Playstyle

Helminth Roar over Pulverize — Feast for armor/strip fuel, Nourish Viral + energy, guns clear. Gastro optional.

Passive abilities

Armor scales with enemies in the gut. Feast fuels Nourish, Pulverize, and Regurgitate — an empty stomach shuts the kit down. ~134% Strength fully strips with Regurgitate.

Active abilities

  • 1 Feast — Swallow enemies. Gourmand spends health instead of energy and adds armor per victim. Hold to vomit bile.
  • 2 Nourish — Heal from the gut, Viral weapon buff, energy multiplier, AoE Viral on hit. Keep it up. Hearty Nourishment cleanses.
  • 3 Pulverize — Meatball mode with heal and knockdowns. Catapult launches you. Common Roar Helminth slot.
  • 4 Regurgitate — Puke a bile enemy as a toxic projectile — slow + armor strip. Gastro adds bouncing gas clouds.
  • Helminth over Pulverize (Roar / Eclipse). Keep Feast + Nourish.
