Star Chart, first Voruna, learning tap vs hold
Wrong drop or mechanic?
Why this build?
Starter for Star Chart, first Voruna, learning tap vs hold
Health: Inventory unknown — Mark what you own. Until then this is a recommendation, not a test you failed.
- Tap is the active. Hold parks that wolf as a passive (Dynar stealth bonuses, Raksh status resist, Lycath heavy efficiency, Ulfrun cheat-death). Learn tap first.
- Voruna is a melee wolf. If you only shoot, Hunt does half its job.
- You have 455 health. Invisibility is still the opener.
Don’t use this for: Steel Path endurance · level-cap content · open combat endurance · open-world / Eidolons
0 Forma, basic mods, no Helminth or shards required
You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.
Bring: Any melee — A slash melee is enough. Lycath's Hunt wants melee kills for health orbs. Guns can wait.
Alternative if…
- You wanted open combat, not stealth → Raksh Primer

High confidence. How strongly the Codex recommends this for its stated purpose — not a test log. Verification is separate: Codex Checked against Update 43.5.

Tonight
What is actually up
30 minutes, one hour, or two — matched to this loadout, not a dump of the Origin System.
30 minutes
Farm Steel Charge
One named gap. Invasion / Nightwave
60 minutes
Steel Charge, then Forma
Finish the missing named card, then spend a Forma if a polarity is still fighting you.
120 minutes
One Archon Hunt
If you are logging off after this, stop at the named component. Do not start a second Forma session tired.

Pack loop
Pocket card. Stick this on a second screen; the long version is the mission below.
- 1Shroud of Dynar (1) into a room. You are invisible and faster until you attack.
- 2Fangs of Raksh (2) a heavy. Five random statuses at 10 stacks. The corpse spreads them.
- 3Lycath's Hunt (3) before you melee. Kills drop health orbs. Headshots drop energy orbs.
- 4Ulfrun's Descent (4) only if a pack is already status'd. Starter can live on 1-2-3.
First mission — press these buttons
- 1
Shroud into the room
1Tap 1. You vanish and run faster. The first attack breaks it and starts a melee window.
You will know it worked when: See-through wolf. Enemies search last-known.
- 2
Fangs a heavy, then melee
22. Five icons. Hit it. Hunt (3) if you want orbs.
Common mistakes
Ulfrun with no statuses
It still hits. It hits harder after Fangs. Press 2 first.
When this feels easy
- 1EquilibriumHunt orbs become energy. Next farm config.
- 2Stop holding every abilityOne hold, three taps. Not four holds.
