Info

  • Exalted Solo is Temple’s ability 4.
  • Once a charge has been built up on the Backbeat metronome, set Lizzie aflame and torch enemies with Heat.
  • Use it with the rest of the kit — especially Pyrotechnics, Overdrive — 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 Exalted Solo when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
  • Pair Exalted Solo with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
  • On Steel Path, confirm whether Exalted Solo still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
  • If you never press 4, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Temple.

Mobile Defense / ExcavationUse Exalted Solo to control or delete the swarm on the objective, then reposition.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsCast Exalted Solo only when it saves time — skip it on empty tiles.
Spy / Rescue / Quiet RoutesIf Exalted Solo 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 — Exalted Solo is tuned for Temple’s loop — don’t judge it as a standalone subsume without the rest of the kit.
