How to assemble the route

  1. Start with shared Extra Pockets. Once Anchor Mastery is complete, Self-sustaining rewards hitting a packed group.
  2. Use Bulwark for the brief swing window and Geyser for a delayed follow-up blast. Do not treat that short invulnerability as protection through an entire boss pattern.
  3. Keep a safe entry and exit route. The Shotgun’s Light Frame supports movement between committed close-range attacks.

Trade-offs and fallback

Agnostic variants must keep Aspects empty and avoid Blessing-dependent upgrades. Against isolated bosses, Self-sustaining has fewer targets and less cooldown value.

If the unique Forge choice is unavailable, use a shared upgrade that supports charges or cooldowns. Finish Anchor Mastery to expand the Forge pool; weapon fire modes have their own unlock requirements.

These are editorial priorities, not a tested DPS record or a guaranteed drop sequence. The Creator can compare up to four alternatives per category; that is a planning limit. Charm Power allows two equipped Charms, while Artificer lets one Forge offer both weapon and ability upgrades.
