Hildryn PrimePASSIVE Hildryn's full Shield Gate is high. After her Shields are depleted, she is invulnerable to damage up to 3.5s.
Balefire
Charge and launch devastating bolts of electricity.
Pillage
Pillage a percentage of Shields and Armor of nearby enemies to replenish Hildryn's own Shields and Overshields. Also removes Status Effects from Hildryn and her allies.
Haven
Create a shield aura around allies. Enemies that approach shielded allies will take damage.
Aegis Storm
Take the skies and rain Balefire rockets down on the enemy. Nearby enemies are blasted into the air where they will create an Energy Orb every few seconds. When shields run out the enemies are smashed into the ground.
CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE
How to play this build.
Tenno. This is the Aegis Gale build with Molt subsumed for movement speed inside Aegis Storm, and Arcane Sculptor to lock efficiency so the drain barely matters. Spam Balefire alt-fire, spam Pillage, float around fast.
How it works
Same core as Storm of Shields: everything costs shields, Aegis Gale's alt-fire nukes with real area, and Pillage refuels you off stripped enemies.
The difference is Molt subsumed over 3 for movement speed inside Aegis Storm, and Arcane Sculptor triggering off Molt to lock 175% Efficiency for 12s, so entering Aegis Storm within that window snapshots the low drain.
Primed Fulmination plus Range multiply Balefire's radius to ~11.5m.
Playstyle
Enter Aegis Gale and spam alt-fire; spam Pillage to refuel and strip; spam Molt to move fast and keep the Sculptor lock.
The mods
Blind Rage, Umbral Intensify are the Strength.
Primed Continuity holds Duration.
Overextended, Stretch, Augur Reach set the wide Range.
Primed Redirection deepens the shield pool.
Aegis Gale is the nuke.
Corrosive Projection keeps a partial strip so Pillage still returns shields.
Helminth
Molt over Pillage's slot (her 3) for the speed and the Arcane Sculptor trigger.
Arcanes
Arcane Velocity for Balefire fire rate, Arcane Sculptor for the Efficiency lock.
Focus
Vazarin Sling for i-frames.
Madurai for cast speed and Strength.
Staying alive
The shield pool plus Hildryn's 3s passive i-frames plus Pillage refuel.
It fails to toxin and to a single hit exceeding the whole pool in deep endurance.
Where it struggles
Toxin.
Very deep endurance.
Everything else as The Aegis Gale.
Variants
Storm of Shields (#010) is the general-use build with Pillage kept.
Strengths and weaknesses
Strong: a spammable area nuke with no energy management, mobile inside Aegis Storm, tanky.
Weak: toxin-vulnerable, endurance ceiling, weapon-light.
Who runs this
Players who want the Aegis Gale nuke but faster and with the drain solved.

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.
