CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE

How to play this build.

Tenno. This Rhino survives on the i-frames around Iron Skin, not its health value: 3s of absorb invulnerability on cast, plus 0.5s overguard and 1.33s shield-gate i-frames on break, is 5 to 8s per cast. Add Stomp's map-wide stun and Reinforcing Stomp topping Iron Skin up, and you recast maybe once a minute. Keep Roar or Nourish going for the weapon.

How it works

Iron Skin's i-frames (absorb + overguard + shield gate) total 5 to 8s, and if you absorb a strong hit (a Jade Eximus) you can bank hundreds of millions of Iron Skin, refreshed by Reinforcing Stomp.

Stomp's high base range locks the room.

High Strength is for Roar or Nourish, not Iron Skin's value here.

Playstyle

Cast Iron Skin, keep Roar or Nourish up, spam Stomp for the lock and the Iron Skin top-up, recast Iron Skin when you get hit through the lock.

Helminth

Nourish (energy plus weapon viral) or Roar (weapon damage, status double-dip).

Shock with Shock Trooper for an electric add.

Weapon synergy

Status weapons for Roar's double-dip: Torid Incarnon, Kuva Nukor, influence melees.

Staying alive

The Iron Skin i-frame stack plus Stomp crowd control.

It can ignore toxin if you time recasts well.

It fails only if hit repeatedly through the Stomp lock with Iron Skin down.

Where it struggles

Very forma-hungry.

Does no damage itself.

Bosses.

Variants

The Bulwark (#058) and The Immovable (#016) are the Iron Skin- value tanks.

Strengths and weaknesses

Strong: survives to level cap on i-frames alone, strong lock, strong weapon buff.

Weak: 7 forma plus Umbral, weapon-carried, boss- blind.

Who runs this

Players who want an endurance Rhino that tanks on invulnerability windows rather than a health number.
