Playstyle

Energy Transfer — charge Maim in Night under Pacify safety, Metamorphosis to Day, release the conserved nuke. Best of both forms.

Passive abilities

Health and Energy Orb conversion (Equilibrium-lite). Emissive color picks starting Day or Night form. Metamorphosis swaps forms — Night for Pacify / Rest / Mend, Day for Provoke / Rage / Maim.

Active abilities

  • 1 Metamorphosis — Swap Day / Night with temporary armor or damage buffs. Duality frees a clone. Keep for form access.
  • 2 Rest & Rage — Night sleep CC or Day damage vulnerability. Calm & Frenzy spreads on kill.
  • 3 Pacify & Provoke — Night damage reduction aura or Day Ability Strength aura. Peaceful Provocation adds slow / Strength ramp.
  • 4 Mend & Maim — Night shield mend or Day slash nuke charge. Energy Transfer keeps charge across form swaps.
  • Augment: Energy Transfer on Mend & Maim. Peaceful Provocation recommended.

    Flexible clear once form swaps are comfortable.

    Rest helps Spy; Metamorphosis swaps are loud.

    Best of both forms on bounty stages.

  • Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content
