CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE
How to play this build.
Tenno. With the Aegis Gale augment, Balefire becomes a spammable area alt-fire. This build stacks raw damage and status so each blast erases a crowd, powered by Hildryn's shields instead of ammo.
The mods
Hornet Strike is the mandatory 220% base damage; do not use Galvanized Shot, Balefire is 100% area and does not benefit.
Primed Fulmination widens the blast; Primed Heated Charge plus Primed Convulsion build the element.
Secondary Enervate adds roughly a flat 80% crit chance for yellow and orange crits.
Elements
Corrosive-heat for general use, viral-electric for Corrupted and Murmur, magnetic-toxin or heat for Corpus.
Where it struggles
Hildryn-locked.
Slow charge on the alt-fire.
Variants
Storm of Shields (#010) and The Drifting Bastion (#078) are the Hildryn frame builds this pairs with.
Who runs this
Hildryn players who want the exalted pistol as their nuke.
