Info

  • Webbed Embrace is Oraxia’s ability 2.
  • Oraxia throws a creeping web to ensnare her prey.
  • Use it with the rest of the kit — especially Mercy's Kiss, Widow's Brood — 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 Webbed Embrace when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
  • Pair Webbed Embrace with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
  • On Steel Path, confirm whether Webbed Embrace still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
  • If you never press 2, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Oraxia.

Mobile Defense / ExcavationUse Webbed Embrace to control or delete the swarm on the objective, then reposition.

Comparisons

  • VS

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