Assimilate forever — strip with Psychic Bolts, shoot under immortality, dump Absorb when stacked for a nuke and weapon damage buff. Duration cuts drain.

Enemies affected by abilities can feed Absorb. Assimilate turns Absorb into channeled immortality with weapons. Psychic Bolts strip defenses around ~125% Strength. Mind Control thralls can be damage-amped by shooting them.

• 1 Mind Control — Enthrall a target. Mind Freak massively amps thrall damage. Common Helminth slot on Assimilate guns.
• 2 Psychic Bolts — Homing strip bolts. Pacifying Bolts add sleep. Hit strip Strength.
• 3 Chaos — Radiation confusion. Chaos Sphere leaves a lingering field.
• 4 Absorb — Store damage, then blast. Assimilate lets you move and shoot while invulnerable.
• Augment: Assimilate on Absorb. Common Helminth: Roar / Nourish / Wrathful Advance over Mind Control or Chaos.

• Duration
• Casting Speed / parkour velocity
• Strength for strip

Wrathful Advance helps Assimilate mobility. Roar / Nourish for guns. Keep Absorb.

• Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption

  Excellent

  Assimilate immortality with Psychic Bolts strip deletes SP while you shoot under Absorb damage buffs.

  Excellent

  Plant on the point in Assimilate, strip, shoot.

• Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs

  Situational

  Movement is slower in Assimilate — roll / Operator help.

  Weak

  Loud psychic kit — not stealth.

• Open World / Bounties

  Strong

  Immortal camps.

• Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content

  Situational

  Immortal gunplay helps; not classic Amps.
