INFO						ANALYSIS
🖼️	Name	Subclass	Class	Fragments	Effect	Description	Rank	Tier
	Feed the Void	Void	W	2	Ability kills grant DevourDevour gives 140 HP on activation, lasts 10-15s, and gives 15-40% grenade and 5-8s duration on kill	only remaining unnerfed Devour source left, also great grenade regen built-in	1	S
	Tempest Strike	Arc	H	2	Bolt Charge on jolted enemy kill22m jolting uppercut on slide melee, 75% DR for 4s after usage	insanely OP DR with Combination Blow	2	S
	Crackshot	Solar	H	2
	Soul Siphon	Void	W	3
	Shieldburst	Solar	T	3
	Controlled Demolition	Void	T	2	Void ability damage and volatile explosions apply volatileVolatile explosions restore 90 HP to allies within 40m of user	probably the strongest sustained chunk healing in the game	3	S
	Winter's Shroud	Stasis	H	2	60 slow stacks to enemies within 9m for 8-12s on dodge+300% class regen for 3s on slow50% DR for 4s on dodge	essentially permanent 50% DR and free Courage application on a non-boss scale	4	S
	Banner of War	Strand	T	2	4 stack buff (sword, melee, glaive melee, finisher, super light)+100% melee, 40% Bladefury, 10% sword damage (20% self)15s base, 24s max, 2.5-1s healing pulse rate based on stacks	only aspect that gives stackable weapon boost, also good sustain and melee damage	5	S
	Ascension	Arc	H	3(2)	Airborne air move consumes class ability (triggers effects) and amplifies allies and jolts enemies within 10m	100% teamwide Amplified uptime while triggering class ability effects	6	S
	Sol Invictus	Solar	T	2	Solar ability kills, scorched kills, and Hammer of Sol impacts make refreshable Sunspots for 12sRestoration x1 for 5-7.5s, 100% grenade/melee regen inside	constant Restoration access, chainable staggering ticks on adds, passive ability regen	7	S
	Knockout	Arc	T	2	50-100 HP, regen start, and Amplified on melee kill+160% melee damage, unpowered conversion, 6m lunge for 6s on shield break or sub 30% target damage	free Amplified and chunk healing on melee kills, universal melee damage boost	8	S
	Weavewalk	Strand	W	2	Air move toggles Weavewalk while airborne, giving 90% DR, perched Threadling every 0.5s, costs 25% melee per second, and disables weapons, abilities, etc., Woven Mail to allies on exit (2-20s)	excellent response strategy for survivability in low power content	9	A
	Consecration	Solar	T	3(2)	Sliding powered melee creates igniting slam on recast25% non-melee DR during animation	has strong intangibles but doesn't have any outstanding special effects	10	A
	Stylish Executioner	Void	H	2	Debuffed kills give invisibility (8-11.2s) and truesight (4s), with invisibility going on cooldown for 2s after wearing offMelees deal +300% damage, weaken for 5s, have more range	invisibility not as high value any more, melee damage bonus is situational	11	A
	Threaded Specter	Strand	H	3	Spawns strand decoy on dodge that attracts attacks, lasts 12s, and explodes and spawns 2 Threadlings on destruction0.6x class regen while equipped	high uptime and deaggro source, very easy to use	12	A
	On Your Mark	Solar	H	3	10 stack buff in 15m for 12s (crit kill/HC crit: 2, dodge: 1, crit: 1)15-45? reload, 5-50 Weapons, 0.95x-0.85x? reload durationCure on kill at 10 stacks	high utility for fireteam damage, provides pseudo-Devour effect	13	A
	Gunpowder Gamble	Solar	H	2(3)	6 stack explosive with 6s ICD that replaces grenade (weapon: 1, ignition/scorch: 3, ability: 4, super: 6)Bigger ignition + submunitions if shot, otherwise detonates 3s after throw	splash damage outlier even though doesn't provide much consistency	14	A
	Storm's Keep	Arc	T	2	Bolt Charge x4 to allies on class ability cast (x6 for thruster)Barricade gives Bolt Charge (no Frequency doubling) over time and allows for weapon discharge at max stacks	free fireteam damage, but very one-dimensional use case	15	A
	Into the Fray	Strand	T	2	3 pulses that give Woven Mail and 15 HP on Tangle destructionWoven Mail to allies on super cast+300% melee regen during Woven Mail	solid survivability with 10s Woven Mail source, great uptime from melee regen	16	A
	Lethal Current	Arc	H	2	Melee hits on jolted enemies apply blindJolting 7m range aftershock melees, double damage light attack on Arc Staff after dodge	Blind application generally not relevant, aftershock damage just okay	17	A
	Lightning Surge	Arc	W	2	Sliding jolting powered melee that grants hit-based Bolt Charge and Amplified, gives %DR for ?s on usage	straightforward splash melee aspect, more risky and less consistent vs. Consecration	18	B
