Playstyle

Condemn chains for shield gates and pinned headshot targets, Penance for fire rate and lifesteal, Covenant for crits.

Passive abilities

Headshots build Overshields. Covenant converts absorbed damage into squad crit chance; Lasting Covenant extends that buff on headshot kills so one good cast can last a mission.

Active abilities

  • 1 Condemn — Chain wave that pins enemies and restores shields per hit. Tribunal shares Penance/Thurible triggers.
  • 2 Penance — Spend shields for fire rate / reload and convert damage dealt into squad healing.
  • 3 Thurible — Channel energy into a kill-energy aura. Warding Thurible adds DR while channeling.
  • 4 Covenant — i-frames then crit chance buff from absorbed damage. Lasting Covenant is the headshot endurance key.
  • Keep Condemn. Optional Tribunal for squad share. Lasting Covenant recommended.

  • Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content

    Situational

    Chains want packs; snipers still work under Covenant.
