Endgame build. Glory on High. Snapshot Power of the Seven into the flight, swap to Deathbringer, hold fire. This is 2026 Jade.

Wrong drop or mechanic?

Don’t build this yet

First Hymn 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 Hymn

Why this build?

Endgame for endgame / endurance, open tiles, anyone who picked Jade to be a gunship

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

Play this in Steel Path
  • Glory is an exalted secondary. If the pistol grid is empty, flight is sightseeing.
  • Snapshot Seven into Eyes and Glory, then ride Deathbringer. That order is the whole trick.
  • Two auras — Growing Power plus Corrosive Projection — is free Strength and less strip work.

Don’t use this for: Star Chart only · new accounts · ability-nuke as the damage

Specialised investment for hard content

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

Bring: Glory (exalted secondary) — Open Glory's pistol grid. Hornet Strike, Primed Fulmination, Secondary Enervate, heat/viral. Fulmination plus Ability Range is the blast radius. This grid is the build.

Readiness

  • Required mods 0/17 · required — 0/17 named
  • Forma 0/6 · required — 6 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: 6 Forma · Reactor · 2 shards · 5 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.

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.

Glory loop

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

  1. 1Power of the Seven (2) — tap to cast. Ophanim Eyes (3) while Seven is live so strip snapshots.
  2. 2Glory on High (4) while Seven is still live so the exalted damage snapshots. Then cycle 2 to Deathbringer.
  3. 3Hold primary fire. Alt-fire detonates Judgments for fat Heat bombs. Light's Judgment (1) wells mark extra Judgments.
  4. 4Kills on Judged enemies extend Symphony. You can stay in the air all mission.

First mission — press these buttons

  1. 1

    Seven, Eyes, Glory

    2

    2, 3, 4 while Seven is live. Then cycle 2 to Deathbringer.

  2. 2

    Hold fire

    4

    Carpet the lane. Alt-fire when you see Judgments stacked.

    You will know it worked when: Flight. Heat pops. Empty tile.

Common mistakes

  • Deathbringer first

    You snapped the wrong song into Glory. Seven first, always.
