Dagath — Doomed Guns

Endgame build. Eclipse or Roar over Wyrd Scythes. Spirit doubles crit on Doomed targets. You are a weapon platform with a cheat death.

Wrong drop or mechanic?

Don’t build this yet

First Doom 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.

Open First Doom

Why this build?

Endgame for Incarnons, crit guns, people who picked Dagath for Grave Spirit not horses

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

Play this in Steel Path

Grave Spirit is a unique crit-damage buff. Weapon-platform Dagath is real.
Spectral Spirit means you do not need 1 to apply Doom. That slot is Helminth bait.
Horses are still there. Press 4 when armor laughs at the Incarnon.

Don’t use this for: ability-nuke as the damage · players without Helminth

Specialised investment for hard content

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

Bring: Crit primary — A crit Incarnon or a melee. Grave Spirit is a crit-damage coat, doubled on Doomed. That is the gun buff.

Alternative if…

You don’t have Helminth yet → First Doom
Star Chart only → First Doom
New account or low investment → First Doom
This is too much Forma / cost → Phantom Stampede — Optimised

Instead: First Doom Instead: First Doom — Star Chart Instead: Phantom Stampede — Steel Path Instead: Phantom Stampede — Optimised

Your note, in this browser. Separate from Codex verification — the stamp on the card is editorial, this is yours.

Readiness

Inventory unknown

Not checked — add your collection. You have not failed a test.

Required mods 0/9 · required — 0/9 named
Forma 0/4 · required — 4 on the card. Codex does not track installed Forma.
Helminth 0/1 · required — Subsume Eclipse (Mirage) or Roar (Rhino)
Arcanes · recommended — 0/2 recommended
Shards · optional — Optional unless the card says a breakpoint

Investment: 4 Forma · Reactor · Helminth (Eclipse (Mirage) or Roar (Rhino)) · 2 shards · 4 specialised mods. Typical farm ~4–6 hours. Trade if a route is vaulted.

Codex Checked · Compared against current game data for this update. · Update 43.5 · 5 Sept 2026 · PC · Current

Medium confidence. A solid recommendation with more situational dependencies. Confidence is not verification. Verification is separate: Codex Checked against Update 43.5.

What to put on the body

Eclipse (Mirage) or Roar (Rhino) over Wyrd Scythes (1)

You will not press 1. Eclipse while you shoot Doomed crit-buffed targets is greedy. Roar if the squad wants the buff. Spectral Spirit still paints Doom so Cavalry still strips when you bother to press 4.

Helminth is locked. Tick it on Progress before you subsume.

Tonight

What is actually up

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

30 minutes
Farm Growing Power
One named gap. The Silver Grove quest
60 minutes
Growing Power, then Forma
Finish the missing named card, then spend a Forma if a polarity is still fighting you.
120 minutes
Subsume Eclipse (Mirage) or Roar (Rhino)
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 picked Dagath so your Incarnon could crit harder.

Time to a playable copy: After Eclipse or Roar over Scythes.
First mission to practice in: A long Exterminate. You want Doomed crits, not horses.

Common mistakes

Skipping Doom apply
Without Spirit's 100% Doom, the doubled crit is off. Press 3.
