Mirage — First Audience
Star Chart build. Hall of Mirrors. You become four. Shoot. Eclipse tap is DR, hold is damage. Prism can wait. Primed Continuity and Primed Flow are the first real upgrade — not Blind Rage.

Why this build?
Star Chart for Junctions through the Outer Terminus. Steel Path is the next card, not this one.
Health: Inventory unknown — Mark what you own. Until then this is a recommendation, not a test you failed.
- Hall of Mirrors is Mirage. The clones are the 2026 identity, not Prism lasers.
- Eclipse was reworked to tap DR / hold damage. You pick, you are not at the mercy of a skylight.
- Explosive weapons hit four times. Check your frames. Also check the host's frames.
Don’t use this for: Steel Path endurance · level-cap content
Accessible mods and a working energy / survivability loop
Bring: A loud primary — Shotguns, beams, explosives, and high-multishot rifles love clones. A slow sniper makes four slow snipers. Bring a room-clearer.

What is actually up
30 minutes, one hour, or two — matched to this loadout, not a dump of the Origin System.
30 minutes
Farm Growing Power
One named gap. The Silver Grove quest
60 minutes
Growing Power, then Forma
Finish the missing named card, then spend a Forma if a polarity is still fighting you.
120 minutes
Two farm routes, then a test run
If you are logging off after this, stop at the named component. Do not start a second Forma session tired.

Clone loop
Pocket card. Stick this on a second screen; the long version is the mission below.
- 1Hall of Mirrors (1). Three doppelgangers appear and copy your guns and melee.
- 2Hold Eclipse (3) for a weapon-damage buff, or tap Eclipse if you are eating fire and need DR. They are different now — not light versus dark rooms.
- 3Shoot. Four of you are shooting. Recast 1 before the clones bow out.
- 4Sleight of Hand (2) booby-traps objects. Prism (4) is a disco ball. Starter can ignore both.
First mission — press these buttons
- 1
Press 1
1Three copies fan out. They hold your gun.
You will know it worked when: Hologram Mirages. Extra muzzle flashes.
- 2
Hold 3, then shoot
3Hold Eclipse. Release. Shoot the pack. Four streams of bullets.
- 3
Recast 1 before they bow
The clones expire. Malevolence (later) will reset if you let this drop.
Common mistakes
Standing in a skylight waiting for Eclipse
Lighting does not matter anymore. Hold the button.
When this feels easy
- 1Hall of MalevolenceArbiters / Suda. Next config.
- 2Stop tapping Eclipse for damageHold is damage. Tap is DR. Muscle memory from 2018 is wrong.
