Info
- Stasis is Limbo’s ability 2.
- Freezes Rift-bound enemies.
- Use it with the rest of the kit — especially Banish, Rift Surge — 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 Stasis when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
- Pair Stasis with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
- On Steel Path, confirm whether Stasis still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
- If you never press 2, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Limbo.

Mod Scaling
Strength
- Strength matters if Stasis scales effect power; otherwise dump it for other stats.
Duration
- Extends how long Stasis’s effect lasts.
Range
- Range is usually dumpable on Stasis unless you feel the hitbox is too tight.
Efficiency
- Stasis 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 Stasis still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled. |
| Mobile Defense / Excavation | Use Stasis to control or delete the swarm on the objective, then reposition. |
| Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs | Cast Stasis only when it saves time — skip it on empty tiles. |
| Spy / Rescue / Quiet Routes | If Stasis 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 — Stasis is tuned for Limbo’s loop — don’t judge it as a standalone subsume without the rest of the kit.
