ABILITIES

Grendel Prime

PASSIVE Each enemy consumed grants 250 bonus armor.

1

Feast

Feast

Swallow enemies whole and store them in Grendel's gut. Hold to vomit out stored enemies, covering them in toxic bile.

2

Nourish

Nourish

Regenerate health as Grendel absorbs nourishment from enemies in his gut. While he digests, enemies that attack or are attacked by Grendel suffer Viral Damage and energy sources provide more energy. These buffs extend to squad mates.

3

Pulverize

Pulverize

Grendel curls into a ball. He heals over time as he rolls, knocking over anyone in his path. Jumping slams Grendel into the ground and generates a damaging shockwave.

4

Regurgitate

Regurgitate

Violently puke out a bile soaked enemy from Grendel's gut, turning the consumed into a toxic projectile. Nearby enemies are slowed and have their armor dissolved by the bile.

CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE

How to play this build.

Tenno. Swallow a pack with Feast, then Breach Surge (Helminth) blinds and chains sparks off every hit for a room clear. Grendel's belly is the tank.

How it works

Feast holds enemies inside Grendel, where Gastro and the toxin from Archon Continuity chew them down while feeding energy.

Breach Surge blinds the room and, on each subsequent hit, fires sparks that scale off the damage dealt, which the swallowed-enemy damage triggers repeatedly for a chain nuke.

Helminth

Breach Surge over Nourish.

Where it struggles

Setup takes a Feast cast.

Toxin-immune enemies slow it down.

Variants

The Devouring Maw (#053) is the Pulverize DPS Grendel; The Iron Gut (#180) is the persistence tank platform.

Who runs this

Grendel players who want an ability room-clear without rolling around as a ball.
