Mirage — Disco Inferno
Steel Path build. Prism lasers plus Prism Guard so the ball follows you. Strength and Range. This is the caster config, not the clone one.

Why this build?
Steel Path for Star Chart speedruns, people who like the disco ball, Energy-rich tiles
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- Prism is fun and outscaled as a Steel Path nuke. Bring it to Star Chart and fissures, not level cap.
- Prism Guard is mandatory. Without it you throw a ball into a wall and jog after it.
- Hall of Mirrors still belongs here. You can play disco and clones at once.
Don’t use this for: Steel Path endurance · level-cap content · solo level-cap
Stronger mods, Arcanes, real synergy
You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.
Bring: Energy support — Prism drains while it flies. Zenurik, Arcane Energize, or a squad Wisp. The clones can still shoot; the ball is the identity here.
Alternative if…
- Star Chart only → First Audience
- This is too much Forma / cost → First Audience — Star Chart

Experimental. Interesting interaction — less proven or more demanding. Not the same as untested. Verification is separate: Codex Checked against Update 43.5.

- 1Hall of Mirrors (1) anyway. Free extra lasers from clones if they copy Prism's chaos, and extra gun.
- 2Prism (4). Prism Guard keeps it on you. Walk through a packed tile.
- 3Recast 4 to detonate a blind when you want the room to stop shooting.
- 4Eclipse tap if you are eating fire. This config is not the hold-Eclipse gun platform.
First mission — press these buttons
- 1
Throw the ball, walk
44. Guard keeps it on you. Lasers hit the tile.
You will know it worked when: A prism glued to you. Beams everywhere.
- 2
Detonate for the blind
4 again. Then recast if you still want lasers.
Common mistakes
Taking this to level cap
