Abilities
Passive: Hildryn's full Shield Gate is high. After her Shields are depleted, she is invulnerable to damage up to 3.5s.
💡 "The game's biggest serial killer in 2026" per Pandaahh, who cleared a level-9999 Void Cascade cap with her: stay in your 4 permanently, spam the 2 (Pillage) — it strips enemy defenses AND refills your shields —, and with the 4's augment, only use the Balefire Chargers' secondary fire (huge salvo, explosion scales with range). They count as a secondary: Amalgam Furax Body Count (Ropalolyst) provides the fire rate. Full raw damage (5% base crit: ignore it), Xata's Whisper (Helminth) as the buffer, Arcane Expertise to convert strength into shields (otherwise blue Archon shards), move in Operator form (she's slow) — and on a fissure buff, toggle the 4 off/on for +300% strength. Live results: 96 arcanes and 151 Steel Essence in 1h35.
