CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE

How to play this build.

Tenno. Same exalted claws, tuned for electric and Melee Influence instead of raw crit. Hysteria keeps you alive while the influence chain clears the room.

The mods

Galvanized Elementalist plus Shocking Touch plus Voltaic Strike build electric for Melee Influence; Blood Rush plus Weeping Wounds scale with combo; Galvanized Steel is the crit numbers; Condition Overload multiplies per status.

Voltaic Strike is flexible for Primed Smite.

Where it struggles

Valkyr-locked.

Influence wants a primed crowd.

Variants

The Feral Claws (#305) is the raw red-crit Talons build.

Who runs this

Valkyr players who want Hysteria to nuke crowds.
