First Bubble — Star Chart
Magnetize a heavy. Shoot the bubble. Polarize when shields drop. Crush is a slam, not the kit. Primed Continuity and Primed Flow are the first real upgrade — not Blind Rage.
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: Magnetize nuke.
- Unlock Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts on Progress and Shrapnel Engine — Steel Path replaces this.
