Ensnare or Dome packs, spam Whipclaw with Accumulating Whipclaw stacks. ~200% Range caps whip radius. Shield-gate with Brief Respite + Augur.

Venari fights beside Khora even if you Helminth over the Venari ability. Whipclaw is a pseudo-exalted that scales from melee mods. Strangledome shares Whipclaw hits across trapped enemies.

- 2 Ensnare — Pull and bind packs into a ball for Whipclaw.
- 3 Venari — Command Venari modes. Venari Bodyguard is a cheat-death. Common Helminth slot — Venari still exists passively.
