Oraxia — Widow's Army
Optimised build. Widow's Brood darts apply Toxin. Kills spawn Scuttlers. Camisado stacks summon damage. You are a nest.

First Silk 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 SilkWhy this build?
Optimised for People who like pets, Isleweaver flavor, rooms that should stay occupied after you leave
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- Scuttlers are why 3 exists. Empty Brood is just a Toxin shotgun.
- Line of sight: they are not Xaku guns. Face them at the door.
- Emerald plus Archon Continuity is the strip plan if you refuse a Helminth strip.
Don’t use this for: content this card does not name
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: Scuttlers — They are the weapons. Line of sight matters — think turrets, not ghosts. Arcane Camisado rewards letting them work.
Alternative if…
- Star Chart only → First Silk
- This is too much Forma / cost → Toxin Platform — Steel Path

Your note, in this browser. Separate from Codex verification — the stamp on the card is editorial, this is yours.

Investment: 4 Forma · Reactor · 2 shards · 5 specialised mods. Typical farm ~4–6 hours. Trade if a route is vaulted.
Codex Checked · Compared against current game data for this update. · Update 43.5 · 5 Sept 2026 · PC · Current
Medium confidence. A solid recommendation with more situational dependencies. Confidence is not verification. Verification is separate: Codex Checked against Update 43.5.
Your next step
Next: Toxin Platform — Endgame
Unlock Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts before this upgrade is honest.

Tonight
What is actually up

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.

Let them work
Camisado stacks on their hits. Recasting 3 resets your patience, not their damage.
Common mistakes

Pets need time. Web is the panic. Brood is the nest.
