Endgame build. Roar over Sirius 3 (Sanctuary) — 75% DR you should never need. Buff on the ground. Then Clash. You cannot cast Roar in the sky.

First Swap first
This loadout sits at Endgame. 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 SwapWhy this build?
Endgame for Steel Path Clash mains who want the faction multiplier, squad play
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- This is the Helminth config the kit was designed around: Roar cannot be used in Clash, so the buff is a pre-cast.
- You sold the 1 of both brothers. Do not queue this config if you wanted scythe or gravity slash.
- Narrow Minded is a Roar mod here, not a Clash mod.
Don’t use this for: Star Chart only · new accounts · players without Helminth
Specialised investment for hard content
You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.
Bring: Clash still spends stars — You sold the scythe and the gravity slash. Stars now come from 2 and 3 (both identities). Mix Jade Stars / Astral Shell / Sanctuary / Horizon so colors don't streak.
Alternative if…
- You don’t have Helminth yet → First Swap
- Star Chart only → First Swap
- New account or low investment → First Swap
- This is too much Forma / cost → Celestial Clash — Optimised

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