Smoke and Steel — Star Chart
Invisible, armor-stripped, cheap. Learn Smoke Screen before you touch Blade Storm. Primed Continuity and Primed Flow are the first real upgrade — not Blind Rage.
Junctions through the Outer Terminus. Steel Path is the next card, not this one.
- Steel Path ready: Arcanes are fair game, shards can wait.
- Content: Steel Path matched against what this loadout is actually for.
- Playstyle: Stay invisible.
- Unlock Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts on Progress and Wrathful Clones — Steel Path replaces this.
