Reinforce
Deal bonus damage to incapacitated enemies — Bastille floaters, Tesla victims, Tether pins. If they cannot walk, shoot them. The passive is why the cage is also damage.
Tesla Nervos
25 per rollerDeploy up to a handful of Nervos. They chase, attach, and shock the area. Duration is lifetime. Tesla Bank (augment) stores damage and explodes it when the roller dies. Common Helminth slot on Photon configs.

Minelayer
50Two gadgets on one key. Tap throws a tether orb that immobilizes and fires flechettes. Hold throws a Vector pad that accelerates anyone who touches it and buffs ally movement and weapon damage. Speedrun toy. Often ignored, still real.
- Tap
- Tether-Flechette
- Hold
- Vector-Overdrive pad
Photon Strike
75The nuke. Throw a targeting beacon, wait a beat, laser. Overguard takes double. Photon Repeater lets you fire extra strikes through an existing beacon instead of throwing a new one. Bastille the pack first so they cannot walk out.

- Overguard
- Double damage
- Repeater
- Recast on same beacon
Bastille
100The identity. Tap erects a cage that suspends enemies and steals their armor for you and allies inside. Hold collapses every active Bastille into a single vortex. Repelling Bastille caps how many get in on tap. Range is everything.

- Lift + armor strip/steal
- Hold
- Vortex collapse
- Passive
- Bonus damage on the floaters
