Keep Vex Armor up (recast or Guardian Armor), layer Elemental Ward, and let guns carry. Helminth over Spectral Scream or Effigy.

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.

• 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.
• Augment: Guardian Armor on Vex Armor. Helminth over 1 or 4.

• Strength
• Duration
• Casting Speed

Replace Spectral Scream or Effigy with Roar / Eclipse / Nourish / Dispensary.

• Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption

  Excellent

  Vex Armor turns guns into SP delete tools while Ward covers survivability.

• Mobile Defense / Excavation

  Excellent

  Park on the point with Vex + Ward up and shoot.

• Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs

  Strong

  Buff uptime matters — still clears fast with Incarnons.

• Spy / Rescue / Nightmare

  Weak

  Loud dragon kit, not stealth.

• Open World / Bounties

  Strong

  Camps reward Vex guns; travel is fine with the same buffs.

• Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content

  Excellent

  Classic Eidolon / long-range weapon platform — Vex multiplies sniper and Amp setups.
