Caliban — Razor Mortar

Don’t build this yet

First Brood 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.

Why this build?

Endgame for endgame / endurance general, the 2025–2026 Caliban Prime identity

Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.

• Razor Mortar is the Caliban augment. Ortholysts are the summon you build this around.
• 200% Strength is the Fusion Strike full-strip line.
• Overextended looks painful. Range is every ability.

Don’t use this for: Star Chart only · new accounts

Specialised investment for hard content

You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.

Bring: Summons — Ortholysts are the gun Sentients. Razor Mortar makes them focus the Gyre pile with Electricity damage and fire rate. Arcane Camisado stacks summon damage as they get kills.

Tonight

What is actually up

30 minutes, one hour, or two — matched to this loadout, not a dump of the Origin System.

1. 30 minutes

   Farm Growing Power

   One named gap. The Silver Grove quest

2. 60 minutes

   Growing Power, then Forma

   Finish the missing named card, then spend a Forma if a polarity is still fighting you.

3. 120 minutes

   One Archon Hunt

   If you are logging off after this, stop at the named component. Do not start a second Forma session tired.

• Farm Growing Power

  The Silver Grove quest

What this loadout needs

Required is a gate. Recommended is a ceiling. Optional is a later farm — don’t stall the card for it.
