Charges, then everything else

Convert an enemy. Thralls attack their former friends and can spread the thrall. On death they become a damaging pillar. Overguard resists. Mesmer-stunned enemies can be Enthralled for free. Thrall Pact (augment) buffs your weapons per nearby thrall. Default dump slot on gun platforms — Roar or Eclipse lives here.

Thralls convert by dealing damage

Default dump on gun configs

A Sentient shroud. Charges (6 at 100% Strength, Strength-scaled, rounded up) eat incoming hits. The attacker takes the damage back and is stunned (Duration-scaled). Each spent charge also gives a 1-second invuln window. The Skin lasts until charges are gone — no duration timer on the buff itself. Mesmer Shield (augment) extra Strength on the cast and shares charges with allies in Affinity Range. Recast at 2 charges. Recast at 0 is a death.

Timer

None — until charges empty

A dash that steals a percentage of health and shields from enemies you pass through, more from thralls. Strength scales the leech. Range is the size of the wall. Blinding Reave (augment) blinds victims. Panic heal if Mesmer ever drops, and a real rotation on the dash config.

Thralls

Fatter steal

Eruption of Eidolon beams that sweep around Revenant. Damage type shifts toward what the target is weak to. Incoming damage feeds the beams. Hold fire for more damage and status at a higher drain. Thralls killed drop overshield pickups. You cannot recast Mesmer during the dance — leave 4 before charges hit zero. Fun. Usually worse than a real gun in 2026.
