Playstyle

Helminth over Pull — Crush strip and Polarize shields while a weapon buff and guns clear. Magnetize optional grouping.

  • 2 Magnetize — Bubble that sucks projectiles and enemies. Magnetized Discharge detonates and disarms.
  • 3 Polarize — Expanding wave that shreds armor/shields into shield restore. Counter Pulse jams guns.
  • 4 Crush — Magnetic crush. Fracturing Crush full-strips at ~134% Strength and roots melee.
  • Helminth over Pull (Roar / Breach Surge / Nourish). Keep Crush for strip.
