Playstyle

Partitioned Mallet — two drums, Amp scales both, Resonator rolls between them. Slightly less single-drum range, far more room coverage.

Passive abilities

Octavia's song is the build. Mallet tanks and scales damage from hits, Resonator charms and rolls the Mallet, Metronome pays buffs for rhythm (Nocturne invis on crouch beats), and Amp multiplies Mallet damage/range while buffing squad weapons from loud sound.

Active abilities

  • 1 Mallet — Scales damage from hits taken and draws fire. Partitioned Mallet adds a second drum.
  • 2 Resonator — Charms and rolls into Mallets. Conductor lets you redirect it on command.
  • 3 Metronome — Rhythm buffs — Nocturne invis on crouch beats is the stealth gun core.
  • 4 Amp — Doubles nearby Mallet damage/range and buffs squad weapons from decibels.
  • Augment: Partitioned Mallet. Keep Amp + Resonator.
