Playstyle

Helminth over Spectrorage — Splinter Storm DR and a weapon buff while guns clear. Vitrify remains optional CC / Storm refresh.

Passive abilities

Melee wall attacks grant a chance for glass damage. Splinter Storm hits 90% DR around 134% Strength. Smash Mass Vitrify with Shattered Lash to feed infinite Splinter Storm damage.

Active abilities

  • 1 Shattered Lash — Glass melee wave / hold arc. Smashes Mass Vitrify walls and scales with melee mods. Shattered Storm spreads on smash.
  • 2 Splinter Storm — DR cloud + scaling damage. Cast on yourself, allies, companions, and objectives.
  • 3 Spectrorage — Mirror carousel CC. Spectrosiphon drops energy orbs on deaths inside.
  • 4 Mass Vitrify — Expanding glass ring that crystallizes, then hardens into a wall — smash with Lash to nuke and stack Storm.
