Playstyle

Metronome Nocturne — crouch on the beat for invis, Amp for weapon damage, optional quiet Mallet for aggro soak. Duration is the whole stealth loop.

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 MalletScales damage from hits taken and draws fire. Partitioned Mallet adds a second drum.
  • 2 ResonatorCharms and rolls into Mallets. Conductor lets you redirect it on command.
  • 3 MetronomeRhythm buffs — Nocturne invis on crouch beats is the stealth gun core.
  • 4 AmpDoubles nearby Mallet damage/range and buffs squad weapons from decibels.
  • Keep Metronome + Amp. Mallet optional tank. Helminth often over Resonator.
