Wrong drop or mechanic?
Why this build?
Starter for Learning Restraint, Star Chart, first Baruuk
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
0 Forma, basic mods, no Helminth or shards required
You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.
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.

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.

Common mistakes
Elude while meleeing
