Yareli — Snare Garden
Steel Path build. Sea Snares are five seeking globes that lock and amplify damage. Range so they find people. You are a CC caster who also rides.

Why this build?
Steel Path for Defense, Interception, people who want the room stuck
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- Snares are a damage amp, not just CC. The squad's Torid loves you.
- Range is how they find people. Tiny Snares are five puddles at your feet.
- This is the support CC config. Take blades or riptide to actually kill.
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: Damage amp — Snares make victims take more damage from everything — your secondary, your blades, your squad. A primer is optional. The amp is the point.
Alternative if…
- Star Chart only → First Surf
- This is too much Forma / cost → First Surf — Star Chart

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