First Regulators — Star Chart
Shatter Shield, then Peacemaker. Open the Regulator grid. Hornet Strike is enough to clear Star Chart. 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: Peacemaker god.
- Unlock Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts on Progress and Peace Out — Steel Path replaces this.
