ABILITIES
Sirius and OrionPASSIVE Swapping between Sirius and Orion grants 45% Ability Efficiency for the next 2 casts. When below 50 energy, they steal energy from each other.
Coronal Ejection
Hurl Sirius' Jade Light infused scythe, dealing Heat damage while collecting any pickups in its path. (HOLD) Swap to Orion and cast Gravitic Slash.
Jade Stars
Sirius conjures Jade Light motes that slowly regenerate over time. Attacking enemies launches the motes, dealing Heat damage. (HOLD) Swap to Orion and cast Astral Shell.
Light's Sanctuary
Sirius creates a well of light that heals and revives allies, while reducing incoming damage. The well slowly grows in size and power. (HOLD) Swap to Orion and cast Event Horizon.
Celestial Clash
Sirius and Orion take to the skies in a cosmic clash. Each attack consumes a Constellation Star to inflict colossal Blast damage. Match the star color for increased Critical Chance.
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.

Gravitic Slash
Repel enemies with Orion's scythe, dealing Slash damage while reducing shields and armor. (HOLD) Swap to Sirius and cast Coronal Ejection.
Astral Shell
Envelop Orion in an Astral Shell. Upon taking damage the shell becomes a decoy that draws fire until it is destroyed. (HOLD) Swap to Sirius and cast Jade Stars.
Event Horizon
Orion forms a drifting black hole, trapping enemies within its gravity. Hitting the black hole with Gravitic Slash or Coronal Ejection extends its duration and changes its trajectory.
Celestial Clash
Sirius and Orion take to the skies in a cosmic clash. Each attack consumes a Constellation Star to inflict colossal Blast damage. Match the star color for increased Critical Chance.
