Playstyle

Helminth gun platform — Bloodletting energy, optional Talons slash amp, guns clear under Nourish / Roar. Mirror for panic absorb.

Passive abilities

Deaths near Garuda raise her damage. Bloodletting converts health to energy and cleanses status — pair with a heal source (Altar, Gloom, Nourish/Molt Reconstruct, Operator) so the engine never stalls.

Active abilities

  • 1 Dread Mirror — Life-steal shield that absorbs damage into a chargeable Dread Heart. Dread Ward grants brief unkillable on Mirror kills.
  • 2 Blood Altar — Impale heal station. Most common Helminth slot (Nourish / Gloom / Pillage).
  • 3 Bloodletting — Health for energy + status cleanse. Blood Forge reloads weapons. Core of every modern loop.
  • 4 Seeking Talons — Slash force-procs + slash vulnerability debuff. Blending Talons adds tap AoE and Talon combo.
  • Helminth over Blood Altar (Nourish / Roar / Eclipse). Keep Bloodletting.
