Sevagoth — First Gloom
Star Chart build. Gloom is a slow aura that heals you when you shoot people inside it. Learn the drain before you touch the Shadow. Primed Continuity and Primed Flow are the first real upgrade — not Blind Rage.

Why this build?
Star Chart for Junctions through the Outer Terminus. Steel Path is the next card, not this one.
Health: Inventory unknown — Mark what you own. Until then this is a recommendation, not a test you failed.
- Gloom is Sevagoth. The slow plus lifesteal is why other frames steal this ability.
- Sow and Reap are the nuke later. Today they are extra damage while you learn the circle.
- The Shadow waits. Empty exalted grids are a Sevagoth tradition you should skip.
Don’t use this for: Steel Path endurance · level-cap content · frames played as a gun platform only · solo level-cap
Accessible mods and a working energy / survivability loop
Bring: Any gun — Gloom's lifesteal works on weapon hits. A cheap rifle is enough. Do not open the Shadow grid yet.

One named gap. Open Nightwave

Finish the missing named card, then spend a Forma if a polarity is still fighting you.

Gloom loop
Pocket card. Stick this on a second screen; the long version is the mission below.
- 1Gloom (3). A dark circle. Enemies inside crawl. You heal when you damage them.
- 2Sow (2) the pack so they cook. Reap (1) to send the Shadow through and detonate ripe seeds.
- 3Do not press 4 until the Death Well is full and the Shadow melee has mods. An empty Shadow is a costume.
- 4If energy tanks, toggle Gloom off for a second. The drain is per body in range — a packed tile is expensive.
First mission — press these buttons
- 1
Gloom a doorway
3They crawl. Shoot them. Your health comes back.
You will know it worked when: A dark radius. Enemies in molasses.
- 2
Sow, then Reap
2Seeds, then the Shadow flies through and pops them.

Toggle Gloom off if energy tanks
Packed rooms drain faster. That is not a bug.
Common mistakes
Pressing 4 to 'see the Shadow'
Unmodded claws. You will bounce off a Heavy Gunner and blame the frame.
