Voruna — Ulfrun's Pack
Steel Path build. Five charge dashes that lock on. Lethal hits double remaining charges. Status'd targets take more. This is 2026 Voruna. This is the peak you can run the day Steel Path unlocks — galvanized / arcanes, no Helminth.

Steel Path Star Chart, Circuit, first Archon. Helminth is the next card.
Wrong drop or mechanic?
Why this build?
Steel Path for Steel Path Star Chart, Circuit, first Archon. Helminth is the next card.
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- Ulfrun is the identity, not an afterthought. The dashes are the nuke.
- Fangs first is not optional at high levels. Status multiplies Ulfrun.
- Hold-4 parks Ulfrun as a cheat-death passive instead. That is a different play — this config taps 4.
Don’t use this for: Star Chart only · loadouts that need Helminth
Stronger mods, Arcanes, real synergy
You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.
Bring: Melee still on — Ulfrun is ability dashes, not an exalted melee. Keep a real melee for Hunt orbs and Rage-adjacent uptime. A status melee extends Hunt.
Alternative if…
- Star Chart only → First Pack
- This is too much Forma / cost → First Pack — Star Chart

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

- 1Fangs (2) the pack so they are status-soaked. Ulfrun deals more to those.
- 2Shroud (1) if you want Crepuscular on the first leap.
- 3Ulfrun (4). Five lock-on charges. Lethal hits double what is left — start on a weak one if the room is mixed.
- 4Hunt (3) in the downtime so orbs pay for the next 4.

Fangs the clump

Ulfrun, lethal first if you can
44. Five charges. Killing doubles what is left — do not open on the tank.
You will know it worked when: Wolf dashes. Numbers that jump after the first kill.
Common mistakes
Holding 4 by accident
