Junctions through the Outer Terminus. Steel Path is the next card, not this one.
- Steel Path ready: Arcanes are fair game, shards can wait.
- Content: Steel Path matched against what this loadout is actually for.
- Playstyle: Aegis Gale hover.
- Unlock Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts on Progress and Aegis Gale — Steel Path replaces this.
