Playstyle

Helminth over Aegis Storm or Haven — Pillage strip / shields while a weapon buff and guns clear. Balefire optional.

Passive abilities

Abilities spend shields, not energy. Bigger max shields mean bigger Aegis Gale Balefire alt-fire. Pillage steals shields/armor to refill you — Infested tiles need Rebuild Shields or another plan.

Active abilities

  • 1 Balefire — Exalted pistol bolts. Balefire Surge restores shields on charged hits. Aegis Gale adds shield-scaling alt-fire during Aegis Storm.
  • 2 Pillage — Steal shields/armor and cleanse status. Aim ~164%+ Strength for comfortable full strip with Corrosive Projection.
  • 3 Haven — Ally shield aura + Radiation on approach. Blazing Pillage sets Haven targets ablaze and restores more shields.
  • 4 Aegis Storm — Hover and rain Balefire. Aegis Gale is the modern damage augment. Enemies drop energy orbs for the squad.
  • Helminth over Aegis Storm or Haven (Roar / Eclipse / Condemn). Keep Pillage.
