Baruuk — Patience
Star Chart build. Elude, Lull, Desolate Hands. Empty the Restraint meter before you ever press 4. Primed Continuity and Primed Flow are the first real upgrade — not Blind Rage.

Wrong drop or mechanic?
Why this build?
Star Chart for Junctions through the Outer Terminus. Steel Path is the next card, not this one.
Health: Inventory unknown — Mark what you own. Until then this is a recommendation, not a test you failed.
- Baruuk is a meter frame. Pressing 4 at full Restraint is a wet noodle.
- Desolate Hands DR is most of your tank.
- Reactive Storm waits until the fist grid and Strength are real.
Don’t use this for: Steel Path endurance · level-cap content
Accessible mods and a working energy / survivability loop
Bring: Desert Wind (exalted) — Leave Serene Storm off until Restraint is empty. When you do press 4, even a cheap fist grid works on Star Chart.

What is actually up
30 minutes, one hour, or two — matched to this loadout, not a dump of the Origin System.
30 minutes
Farm Corrosive Projection
One named gap. Open Nightwave
60 minutes
Corrosive Projection, then Forma
Finish the missing named card, then spend a Forma if a polarity is still fighting you.
120 minutes
Two farm routes, then a test run
If you are logging off after this, stop at the named component. Do not start a second Forma session tired.

Who this is for
Play this build from zero
You bought him from Eudico and the meter looks like a second health bar.
- Time to a playable copy
- Same day. You can play him without 4.
- First mission to practice in
- A Corpus Exterminate so Elude has bullets to dodge.

Meter loop
Pocket card. Stick this on a second screen; the long version is the mission below.
- 1Elude (1) when bullets fly. You dodge until you attack.
- 2Lull (2) the pack. They sleep. Restraint drops.
- 3Desolate Hands (3) — daggers orbit, disarm, and grant damage reduction. Keep 8+ daggers out.
- 4Only then Serene Storm (4). Punch. Storm restores Restraint — recast 2/3 to dump it again.
First mission — press these buttons
- 1
Hands first
33. Daggers appear. You are tankier.
- 2
Lull a pack
2They sleep. The Restraint bar drops.
You will know it worked when: The meter under your health emptying.
- 3
When it is empty, press 4
4Fists. Light attacks. Waves. If the meter fills, Lull again.
Common mistakes
Elude while meleeing
Attacking cancels Elude. Dodge, then punch, not both.
