CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE

How to play this build.

Tenno. Acid Shells makes a killed enemy explode for a share of its health, chaining across the pack. It is weak alone in Steel Path, so this pairs it with Saryn's Toxic Lash plus Roar or a full Spores strip to force the one-shots.

How it works

Acid Shells scales with the target's max health and detonates corrosive-blast in an area, so it needs a full armour strip to matter.

It also ignores Steel Path modifiers and scales off non-Steel-Path health, making it about 2.5x weaker than it reads.

Saryn's Toxic Lash plus Roar or Spores strip bridge that gap for guaranteed Thrax kills.

Where it struggles

Locked to Saryn.

Falls apart without the strip.

Bad on single unarmoured targets.

Variants

The Demon Shell (#228) is the Uriel heat version; The Napalm Lob (#231) uses Ogris with Roar Saryn.

Who runs this

Cascade duos with a Saryn stripping for the Sobek.
