Gyre — Horizon Well

Don’t build this yet

First Spark first

This loadout sits at Optimised. 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.

Why this build?

Optimised for Dense tiles, people who want 2 to be the gun, grouping enjoyers

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

• This is the greedy augment config. Three Gyre augments, Range stacked, 1 is no longer Helminth bait.
• Passive: 10% ability crit per Electric status on the target. Conductive Sphere feeds that.
• Drop an augment (Conductive) if you would rather Gloom. This config is the well.

Don’t use this for: new accounts · Star Chart only

Helminth, shards, and a finished configuration

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

Bring: Guns through the sphere — Conductive Sphere makes projectiles that pass through Arcsphere deal bonus Electricity and guaranteed Electric status. Shoot through the ball.

My test

Did this still work for you?

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

Your next step

Next: Cathode Current — Endgame

Unlock Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts before this upgrade is honest.

Tonight

What is actually up

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

1. 30 minutes

   Farm Growing Power

   One named gap. The Silver Grove quest

2. 60 minutes

   Growing Power, then Forma

   Finish the missing named card, then spend a Forma if a polarity is still fighting you.

3. 120 minutes

   One Archon Hunt

   If you are logging off after this, stop at the named component. Do not start a second Forma session tired.

• Farm Growing Power

  The Silver Grove quest

What this loadout needs

Required is a gate. Recommended is a ceiling. Optional is a later farm — don’t stall the card for it.
