Playstyle

Albrecht Entrati designed Qorvex to protect a Chosen Operator from the unique hazards of his lab. Built around Chyrinka Pillar, Containment Wall, Disometric Guard.

Passive

Weapons wielded by Qorvex have an additional +punch through Punch Through.

When to Pick

  • You want a crowd control toolkit and Qorvex’s fantasy matches the mission.
  • Your squad is missing what Qorvex brings — especially Chyrinka Pillar.
  • You already own the mods / archon shards that make Qorvex’s scaling comfortable on Steel Path.

Kit Overview

  • Chyrinka Pillar (Ability 1): Summon a Chyrinka Pillar that slows enemies.
  • Containment Wall (Ability 2): Contain the threat.
  • Disometric Guard (Ability 3): Guard yourself and nearby allies against Status Effects.
  • Crucible Blast (Ability 4): Release a beam from Qorvex's Crucible Core.

    Containment Wall

    Contain the threat. Qorvex summons walls that slam together, damaging all enemies caught between them and inflicting Radiation Status.

  • 3

Helminth / Subsume

  • Chyrinka Pillar is often the Helminth sacrifice if your build never needs Ability 1 and you’d rather import a strip, buff, or survival tool.
  • Keep Containment Wall and later abilities when they define Qorvex’s identity.
  • Never subsume the ability that enables the rest of the kit’s energy or survival loop.

Mod Scaling

Strength

Raises damage and effect potency across Qorvex’s Strength-scaling abilities.

Duration

Extends channeled / timed effects — often comfort on Qorvex if the kit leans on buffs or zones.

Range

Helps radius / targeting tools. Dump it if Qorvex is mostly self-buff or exalted weapons.

Efficiency

Keeps ability uptime comfortable, especially on longer Steel Path missions.

Priority

Match the priority to your main ability — Strength or Duration first for most kits, then Efficiency, then Range.
