Info

  • Disometric Guard is Qorvex’s ability 3.
  • Guard yourself and nearby allies against Status Effects.
  • Use it with the rest of the kit — especially Chyrinka Pillar, Containment Wall — instead of casting it in isolation.
  • Ability Strength, Duration, Range, and Efficiency each matter differently; check Mod Scaling below before dumping all four.

Tips & Tricks

  • Read the battlefield first — cast Disometric Guard when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
  • Pair Disometric Guard with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
  • On Steel Path, confirm whether Disometric Guard still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
  • If you never press 3, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Qorvex.

Mod Scaling

Strength

Strength matters if Disometric Guard scales effect power; otherwise dump it for other stats.

Duration

Duration is low priority on Disometric Guard unless an augment or lingering effect needs it.

Range

Increases Disometric Guard’s reach, radius, or targeting distance.

Efficiency

Disometric Guard costs energy each cast — Efficiency (or strong regen) keeps the loop comfortable on long missions.

Priority

Stack the stats that actually move this ability’s needle, then Efficiency for uptime.

Mission Use Cases

MissionHow to Use It
Steel Path Survival / Defense / DisruptionTest whether Disometric Guard still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled.
Mobile Defense / ExcavationUse Disometric Guard to control or delete the swarm on the objective, then reposition.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsCast Disometric Guard only when it saves time — skip it on empty tiles.
Spy / Rescue / Quiet RoutesIf Disometric Guard is loud or forces combat, save it for after the vault; if it’s stealth-friendly, use it to stay safe.

Comparisons

  • VS

    Vs similar tools on other frames — Disometric Guard is tuned for Qorvex’s loop — don’t judge it as a standalone subsume without the rest of the kit.
