Choose one play setting and one role; both filters apply.
01 / Solar
Fireteam Medic
Speaker's Sight + Lumina
Healing turrets, targeted healing, damage support, and Well of Radiance. The clearest dedicated medic in the library.
- Best fit
- Keeping friends alive during objectives and planned damage phases.
- Trade-off
- Support-driven Benevolence needs allies; not the recommended solo starting point.
02 / Solar
Phoenix Engine
Phoenix Protocol + Bad Juju
A Well-centered support build that uses kills and assists to help recover Super energy for the next team hold.
- Best fit
- Group encounters with steady enemy waves and useful Well positions.
- Trade-off
- Refunds need qualifying kills/assists; an isolated boss is not an endless Well loop.
03 / Void
Event Horizon
Contraverse Hold + Legend of Acrius
Charged Vortex Grenades deliver lingering damage and Weaken, while Devour rewards kills with healing and grenade energy.
- Best fit
- General PvE, sustained area pressure, and a self-sufficient damage role.
- Trade-off
- Acrius needs safe close range. For general ranged encounters, swap to a suitable Heavy and match the surge.
04 / Strand
Puppet Master
Mataiodoxia + Euphony
A Threadling Nest and Euphony supply summons while Arcane Needle marks enable Suspend-driven control.
- Best fit
- Combining swarm damage with disabling susceptible enemies for the team.
- Trade-off
- Control is not healing or tanking; boss immunity and Special ammo limit the loop.
05 / Strand
Dread Weaver
Deimosuffusion + Euphony
Rift-triggered Suspend, Weaver's Call summons, and Weavewalk provide a defensive control and Threadling package.
- Best fit
- Players who want summons, recovery tools, and control rather than a dedicated medic.
- Trade-off
- Weavewalk consumes melee energy; Rift range and Suspend immunity matter.
06 / Void
Pocket Supernova
Contraverse Hold + Legend of Acrius
Chaos Accelerant converts Magnetic Grenade into a short-range Handheld Supernova for aggressive burst and Devour follow-up.
- Best fit
- Close packs, doorways, and short burst windows where approaching is safe.
- Trade-off
- No lingering Vortex field; grenade and shotgun range make it less universal.
07 / Stasis
Cold Front
Osmiomancy Gloves + Ager's Scepter
Two Coldsnaps, Iceflare freeze chains, and Frostpulse Rift recovery. Protect the team by stopping threats before they fire.
- Best fit
- Add-heavy rooms, safer solo progression, and a fireteam controller role.
- Trade-off
- Freeze-resistant bosses limit control; Heavy choice carries much of the boss-damage job.
08 / Arc
Circuit Breaker
Geomag Stabilizers + Delicate Tomb
Ionic Traces fuel abilities and Chaos Reach, while Ionic Sentry adds chain lightning, Blind, and Bolt Charge.
- Best fit
- Add-rich encounters, Arc ability pressure, and a beam-focused combat loop.
- Trade-off
- Exodus Down adaptation of a meta core, not the source's alternate-set infinite-Super loop. No Devour; protect your Rift and Orb recovery.
09 / Prismatic
Spectrum Engine
Getaway Artist + Khvostov 7G-0X
Arc Soul and Hellion add autonomous pressure, with Devour sustain, Arcane Needle, and a Kinetic-driven Transcendence loop.
- Best fit
- A meta-supported all-round companion build for everyday solo and group combat.
- Trade-off
- Devour still needs defeats. No Stasis turret; balance Darkness energy and plan for boss encounters without adds.
No builds match that combination.

What the categories mean.
- Solo: Recommended without relying on teammate-triggered support loops. It does not mean every solo encounter is easy.
- Group: Fits fireteam play, whether through support, control, or damage.
- Support: Healing, buffs, debuffs, or deliberate crowd control are a major job. Read the card to distinguish medic from controller.
- DPS: A damage-led role, including sustained grenade pressure, summons, or close burst. Not a boss-DPS tier list.
- All-round: A flexible balance of damage, personal survival, and utility, with encounter-specific weapon adjustments.
One suggested three-player team.
Fireteam Medic + Cold Front + Event Horizon: healing and buffs, freeze control, and damage with Weaken. Everyone still contributes weapon damage, mechanics, and Champion coverage.
