Jade — Artillery Angel

Don’t build this yet

First Hymn first

This loadout sits at Optimised. 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?

Optimised for Netracells, Archon, EDA. You have Helminth or you don't need it.

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

• 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: new accounts · Star Chart only · frames played as a gun platform only

Helminth, shards, and a finished configuration

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.

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.

Your next step

Next: Artillery Angel — Endgame

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

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.

• Farm Growing Power

  The Silver Grove quest

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.
