How to play this build.
Tenno. Panzer Vulpaphyla is the default companion for any status build: Viral Quills spreads area viral, Martyr Symbiosis sacrifices the pet to save you, and the Bond mods layer on crit, fire rate and orbs.
Mandatory mods
Viral Quills spreads area viral procs and minor damage; Martyr Symbiosis revives you by sacrificing the pet; Panzer Devolution (or Momentous Bond) keeps the pet from staying dead.
Reinforced Bond and Tenacious Bond give squad fire rate and crit.
Synth Deconstruct drops health orbs and adds a damage-vulnerability debuff.
Where it struggles
The pet's own damage is minor; it is a support unit.
Devolution downtime.
Variants
The Fox Claws (#381) is a Panzer built as a pure DPS pet.
Who runs this
Almost every status build wants this companion.
