The Rewinding Barrage

Arcane Sculptor triggers off casting 1 and 2 and locks 175% Efficiency for 12s, so it is always up and energy is a non-issue even at 45% arsenal Efficiency.

Temporal Anchor banks 25% of each damage instance with no cap and releases it in a 35m+ line-of-sight sphere; Temporal Erosion makes casts of 1 and 2 strip armour during the Anchor, working on Acolytes and Demolysts with no big Strength requirement.

Protea's passive gives +100% Strength to every fourth cast, which you want to land on the Anchor cast so it strips 20% per hit.

Invert tap/hold so tapping 1 casts Shield Satellite.

1.

Tap 3 (Dispensary) at mission start and keep one near you.

2.

Tap 1 (Shield Satellite) onto the ground; approach one for shields and a ~5s double gate.

Recast and grab one whenever shields break.

3.

Hold 1 (Shrapnel Vortex) at chokepoints for crowd control and strip contribution.

4.

Tap 2 (Blaze Artillery) toward enemies.

Three at once, short duration, recast often.

5.

Tap 4 (Temporal Anchor) on the 100% passive cast: strip with 2, 2, 2, then either let it expire, tap 4 again to group, or bank damage and tap 4 to nuke, then rewind.

Duration lengthens Blaze Artillery so it ramps higher; 200%+ with shards.

Efficiency solved by Sculptor.

Range for Shrapnel Vortex, the implosion and nuke radius, and Blaze Artillery's already-long reach.

Strength is modest because the passive doubles it every fourth cast; Growing Power plus Molt Augmented plus passive reaches about 225%.

Blind Rage is the Strength, covered by Arcane Sculptor.

Overextended is the Range.

Primed Continuity is the Blaze Artillery Duration.

Primed Flow, Equilibrium are the energy base.

Temporal Erosion is the strip.

Temporal Artillery is turret damage.

Rank 0 Archon Vitality is a ~30% Blaze Artillery DPS bump via doubled heat procs.

Do not run Augur mods; they overwrite the Shield Satellite gate.

Blind Rage to Constitution or Nira's Hatred for Duration.

Archon Vitality to Umbral Intensify for Strength.

The aura and exilus are open.

Pick one.

Subsume over Dispensary (if you run external energy) or Temporal Anchor (if you dislike the rewind).

- A grouping ability (Larva ideal, then Coil Horizon, Airburst, Ensnare, Pull) to ramp Blaze Artillery faster.

- An armour strip (Terrify at 167%, or 137% with Corrosive Projection) if you subsume Temporal Anchor away.

- Roar or Nourish for turret damage or energy and weapon viral.

- Gloom or Breach Surge for crowd-control survival.

Arcane Sculptor for the Efficiency lock, Arcane Concentration for Duration.

Molt Augmented or Arcane Hot Shot as swaps.

Vazarin Sling for i-frames and Void Snare grouping.

Madurai for cast speed and Strength.

A heat-inherit primer (Epitaph, Bubonico, Proboscis Cernos) raises Blaze Artillery DPS if you tag enemies before the turrets do.

Latron Incarnon primes viral and strips.

Any strong weapon feeds the Temporal Anchor bank.

The Shield Satellite double gate plus Temporal Anchor's 3s i-frames and status cleanse plus its extra-life effect.

It fails if you are caught with no satellite down and the gate expired, and to toxin.

Arcane Sculptor's lock.

A non-issue.

The rotation is genuinely complex and the rewind is disorienting.

Blaze Artillery's short duration means constant recasting.

Bosses need the banked-damage nuke or the weapon.

A semi-AFK Mecha Roar build.

Strong: strong ramping turret damage, a flexible strip that hits everything, a scaling banked nuke, a long shield gate.

Weak: high complexity, constant turret upkeep, rewind nausea.

Players who want a busy, high-ceiling turret frame with a strip and a panic-proof gate.
