Same frame, different job. These are not missing rungs — they are optional identities once the path feels easy.

Kiss Execute

Best for: Steel Path packs, energy hungry casters, people who like leaping

Mercy's Kiss one-shots anything under half health. Orbs feed Equilibrium. Spider-mode melee is this button.
