First Ink 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 InkWhy this build?
Endgame for Steel Path general, Disruption / Alchemy cheese, the 'this is why she exists' config
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- Shadowgraph is the reason Follie is not 'another DR frame.' The wheel is the identity.
- Rank 30 unlocks the full set. Farm her Hunt until she is 30 before you judge 2.
- Perspective plus barrel is a combo, not two separate buttons. Dive the barrel.
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: The wheel is the weapon — Hold 2, pick the object the tile wants. Arc Trap for general, Barrel plus Perspective for bursts, RPG for a lane, Corralizer to group, Death Orb for a camp. Three Arc Traps max.
Alternative if…
- Star Chart only → First Ink
- New account or low investment → First Ink
- This is too much Forma / cost → Balloon Drop — Optimised

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.

Who this is for
Play this build from zero
Rank 30. You want the whole wheel.
- Time to a playable copy
- After she is 30 and you have clicked every object once in Simulacrum.
- First mission to practice in
- A Disruption or a camp Defense so keys / orbs / traps all have a job.
