Hildryn — Blazing Haven

Steel Path build. Haven is a shield aura. Blazing Pillage sets Haven-marked enemies on fire and refunds extra shields. You are the squad's gate.

Why this build?

Steel Path for Squad play, Defense, people who like keeping everyone overshielded

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

Play this in Defense
  • Blazing Pillage requires Haven. That is why this config exists instead of subsuming 3.
  • You will get thanked in Defense. You will feel slow in an Exterminate. Pick your node.
  • Still no Flow. Redirection. Always Redirection.

Don’t use this for: Capture / short missions · Exterminate speedruns · solo level-cap

Stronger mods, Arcanes, real synergy

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

Bring: Any weapons — You are a support caster. Guns finish. Blazing Pillage wants Haven on so the Heat actually applies.

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.

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 · optional — Not required
  • Arcanes · recommended — 0/2 recommended
  • Shards · optional — Optional unless the card says a breakpoint

Investment: 4 Forma · Reactor · 2 shards · 3 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.

Your next step

Next: Aegis Gale — Optimised

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

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.

Haven loop

Pocket card. Stick this on a second screen; the long version is the mission below.

  1. 1Haven (3) on the squad. A shield aura. Enemies that walk up eat Radiation.
  2. 2Pillage (2) constantly. Blazing Pillage Heats the Haven-marked pack and overfills you.
  3. 3Stand where teammates can actually see the aura. Range is the support.
  4. 4Storm and Balefire are optional. You are the battery.

First mission — press these buttons

  1. 1

    Haven on, then Pillage the door

    2

    Heat plus extra shields. They should be on fire and you should be full.

    You will know it worked when: Haven aura. Heat procs. Overshields on teammates.

  2. 2

    Stand where the aura reaches them

    Range is the support. Don't hide two rooms away.

Common mistakes
