Gun-leaning Atlas — Petrify locks the room, a Helminth buffs weapons, and Landslide is mobility / panic i-frames instead of the clear plan.

Arsenal

Playstyle

Petrify to lock packs, shoot under a Helminth damage buff, and treat Landslide as mobility / panic i-frames instead of the main DPS plan.

Passive abilities

Atlas cannot be knocked down while grounded. Rubble from petrified kills and Rumblers is his second resource — armor, healing, and (with Rubble Heap) free Landslide casts once you hold a high pile.

Active abilities

  • 1 Landslide — Pseudo-exalted punch combo — your clear and i-frame tool. Mod Landslide Fists / melee stick for damage.
  • 2 Tectonics — Bulwark wall. Usually the Helminth slot on modern builds.
  • 3 Petrify — Gaze CC, damage vulnerability on soft targets, Rumbler heal, and rubble generation when statues shatter.
  • 4 Rumblers — Stone summons that petrify on cast and collapse into rubble — keep them for economy or subsume for a buff.
  • Helminth over Tectonics (Roar / Eclipse / Nourish) — guns do the clear.

Mod breakdown

Strength / Duration

Strength for the weapon buff and Petrify vulnerability; Duration for gaze uptime.

Range

Helpful for Petrify cones when you are not punching every pack.

Aura / Exilus

Archon shards

  • Strength — buff + Petrify
  • Duration — gaze
  • Casting Speed — faster lock-down

Helminth

Roar is the generalist gun buff. Eclipse rewards standing still on objectives. Nourish covers Viral + energy.

Mission Usefulness

  • Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption

    Strong

    Petrify locks packs while Helminth-amped guns clear — solid when you are tired of punch strings.

  • Mobile Defense / Excavation

    Excellent

    Petrify locks the objective while guns delete.

  • Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs

    Excellent

    Gun clear with stone CC — faster than banking rubble for Fist Economy.

  • Spy / Rescue / Nightmare

    Weak

    Still a loud melee-adjacent kit; not a Spy specialist.

  • Open World / Bounties

    Strong

    Camp stages reward Petrify + guns; travel stretches lean on Operator / Archwing.

  • Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content

    Situational

    Better than pure fists if your guns already reach; still not an Eidolon frame.
