How to play it

Lob spores into the fight: the clouds hurt enemies and heal squadmates standing in them. Stay behind the Vanguard.

When someone goes down, stand over them: with 5 ranks of Resuscitation they’re up in about 3 seconds instead of 12.

Upgrade order

Gold goes furthest on the suit parts that matter most for this build. Take these to their cap first:

Maxing every part costs about 18,000 gold for the suit, 68,000 for the Spore Launcher and 14,345 for the Needle SMG. See progression.

Getting there

Gear only drops, and never more than 2 levels above you: the Spore Launcher can drop from level 10, the Needle SMG from level 1 and the Hazard Suit from level 5. Until then, play the same way with the best guns you’ve found (see the best early guns), and put your first points into Resuscitation, Regeneration, Vitality.
