The Eye of the Storm

Tornado's pull and damage radius is locked at 10m regardless of Range; three stationary tornadoes make a ~20m overlapping cluster.

Range instead boosts Airburst to ~20m so you can pull enemies from 40m+ into the cluster, and boosts Turbulence coverage.

An AoE crit weapon hitting all three tornadoes and the enemy inside is roughly a 19x multiplier, or up to 67x with the 11-tornado Funnel Clouds augment.

Strength is dumped because it only affects the frame's own tornado damage, not the redistributed weapon damage.

1.

Keep Turbulence up on cooldown; stand it over defense objects.

2.

Hold 4 for three stationary tornadoes, tap 4 for three homing ones.

3.

Jump and hold 1 to hover for a +150% additive crit bonus and to stay off the ground.

4.

Tap 2 (Airburst) near a tornado's edge to vacuum enemies in.

5.

Shoot the tornadoes with an electric or gas weapon.

Duration for comfortable Turbulence uptime and faster Tailwind; Tornado's base is long and Airburst ignores it.

Efficiency from Streamline plus Primed Flow plus Equilibrium plus Archon Stretch.

Range for Airburst and Turbulence, not Tornado.

Strength is irrelevant and floored.

Narrow Minded, Primed Continuity are the Duration.

Overextended, Archon Stretch, Augur Reach set the Range, with Archon Stretch feeding passive energy off electric weapons in the tornadoes and Augur Reach feeding the gate.

Streamline is Efficiency.

Primed Flow, Equilibrium are the energy base.

Brief Respite aura is backup gating.

Funnel Clouds over Augur Message for AoE and high-spread weapons (11 tornadoes, up to 67x).

Natural Talent if you skip cast-speed shards.

Rolling Guard for the vulnerable window between Turbulence recasts.

Target Fixation for a Tailwind-slam meme.

Pick one.

Subsume over Tailwind or Airburst.

- Silence to stop Violence dispelling Turbulence and to block Eximus abilities.

- Tempest Barrage for a corrosive-and-viral zone that tornadoes multiply up to ~34x.

- Nourish for low-Strength viral on weapons without overweighting status.

- Spectrorage with Spectrosiphon for squad energy if you lack Arcane Energize.

Arcane Concentration for the Duration spread, Arcane Circumvent for a roll-strip that pairs with grouping.

Molt Efficiency or Aegis as swaps.

Unairu for a full armour and shield strip on a grouped tornado cluster, which is exactly what electric and gas want at high levels.

Madurai for cast speed.

Zenurik for energy.

AoE and high-spread weapons that hit multiple tornadoes at once: Trumna, Kuva Zarr, Tenet Arca Plasmor, Bubonico alt-fire.

Electric if the weapon has no innate element, gas or blast if it has heat or toxin.

Galvanized and Condition Overload mods do nothing (tornadoes hold no status), so run flat damage instead.

Turbulence blocks all projectiles; the rest is the ~30s recast window covered by Rolling Guard and Brief Respite.

It fails to melee, AoE and environmental status that bypass Turbulence, and to a Violence dispel (bring Silence).

Primed Flow plus Equilibrium plus Archon Stretch at 130% Efficiency.

Melee enemies ignore Turbulence, so hover.

The recast window is a real vulnerability.

Bosses.

Single-target weapons waste the tornado multiplier.

A zero-forma budget non-Prime build.

A Jet Stream speedrun and open-world build.

Strong: near-total projectile immunity, a huge weapon multiplier, strong grouping and defense, scales to level cap.

Weak: melee- vulnerable, recast gaps, weapon-carried, no Strength scaling.

Players who want a defense and survival frame that ignores gunfire and turns any AoE weapon into a room-clearing nuke.
