CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE

How to play this build.

Tenno. This duo splits roles: Orion runs maximum range for the armour-strip and grouping abilities, Sirius runs maximum duration and strength as a pure buff. You mostly pilot Orion.

How it works

On Orion: spam the first ability everywhere to strip armour, keep the second active for free damage negation, and use the third sparingly for grouping (it carries enemies away and blocks headshots, so many players skip it).

Sirius sits on the buff profile and keeps the damage multiplier and duration up for the squad.

Helminth

Per the linked pair build; the buffer half leans on Roar.

Where it struggles

Managing two frames is a learning curve.

Grouping ability fights your Incarnon aim.

Variants

The Divided Star (#071) is the other split-role take on this pair.

Who runs this

Duo-frame players who want a dedicated strip-and-buff engine.
