Wisp — First Motes
Star Chart build. Hold 1 to pick Haste, Health, or Shock. Tap 1 to plant a Reservoir. Grab the mote. Stay in the air and you are invisible. Primed Continuity and Primed Flow are the first real upgrade — not Blind Rage.

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.
- Wisp is motes. If you plant nothing, you are a squishy teleport.
- Passive invis in the air is free. Jump more than you think.
- Fused Reservoir can wait. Three taps is fine on day one.
Don’t use this for: Steel Path endurance · level-cap content · open combat endurance · open-world / Eidolons · solo level-cap
Accessible mods and a working energy / survivability loop
Bring: Any gun — Haste mote is fire rate and attack speed. Your starter rifle becomes a different gun. Shock stun is free CC.
Alternative if…
- You wanted open combat, not stealth → Roar Wisp

Mote loop
Pocket card. Stick this on a second screen; the long version is the mission below.
- 1Hold Reservoirs (1) to cycle Haste (yellow), Vitality (red), Shock (blue). Plant all three at the objective.
- 2Walk through them. Motes sit on you and allies. Recast when they fade.
- 3Wil-O-Wisp (2) is a decoy. Reactivate to teleport to it. Airborne = invisible (passive).
- 4Breach Surge (3) later. Sol Gate (4) later. Starter is motes.
First mission — press these buttons
- 1
Plant all three Reservoirs
1Hold 1 to cycle. Tap 1 three times at the objective. Walk through them. Motes sit on your shoulder.
You will know it worked when: Yellow, red, and blue pads. Buff icons on you.
- 2
Jump and stay up
Airborne = invisible. Shoot from a jump. Feet on the floor = visible.
Common mistakes
Planting one mote and leaving
Haste without Health is a glass cannon. Health without Haste is a slow tank. Plant all three.
When this feels easy
- 1Fused ReservoirOne tap, three pads. Support config.
