Pocket Cataclysm Limbo - tiny Duration-heavy bubbles that lock cryopods and excavators without rift-griefing public Steel Path Defense. Limbo Prime's extra polarities cut Forma versus base Limbo for the same polarity story.

Playstyle

Low Range Cataclysm — pocket the cryopod / excavator, Stasis freeze, do not rift-grief the whole map. Public Defense manners.

Passive abilities

Roll or dodge into the Rift for energy regen and safety. Cast Stasis and Cataclysm from inside the Rift so cast animations cannot be interrupted. Enemies in the wrong plane cannot hurt you.

Active abilities

  • 1 Banish — Send targets into or out of the Rift. Common Helminth slot on DPS setups.
  • 2 Stasis — Freeze Rift enemies in place — easy headshots and objective safety.
  • 3 Rift Surge — Mark Rift enemies; kills banish nearby foes. Rift Torrent adds weapon damage per surged enemy.
  • 4 Cataclysm — Rift bubble. Cataclysmic Continuum extends it on kills. Keep Range low in public Defense.
  • Keep Cataclysm + Stasis. Narrow Minded is intentional. Optional Cataclysmic Continuum.

Mission Usefulness

  • Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption

    Excellent

    Tiny Cataclysm + Stasis locks objectives without rift-griefing the whole tile on public SP Defense.

  • Mobile Defense / Excavation

    Excellent

    Pocket bubble on the cryopod / excavator.

  • Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs

    Weak

    Low Range is intentional — not a speed clear.

  • Spy / Rescue / Nightmare

    Situational

    Can protect a Rescue target carefully.

  • Open World / Bounties

    Weak

    Objective lockdown kit.

  • Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content

    Weak

    Not a hunt frame.
