Loadout

Aura + Exilus on top, then eight general slots in two rows of four.

Arsenal

Playstyle

Endless Lullaby extends sleep on kills so Restraint melts while Hands tank. Still ends in Serene Storm.

Passive abilities

Restraint erodes as you cast abilities. Empty Restraint unlocks Serene Storm’s Desert Wind exalted fists and stacks damage reduction with Desolate Hands daggers (aim for 9+ for the 90% DR breakpoint).

Active abilities

  • 1 EludeDodge stance that avoids most fire while Restraint erodes. Elusive Retribution rewards successful dodges.
  • 2 LullSleep CC and fast Restraint erosion — spam with lower Duration.
  • 3 Desolate HandsOrbiting daggers for DR and disarm. Keep 9+ up.
  • 4 Serene StormDesert Wind exalted fists. Reactive Storm is the modern damage augment.
  • Augment: Endless Lullaby on Lull + Reactive Storm.

Mission Usefulness

  • Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption

    Excellent

    Serene Storm deletes dense packs once Restraint is empty and daggers are topped.

  • Mobile Defense / Excavation

    Excellent

    Hold the point under Desolate Hands DR while fists clear waves.

  • Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs

    Strong

    Fast once Restraint is eroded; slower on the first rooms of a mission.

  • Spy / Rescue / Nightmare

    Situational

    Lull helps quiet tiles, but fists are still a combat kit.

  • Open World / Bounties

    Strong

    Camp stages reward Desert Wind; travel stretches lean on Operator.

  • Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content

    Weak

    Exalted fists want melee range, not Amp hunts.
