Styanax — Rally Battery
Steel Path build. Rally Point is squad energy plus shields on kill. Duration so it never drops. You are the reason the caster never runs dry.

Why this build?
Steel Path for Long Survival, Disruption, friends on Blind Rage, the 'I brought Styanax to babysit energy' role
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- Rally Point is one of the best energy auras that is not Zenurik. Cast it.
- Narrow Minded is ugly on the strip number. This is not the strip config.
- Kills feed squad shields. A support Styanax who never shoots is a worse Trinity.
Don’t use this for: solo level-cap
Stronger mods, Arcanes, real synergy
You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.
Bring: Support guns — You still kill — kills are shield orbs for the cell. A comfortable primary. You are not hiding in spawn.
Alternative if…
- Star Chart only → First Spear
- This is too much Forma / cost → First Spear — Star Chart

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

Common mistakes
Building this like the rain config
You shrunk Rally to fatten 4. Pick a lane.
