Ash — Savage Room
Endgame build. Subsume Silence over Shuriken. Blade Storm clones inherit the finisher window.

Wrong drop or mechanic?
Don’t build this yet
Smoke and Steel first
This loadout sits at Endgame. It wants Forma, Helminth, or shards you may not have. Play the Starter until those systems are open — then this page is the upgrade, not the homework.
Open Smoke and SteelWhy this build?
Endgame for Dense Steel Path, Eximus rooms, people who hate radios and Noxes
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- You give up Seeking Shuriken. Finishers and Slash do not care.
- Savage Silence on a subsumed Silence is legal and is the reason this config exists.
- Range on Silence is more damage than another Strength mod once the window is open.
Don’t use this for: open-world / Eidolons · Star Chart only
Specialised investment for hard content
You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.
Bring: Shadow Clones — Same exalted grid as Wrathful Clones. Savage Silence is doing the armor-ignore work Seeking Shuriken used to do.
Alternative if…
- You don’t have Helminth yet → Smoke and Steel
- Star Chart only → Smoke and Steel
- New account or low investment → Smoke and Steel
- This is too much Forma / cost → Wrathful Clones — Optimised

- Forma 0/4 · required — 4 on the card. Codex does not track installed Forma.
- Helminth 0/1 · required — Subsume Silence (Banshee)
- Arcanes · recommended — 0/2 recommended

Medium confidence. A solid recommendation with more situational dependencies. Confidence is not verification. Verification is separate: Codex Checked against Update 43.5.

Who this is for
Play this build from zero
Steel Path rooms with screaming Eximus. You have Helminth.
- Time to a playable copy
- After subsuming Banshee's Silence and buying Savage Silence.
- First mission to practice in
- Steel Path Survival. You want Eximus noise so you can hear it die.

Common mistakes
Forgetting Savage Silence is a Banshee mod
It still slots on Ash. Buy it from Red Veil / Arbiters.
When this feels easy
- 1More rangeOverextended looks ugly on the Strength bar. Silence radius is the damage.
