CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE

How to play this build.

Tenno. Voruna's Dynar leap breaks stealth on the first hit; this Praedos build pairs that with Melee Afflictions to seed lingering status zones, extended by Lasting Sting, that clear the pack.

The mods

Melee Afflictions multiplies the status damage-over-time into zones; Lasting Sting extends them; Galvanized Reflex holds combo for the heavy multiplier; Melee Elementalist is a status-damage multiplier; Volcanic Edge plus Primed Fever Strike build heat and toxin.

Where it struggles

Best on Voruna.

Zone-seeding takes a few hits.

Short base reach.

Variants

The Void Cadence (#300) is the hybrid crit Praedos; The Permanent Void (#331) is the heavy-slam acolyte killer.

Who runs this

Voruna players who want a burn-everything melee.
