Which Citrine are you building?
Finder asks which loadout you should use. Compare frames is a different tool — which Warframe you should use.

First Facets — Star Chart
Gem paints four statuses. Fractured Blast groups and prints orbs. Crystallize is the shiny weak spot. You are a health tank. 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: Squad status gem.
- Unlock Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts on Progress and Squad Prism — Steel Path replaces this.
