Citrine · The kit
Gem, orbs, crystals, health
Citrine is a health-tank status engine. Prismatic Gem paints four elements on whatever the squad shoots. Fractured Blast prints the orbs her passive and Equilibrium want. Crystallize is optional crit-spot tech.
Health
400 → 500
Shields
270 → 370
Armor
265 → 265
Energy
130 → 180
Gem Heart
Nearby allies gain health regeneration. Pick up a Health Orb to raise that tick, up to a cap. You want orbs on the floor — Fractured Blast prints them.
Fractured Blast
25A short-range blast that slashes and staggers. Enemies with Slash status from this have a raised chance to drop health and energy orbs. Equilibrium turns that into a battery. Helminth players steal this as a grouping / orb tool. On Citrine it is your reload button.

- Status
- Slash + stagger
- Orbs
- Raised drop chance
Preserving Shell
50A crystalline shell on Citrine and nearby allies. Damage reduction starts high and decays. Every kill or assist pushes it back up. Recast when it is thin. This is why a 400 HP frame walks into Steel Path without folding.

- Decays, refilled by kills
- Squad
- Nearby allies too
Prismatic Gem
75Deploy a gem. When Citrine or an ally damages an enemy, the gem fires prismatic beams that force Heat, Cold, Toxin, and Electricity. Allies near the gem gain status chance and status duration. Prismatic Companion makes it follow you. This is the 2026 identity.

Crystallize
100Crystal fractals rush out and freeze enemies in place with a growth you can shoot for guaranteed critical damage. Recrystalize spreads the effect when you kill by hitting the growth. Helminth dump if you would rather Gloom or Omamori.

- 100 energy
- Growths
- Shoot for crits
- Recrystalize
- Spreads on crystal-kills