	Roaring Flames	Solar	T	2	3 stack buff for 20s (ability kills and ignitions)20-73% non-melee ability damage (67-200% melee)Unpowered conversion and 30-40 scorch on melee	strong ability damage buff and forgiving timer but not very versatile	19	B
	Touch of Flame	Solar	W	2	Firebolt gets 50% radius and 5 enemies, solar gets 2s duration and magma blobs, fusion gets 2 explosions, and healing gets Cure x2 and Restoration x2 for 4-6s	like Touch of Thunder, damage/Restoration x2 specialist but not as applicable	20	B
	Touch of Thunder	Arc	T	2	Flashbang blinds after first bounce, lightning has 2 charges and jolts on every tick past 1st, pulses make Ionic Traces every 1s and ramp damage, storms roam after detonation	meta for grenade damage, but zero survivability or utility outside buffing grenades	21	B
	Mindspun Invocation	Strand	W	2	Grapple melee makes 3 Threadlings, Threadling consume makes 5 perched Threadlings, shackle consume gives Weaver's Trance for 25s (suspending explosion on kills)	best combination of suspend CC with offense, technically best Threadling spam	22	B
	Iceflare Bolts	Stasis	W	2	Freezing 12m seeker on enemy shatter8s ICD after 7 seekers	insane chain CC spread, not very offensive but great ability efficiency, build-dependent	23	B
	Whirling Maelstrom	Strand	H	2	Spawns tracking vortex upon Tangle destructionVortex unravels targets on kill, triggering Tangle effectsCan be grappled to	pretty solid splash with lingering stagger effects, also QoL with grapple point	24	B
	Hellion	Solar	W	2	Class ability spawns solar turret for 20s3 shot ignition with Ashes, 4 without (no grenade scaling)	high uptime stagger source that takes low CD ability instead of grenade/melee	25	B
	Bleak Watcher	Stasis	W	2	Grenade cooldown changed to glacierCharged grenade deploys stasis turretTurret applies 20 slow on hit and lasts 25-30s	reliable CC option, helps "soften" targets in the way Hellion does	26	B
	Weaver's Call	Strand	W	2	3 Threadlings and perched deployment on class ability castDamage/kill counter that adds perched Threadlings with 2s ICD10% class energy on Threadling hit	passive damage and class regen, very background	27	B
	Flechette Storm	Strand	T	2	Sliding powered melee knocks enemies away, consumes 50% per cast, and launches barrages of unraveling projectiles25% DR against non-melee during animation	ranged but definitely lacking in power compared to other powered melee aspects	28	B
	Ionic Sentry	Arc	W	2	6 stack 15s turret with 6s ICD that replaces grenade (weapon: 1, ability: 2), blinding on impact and chaining lightning at enemies within 16m, granting Bolt Charge stacks on hit	like Bleak Watcher but does damage and synergizes with Arc sandbox	29	B
	Diamond Lance	Stasis	T	3	Spawns 7s ICD lance on stasis or ability killLance can be thrown or slammed, freezing and giving x2 Frost Armor to allies on impact (slam only)	gameplay loop is too slow and non-lethal, but decent Frost Armor source	30	B
	Unbreakable	Void	T	2	Charged grenade makes blinding void shield for 3s with 95% DR, releases response damage upon depletion, makes orbs every 4.5s every 10 damage taken on Sentinel Shield	best get-out-of-jail card in the game, but tied to long CD	31	B
	Vanishing Step	Void	H	2	Dodge animation travels further and gives invisibility for 5-7s	shorter invisibility CD vs. Trapper's with better synergies	32	B
	Ensnaring Slam	Strand	H	2	Suspending dive air move, triggers class ability usage effectsWoven Mail for 4s for each suspended enemy, up to 20s	very consistent Woven Mail source, suspend not as relevant in current sandbox	33	C
	Tectonic Harvest	Stasis	T	2	Small Stasis Shard on crystal or enemy shatterx1-3 Frost Armor and 10-? HP from shard pickup	best of the harvest aspects, but still forces shard gameplay loop	34	C
	Arc Soul	Arc	W	2	Rifts grant allies Arc Souls+40-120% class regen near allies (up to 3)Amplified boosts Arc Soul fire rate by 2.25x	overshadowed by Getaway Artist and damage benefit isn't substantial in full teams	35	C
	Bastion	Void	T	2	45 HP Void Overshield to allies on super cast or barricade castBarricades regen 11 Void Overshield HP/s	best teamwide Void Overshield applicator, but tied to long CD	36	C
	Knock 'em Down	Solar	H	2	Powered melee kills refund if RadiantMarksman Golden Gun is 4s longer, Deadshot Golden Gun gets 15% DR, Blade Barrage gains 3 knives per fan	refunds a variety of melees that aren't very potent	37	C
