In terms of community usage stats.

I really like Banshee, but I was shocked to learn she was at a mere 0.53% usage on last year’s published stats. I’m also really fond of Yareli and Gyre.

    Gyre has been my absolute queen of Steel Path content in recent months thanks to swapping coil horizon out for tharros strike and making incredible use of her cathode grace augment. Duration and efficiency are now dump stats lmao

      Would Silence work on her instead of Tharros Strike? I can’t seem to stay alive using TS so maybe some pointers on using it?

        Would’ve replied to this far earlier, but apparently Lemmy doesn’t properly work on mobile browsers. Cool.

        Isn’t…that the exact opposite of what you’d want to do? Tharros Strike pairs exceptionally well WITH Coil Horizon, not in its place. CH is her grouping ability. Tharros strike is a strip in a small contained area. Dunno why people are so insistent on replacing her 2 when her 1’s right there. It’s never been particularly good.

            Honestly? With how her 3 gives her crit chance (that also effects her abilities) it basically invalidates the need to focus on her passive. You’ll still get some benefit out of it from her abilities, but, eh, the fact that her 2 is a basic grouping ability (good to have at worst) and her 3 and 4 are essentially irreplaceable means 1 is just by default on the chopping block.

            Additionally, while I’m here, forget Tharros Strike. Subsume Pillage onto Gyre. She needs both Armor Strip -and- survivability, which Pillage provides both of in spades as she is one of the few frames who just naturally builds enough power strength to hit Pillage’s breakpoint (which Corrosive Projection greatly lessens). Attached below is an example of my build. Energize is for QOL and basically unnecessary after her 3+4 get a safe buffer of kills , Molt Augmented can be replaced by some strength shards and another arcane to your taste. I have two energy max shards, 1 +max energy filled on spawn shard, and 1 Parkour Velocity shard on, but, again, those are to your taste and effectively QOL.
