CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE

How to play this build.

Tenno. Bladestorm's true-damage component bypasses armour, and this build stacks the multipliers that feed it: Covert Lethality, Finishing Touch, Condition Overload and Melee Crescendo, so one mark deletes a level-cap enemy.

The mods

Elemental damage bonuses (Primed Fever Strike, Melee Exposure) do not touch Bladestorm's armour-bypassing true damage; they only add attenuated bonus damage, full against unarmoured targets and overguard.

Covert Lethality plus Finishing Touch drive the finisher damage; Condition Overload multiplies per status; Melee Crescendo stacks on kills.

Where it struggles

Ash-locked.

Bladestorm marking rhythm.

Armoured targets get less from the elemental component.

Who runs this

Ash players who want Bladestorm to one-shot level cap.
