Titania — Lantern Light
Steel Path build. Lantern turns an enemy into a lure that explodes when you say so. Beguiling Lantern makes them walk into melee. The room stares at a flashlight.

Why this build?
Steel Path for Defense, Mobile Defense, Interception, people who want the tile to face the wrong way
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- Lantern is a Defense tool. Blitz Titania does not need it. This config does.
- Range is the attract radius. A tiny Lantern is a nightlight.
- Beguiling Lantern is optional. The lure works without it.
Don’t use this for: Capture / short missions · Exterminate speedruns
Stronger mods, Arcanes, real synergy
You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.
Bring: AoE follow-up — They cluster on the lantern. Pixia, a glue gun, or the recast explosion. Beguiling Lantern is the melee-lure augment if you brought a blade.
Alternative if…
- Star Chart only → First Flight
- This is too much Forma / cost → First Flight — Star Chart

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

Who this is for
Play this build from zero
The pod is eating bullets and you want the room to stare at a lamp.
- Time to a playable copy
- After Overextended and a feel for recast-detonate.
- First mission to practice in
- A Defense. Lantern in the lane, not on the pod.

They will stand on the pod. Lane, not payload.
Common mistakes
Forgetting recast explodes
The lure lives until you pop it or the timer dies. Pop it.