	Electrostatic Mind	Arc	W	2	Ionic Trace on Arc ability and Arc debuffed killsIonic Traces grant Amplified	good elemental pickup but doesn't affect endgame outside spammability	38	C
	Widow's Silk	Strand	H	2	Grants additional grenade chargeGrapples make grapple points that grant allies grapple ability	consistency pick for Cyrt synergy and grapple point creation	39	C
	Grim Harvest	Stasis	H	3	Stasis debuffed kills spawn Stasis Shard (size based on rank)x1-3 Frost Armor and 10-? HP from shard pickup	core shard spam aspect, but shard gameplay loop isn't very endgame-appealing	40	C
	Howl of the Storm	Stasis	T	2	Additional melee chargeSliding powered melee creates 8 crystal wave uppercut	much worse individually vs. better powered melee aspects, needs Tectonic pairing	41	C
	Chaos Accelerant	Void	W	2	Overcharge grenades: axions: +2 seekers and 25% damage, scatter: +4 projectiles, tracking, 25% damage, vortex: 7.5% duration, 70% radius, enhanced pull, others: creates volatile HHSN blast	overcharge tradeoff + lack of class-leading options for damage and other purposes	42	C
	Trapper's Ambush	Void	H	2	Grants a weakening invisibility dive that uses melee chargeDive leaves smoke cloud that weakens and damagesSnare bomb gives invisibility to allies for 5-7s	not really relevant any more outside of pure stealth scenarios	43	C
	Child of the Old Gods	Void	W	2	Deployable weakening Void Soul for 25s on rift castHealing or empowering drain give 4% grenade/melee or 25 HP every 1.4s, and drained kills give 10-50% class	solid debuff extension but more fruitful ability regen options exist	44	C
	Heat Rises	Solar	W	2	Weapon and abilities can be used while gliding20-50% melee from airborne killsCure x2 for allies on consumption, 5-15s duration on aerial kill	good for movement and QoL for in-air shooting, dated Restoration x2 source	45	C
	Offensive Bulwark	Void	T	2	2 throws in Sentinel Shield, unpowered conversion that gives 10 HP Void Overshield, +400% grenade regen, +160% melee damage, 5.5m lunge with Void Overshield active	consistency problems in low power content, effects comparable to better uptime aspects	46	C
	Shatterdive	Stasis	H	2	Grants 4s ICD vertical dive that shatters crystals and enemiesIncreased shatter damageFrost Armor on crystal or enemy shatter	QoL Frost Armor source, but still mostly just a movement option	47	C
	Touch of Winter	Stasis	H	2	Coldsnap seekers duplicate on freeze and spawn crystals on chain detonations, duskfield gets 50% radius and crystal inside, glacier becomes a heptagon	extremely one-dimensional aspect, effect is quite niche	48	C
	On the Prowl	Void	H	3	Entering invisibility marks a random non-boss targetKilling target creates ally-cloaking weakening smoke cloud and gives reload and ability energy (3 stacks, 7s)	spree requirement too strict for endgame, walking to smoke clouds also potentially risky	49	C
	Flow State	Arc	H	2	Amplified on jolted enemy kill+200% class regen, +50 reload, 0.8x reload duration, and 66% DR during dodge while Amplified	QoL effects but Amplified trigger and dodge DR not very applicable	50	C
	Icarus Dash	Solar	W	2	Grants horizontal dash with 4s ICDTwo dashes with Heat RisesCure x1 on standard 3 kill counter within 5s	QoL movement choice with physics immunity frames, consistency pick	51	C
	Glacial Harvest	Stasis	W	2	Stasis Shard near enemy on freeze (scales with enemy type)x1-3 Frost Armor and 10-? HP from shard pickup	least consistent harvest aspect	52	C
	Drengr's Lash	Strand	T	2	Tracking 30m suspending lash on barricade cast	suspend focus on long CD, also mediocre value without Abeyant	53	D
	Juggernaut	Arc	T	2	50 HP overshield (Amplified 33% DR, 60% splash DR, 10% general DR) that gives Bolt Charge per hit absorbed while sprinting with full class energy, fully depletes class on destruction	fairly tanky overshield but uptime too poor and sprint requirement annoying	54	D
	The Wanderer	Strand	W	2	Suspending blast on Tangle destructionTangles are unaffected by Gravity and seek/attach to enemiesThreadling kills spawn Tangles	tradeoffs against normal tangle (delayed detonation) and suspend on long CD	55	D
	Frostpulse	Stasis	W	2	8.5m freezing pulse and +2.5m lunge for 1.2s on rift cast11% class energy on freeze	basically just for PvP cheese	56	D
	Cryoclasm	Stasis	T	3	2s ICD +50% distance slide and instant shatter on slide collision	basically just for PvP movement	57	D
