Aura = Super Optional , depends if u wanna invest aura forma or not. Brief respite / [Growing Power] the best.

Big Range = We grab up to 15 Enemy weapons Stacked with strenght & Xatas For big dmg.

This is a non shield gate Health tank setup - Tested to work just fine into lvl 2000 SP VC - u need enough dmg & movement to avoid taking deadly hits at that point.

U will permanently HP heal from Vampiric Faction mod and have Platform wide Armor strip with Lokhs grasp (Important to keep this up 99% of the time)

I suggest Sharding for Duration / Strenght + 1-2 Armor / Hp shards & 1x Yellow Energy Orb effiancy Shard. U will struggle with energy against magnetic / infested Late game.

Always stay in Exoskele form;) (Protip is to cast 4. ability before ur other ones to min max 1 second extra duration) This is lost if u cast ur other abilites before 4. because of the Cast time it has to set a stop to the durations.

U can also Subsume Xatas for Nourish (Should make VC Lvl cap more playable) at least without energy pads

I also Recommend [Primed Sure Footed] for VC Level cap attempts.
