Landslide
Used by Atlas
Landslide
Bash enemies with an explosive sliding punch, repeat up to three times for a combo attack. Each hit in the three-punch combo increases the radius of the attack. Energy cost is reduced with each hit of Landslide. Install mods on the Landslide Fists to boost stats.

Info
- Landslide is Atlas’s ability 1.
- Bash enemies with an explosive sliding punch, repeat up to three times for a combo attack.
- Use it with the rest of the kit — especially Tectonics, Petrify — instead of casting it in isolation.
- Ability Strength, Duration, Range, and Efficiency each matter differently; check Mod Scaling below before dumping all four.
Augment
Path Of Statues
Landslide Augment: Leave a trail for 12s that petrifies enemies for 6s.
AtlasLandslide Augment: Leave a trail for 12s that petrifies enemies for 6s.
Max rank drain ~9; see rank table on the augment page.
Cast Changes
- Modifies Landslide with: Landslide Augment: Leave a trail for 12s that petrifies enemies for 6s.
- Rank up the augment to unlock the full effect values.
- Costs a mod slot (and capacity) — only equip it when the change matters for your loop.
Worth the Slot?
- Worth it when the augment’s change is central to how you play Atlas.
- Skip it if the base Landslide already does what you need and you’d rather keep the slot for survivability or strength.
Tips & Tricks
- Read the battlefield first — cast Landslide when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
- Pair Landslide with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
- On Steel Path, confirm whether Landslide still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
- If you never press 1, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Atlas.

Mod Scaling
Strength
- Strength matters if Landslide scales effect power; otherwise dump it for other stats.
Duration
- Duration is low priority on Landslide unless an augment or lingering effect needs it.
Range
- Increases Landslide’s reach, radius, or targeting distance.
Efficiency
- Landslide 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
| Mission | How to Use It |
|---|---|
| Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption | Test whether Landslide still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled. |
| Mobile Defense / Excavation | Use Landslide to control or delete the swarm on the objective, then reposition. |
| Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs | Cast Landslide only when it saves time — skip it on empty tiles. |
| Spy / Rescue / Quiet Routes | If Landslide is loud or forces combat, save it for after the vault; if it’s stealth-friendly, use it to stay safe. |
Comparisons

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