Equinox

Equinox Prime · The kit

Night sleeps. Day slashes. Transfer swaps.

Equinox is two kits glued together. Night: Rest CC, Pacify, Mend heals. Day: Rage, Provoke Strength, Maim slash nuke. Energy Transfer is the augment that lets you use both without dumping 4. Learn Night first.

Metabolic Inverse

A chunk of Health Orbs become Energy, and a chunk of Energy Orbs become Health. Equilibrium still works — you just get both colors either way. Pick orbs up.

Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis

25

Press 1 to swap faces. Night: Rest, Pacify, Mend. Day: Rage, Provoke, Maim. A short bonus hits on swap. Duality (augment) spawns your other half as a specter. Energy Transfer is the augment that actually matters — it keeps Mend & Maim channeled across the swap. Learn Night first.

Rest & Rage

25

Night: Rest. Targets sleep. Finishers open. Calm & Frenzy spreads sleep on kill. Day: Rage. Targets become more vulnerable and agitated. Range is everything on Rest. This is the CC button and the reason starter Equinox stays Night.

Pacify & Provoke

Channel

A channeled aura. Pacify cuts enemy damage (falloff with distance). Provoke gives nearby allies Ability Strength (capped unless Peaceful Provocation is on). Peaceful turns Pacify into a stacking slow and Provoke into extra Strength you build by dealing damage. 3 dropping on a swap is normal — Transfer only saves 4.

Mend & Maim

Channel + dump

A channel that stores a pool from nearby kills. Night Mend: deactivate to heal and restore shields. Day Maim: Slash ticks while active, deactivate for a slash wave that spends the pool. This is the nuke and the medic button. Energy Transfer keeps it alive across Metamorphosis. Do not forget to deactivate — the dump is the point.
