Playstyle

Helminth over Thermal Sunder or Mach Rush — Redline + Kinetic Plating while a weapon buff and guns clear. Thermal Transfer optional for squad elements.

Passive abilities

Battery charge powers everything — Mach Rush and Thermal Sunder fill it, Redline spends above the redline for huge fire rate / reload / casting buffs. Keep battery high for Kinetic Plating DR and Sunder armor strip.

Active abilities

  • 1 Mach Rush — Hyper-sprint knockback that charges battery. Mach Crash leaves a vacuum. Crash into walls for shockwaves.
  • 2 Kinetic Plating — DR vs kinetic / Heat / Cold / Blast and converts hits to energy. Cap DR at full battery.
  • 3 Thermal Sunder — Tap Cold / hold Heat (or invert). Heat stacks scale; Cold detonates and strips at high battery. Thermal Transfer buffs ally elements.
  • 4 Redline — Push past redline for fire rate, attack speed, reload, and casting speed. Battery management is the skill ceiling.
  • Helminth over Thermal Sunder or Mach Rush (Roar / Nourish / Eclipse). Keep Redline + Plating.
