Nezha — Status Forest

Don’t build this yet

First Ring first

This loadout sits at Endgame. 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?

Endgame for Status weapons, Heat inheritors, packed Steel Path rooms, the Nezha who wants to press 4

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

• Divine Retribution is why Spears stopped being a meme pin.
• Overextended makes a forest. It also shrinks Halo — recast 3 more often or shard Strength.
• Fire Walker still cleanses. Do not forget you can skate through your own heat trail.

Don’t use this for: Star Chart only · new accounts

Specialised investment for hard content

You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.

Bring: Primer / Heat weapon — An Epitaph, a Heat Incarnon, a status melee. Prime the pack, Spear them, watch Retribution copy the statuses onto everyone pinned, slam to pop.

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 Corrosive Projection

   One named gap. Open Nightwave

2. 60 minutes

   Corrosive Projection, 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 Corrosive Projection

  Open Nightwave

What this loadout needs

Required is a gate. Recommended is a ceiling. Optional is a later farm — don’t stall the card for it.
