Jade — Accusatory Gaze
Endgame build. Ophanim Eyes as a full armor/shield melt. Strength to the strip breakpoint. Pillage or Tharros if you want it faster.

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 HymnWhy this build?
Endgame for Steel Path Grineer, Demolysts, people who picked Jade to peel not to fly
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- Ophanim Eyes is a slow plus a strip plus a ranged revive. That is a lot of 3.
- Pillage over 1 is the 2026 'I am tired of staring' subsume.
- You can still Glory. This config just admits strip is the job.
Don’t use this for: Star Chart only · new accounts · players without Helminth
Specialised investment for hard content
You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.
Bring: Any weapon — Once armor is gone, everything kills. Deathbringer song still helps.
Alternative if…
- You don’t have Helminth yet → First Hymn
- Star Chart only → First Hymn
- New account or low investment → First Hymn
- This is too much Forma / cost → Artillery Angel — Optimised

Medium confidence. A solid recommendation with more situational dependencies. Confidence is not verification. Verification is separate: Codex Checked against Update 43.5.

Wells are cute. Pillage is an instant full strip plus shield restore once Strength is there. Tharros is a cone strip and a heal. Eyes still slow and revive.
Helminth is locked. Tick it on Progress before you subsume.
