Hildryn — Aegis Gale

Don’t build this yet

First Pillage 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.

Why this build?

Endgame for endgame / endurance, the current Codex Hildryn, room-clear hover

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

• Aegis Gale is why Hildryn is a 2026 nuke, not a 2019 hover meme.
• Shields are damage. Primed Redirection, Azure shield shards, Augur Accord — all damage mods.
• Never Flow. Never Primed Flow. Never Energize. Streamline, Redirection, Pillage.

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: Balefire Charger (exalted) — Open Balefire's own secondary grid. Hornet Strike, Barrel Diffusion, Lethal Torrent, primed crit, Fulmination, an elemental. Secondary Enervate on the gun. Aegis Gale's alt-fire is the nuke.

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 Corrosive Projection

   One named gap. Open Nightwave

2. 60 minutes

   Corrosive Projection, 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 Corrosive Projection

  Open Nightwave

Depends on

What this loadout needs

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