Arsenal
Primary
Hit Crystallize growths for forced red crits — status guns love Prismatic Gem priming.
Melee
Companion
Free-moving companions carry Prismatic Companion — sentinels do not.
Playstyle
Crystallize packs, shoot the growths for forced red crits, and let Recrystalize spread. Prismatic Companion still primes while Shell tanks.
Passive abilities
Affinity-range health regen scales with Health Orb pickups. Fractured Blast feeds that loop — Strength toward ~200% locks health/energy orb chance and Preserving Shell’s DR cap.
Active abilities
- 1 Fractured Blast — Slash stagger + orb bait. Common Helminth slot when Nourish covers energy.
- 2 Preserving Shell — Decaying DR for you and allies — keep kills flowing to top it back up.
- 3 Prismatic Gem — Status beams + status chance/duration aura. Prismatic Companion sticks it to a free-moving companion.
- 4 Crystallize — Paralyze + guaranteed red-crit crystal weak spots. Recrystalize spreads on crystal kills.
- Augment: Recrystalize on Crystallize. Prismatic Companion strongly recommended.

Mission Usefulness
Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption
Recrystalize chains crystal red-crit spots across dense SP rooms.
Mobile Defense / Excavation
Crystallize the point wave, shoot growths, let spread clear the next clump.
Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs
Chain spreads shine in packed tiles; empty hallways waste casts.
Spy / Rescue / Nightmare
Combat crystal spam — not stealth.
Open World / Bounties
Camp clumps Recrystalize well; open travel needs Operator hops.
Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content
Crystal growths want mid-range packs, not Eidolon sightlines.
