Arsenal

Playstyle

Eidolon / Profit-Taker leaning Vex platform — max Strength and Duration, sniper-friendly arsenal, Helminth damage buff.

Passive abilities

Chroma’s emissive element still flavors Elemental Ward. Vex Armor is the damage engine — keep it up (Guardian Armor helps uptime). Spectral Scream and Effigy are common Helminth slots.

Active abilities

  • 1 Spectral Scream — Element breath / cycle tool. Often subsumed.
  • 2 Elemental Ward — Elemental self-buff — Cold armor, Heat health, Electric shields, Toxin holster/reload.
  • 3 Vex Armor — Armor and weapon damage buff. Guardian Armor is the modern uptime augment.
  • 4 Effigy — Sentry / credit lure. Often replaced for weapon platforms.
  • Helminth Roar / Eclipse over Effigy or Scream. Vex always up.

Helminth

Roar is the hunt generalist. Eclipse if you can hold line of sight.

Mission Usefulness

  • Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption

    Strong

    Works, but this page is tuned for hunt / long-range more than endless packs.

  • Mobile Defense / Excavation

    Situational

    Usable; overbuilt for point-hold.

  • Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs

    Situational

    Buffs help, but the loadout leans sniper / Amp.

  • Spy / Rescue / Nightmare

    Weak

    Wrong tool.

  • Open World / Bounties

    Excellent

    Profit-Taker / open-world bosses love Vex weapon platforms.

  • Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content

    Excellent

    Eidolon and long-sightline hunting is the point of this page.
