Don’t build this yet
First Paladin first
This loadout sits at Optimised. 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.
Open First PaladinWhy this build?
Optimised for Netracells, Archon, EDA. You have Helminth or you don't need it.
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- 167% Strength is the Reckoning full-strip number. Build to it, then stop greed-stacking unless you want fatter slams.
- Health orbs are the new passive. Equilibrium plus Reckoning is a battery.
- Hallowed Ground first. Reckoning on grass is bonus Radiation damage per status.
Don’t use this for: new accounts · Star Chart only · players without Helminth · solo level-cap
Helminth, shards, and a finished configuration
You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.
Bring: Radiation / Viral gun — Stripped, radiated enemies die to anything. Nourish Viral is greedy.
Alternative if…
- You don’t have Helminth yet → First Paladin
- Star Chart only → First Paladin
- This is too much Forma / cost → Full Strip Slam — Steel Path

Medium confidence. A solid recommendation with more situational dependencies. Confidence is not verification. Verification is separate: Codex Checked against Update 43.5.

What to put on the body
Nourish (Grendel) over Smite (1)
You give up the single-target Overguard peel for Viral and energy. Reckoning is the AoE strip. Keep Smite if your squad lacks Overguard answers — then Helminth nothing.
Helminth is locked. Tick it on Progress before you subsume.

- 2Renewal (3) so the armor buff is running.
- 3Reckoning (4). Armor gone at 167%. They hit the floor. Orbs drop. Passive charges.

Grass, then slam
