ABILITIES
StyanaxPASSIVE Styanax's critical chance increases with his shields and doubles for spearguns.
Axios Javelin
Throw an Axios Javelin. When the javelin impales an enemy against a wall, surrounding enemies are pulled into the area and suffer a burst of damage.
Tharros Strike
Summon Tharros, the shield of Styanax. Swing Tharros to repel enemies and reduce their shields and armor. Styanax regenerates health for every enemy struck.
Rally Point
Draw enemy attention to Styanax. His resolve uplifts him and nearby allies, regenerating the squad's energy over time. Styanax and his allies also regenerate shields for every kill assist they contribute.
Final Stand
Exude might and valor. Rise into the air and throw a barrage of Axios Javelins. The javelins deal damage to nearby enemies wherever they land. Direct hits to enemies deal greater damage.
CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE
How to play this build.
Tenno. Base Styanax with Nourish for viral and energy, Axios Javelineers for a passive damage pulse, and Brief Respite plus Primed Sure Footed for a shield gate you never lose. The gun carries.
How it works
Cast an ability, Brief Respite refills shields from the energy spent, and the 1.3-second shield gate resets.
Nourish (Helminth) covers viral on the weapon and an energy return.
Axios Javelineers adds a background damage tick so trash melts while you focus priority targets.
Helminth
Nourish over the fourth ability slot.
Where it struggles
Does nothing without a strong gun.
No hard armour strip beyond Tharros.
Variants
The Iron Volley (#046) and The Bristling Volley (#076) are the ability-damage Styanax builds.
Who runs this
Players who want Styanax as a durable trigger for an Incarnon.
