CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE

How to play this build.

Tenno. Molecular Prime at its slowest, Silence over Null Star for a room-wide stagger and finisher opener, and a Fast Deflection plus Vigilante Vigor shield gate. Precise numbers matter here.

How it works

Molecular Prime's slow is strongest at 150% Strength, so rank-3 Overextended plus Precision Intensify is deliberately set to land exactly there.

Silence (Helminth) staggers every enemy entering range and opens finishers.

Fast Deflection plus Vigilante Vigor and Nova's shields hold a consistent gate.

Helminth

Silence over Null Star.

Where it struggles

Damage comes entirely from the weapon and the 4 blast.

Positioning matters for the gate.

Variants

Molecular Tide (#029) is the standard Slowva.

Who runs this

Players who want max slow plus a passive stagger for defense objectives.
