CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE
How to play this build.
Tenno. Vortex ragdolls a pack, Pyrotechnics (Helminth) hits each ragdolling body several times to clear them fast, and Flechette orbs take over once Pyrotechnics falls off past level 500 to 1000.
How it works
Pyrotechnics deals repeated hits to any enemy being ragdolled, so grouping with Vortex lets it clear packs quicker than Flechette can early on.
Its heat procs feed Arcane Hot Shot, which pushes Flechette crit chance to 200%.
Run Huras or Shade for the invisibility that turns on Arcane Crepuscular, setting Flechette cooldown to a fifth.
Naramon Lethal Levitation adds a 3x multiplier to both Pyrotechnics and Flechette.
Helminth
Pyrotechnics over Tesla Nervos.
Where it struggles
Pyrotechnics scaling ends in the high hundreds; past that it is a pure Flechette build.
Setup-heavy.
Variants
Scaling Ordnance (#037) is the standard Flechette camp; The Restless Grid (#151) is the Photon Strike spam.
Who runs this
Vauban players who like the Vortex-plus-Pyrotechnics combo for mid-level Steel Path.
