Styanax — First Spear
Star Chart build. Rally Point on. Tharros Strike the pack (armor falls, you heal). Final Stand is a javelin rain — learn it on Star Chart, not on level cap. Primed Continuity and Primed Flow are the first real upgrade — not Blind Rage.

Junctions through the Outer Terminus. Steel Path is the next card, not this one.
Wrong drop or mechanic?
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.
- Rally Point is the battery. Final Stand is the toy. Tharros is how armor dies.
- You do not need Intrepid Stand yet. Learn 3 then 2 then 4.
- The passive cares about your shield number. Do not dump Redirection for no reason.
Don’t use this for: Steel Path endurance · level-cap content · solo level-cap
Accessible mods and a working energy / survivability loop
Bring: Speargun optional — His passive doubles critical chance for spearguns (Afentis is the signature). Any gun works while you learn 2 and 4.

Experimental. Interesting interaction — less proven or more demanding. Not the same as untested. Verification is separate: Codex Checked against Update 43.5.

Spear loop
Pocket card. Stick this on a second screen; the long version is the mission below.
- 1Rally Point (3) as you load in. Energy ticks. Kills refill shields for the cell. Recast when the icon dies.
- 2Tharros Strike (2) a clump — they stagger, armor and shields peel, you heal per target.
- 3Axios Javelin (1) into a wall if you want a cheap pull. Starter can treat it as a toy.
- 4Final Stand (4) when you see a packed tile. You hover and rain javelins. Direct hits hurt more than the puddles.
First mission — press these buttons
- 1
Rally as you walk in
3Buff icon. Energy ticks. You taunt — they look at you.

4Hover, rain, land. Direct hits on heavies.
Common mistakes
4 before 2 on Bombards
You massaged them. Peel first.

Shield regen. Skip until it drops. Rally Point already feeds shields on kill. Skip until you have it — Star Chart does not need Eidolon arcanes.
Strength
~145% (Intensify) — Tharros strip and Final Stand damage
Duration
155% (Continuity) so Rally Point stays
Range
145% (Stretch)
Rally Point is energy plus shields on kill. Cast it first. You are a shield frame — 825 base shields is the joke.
