THE COMBAT LOOP

  1. Throw Shatter Grenade to build a crystal bunker.
  2. Bounce Withering Blades off walls. At 200 Melee stat, they deal +30% damage and instantly freeze targets.
  3. Shatter frozen targets to create Stasis shards. Picking them up grants Frost Armor (damage reduction).
  4. Fire Dragon's Breath at major choke points to melt anything you didn't freeze.
