Abilities
Passive: Styanax's critical chance increases with his shields and doubles for spearguns.
💡 Released with Update 43 (Jade Shadows: Constellations) alongside Afentis Prime and Athodai Prime. His 3 restores squad shields and energy on every cast, his 2 with its augment is a big crit buff, and his passive doubles with a speargun (Afentis, Ferrox). Level-cap rotation tested by Pandaahh (Void Cascade): Roar as Helminth on the 1 (the native ability does little once the 3 and 4 are running), Tharros Lethality — the 2's augment — for big crit damage, and Intrepid Stand — the 4's augment — to hand the whole squad Overguard on every hit. Recommended companion: a Huras (invisibility + Assassin Posture, prioritizes Overguard targets) paired with a Paris Prime to boost its claws, or a Nautilus to group targets for the 4. Secondary: the Grimoire built Viral + Magnetic as a top-up.
