This build is for my Cognition Loadout. I've replaced Mind Control with Xata's Whisper for the void damage bonus.

• Adaptation could be replaced with Rolling Guard.
• Narrow Minded could be replaced with Constitution, but your energy drain on Absorb increases.
• Cunning Drift can be placed by Rush, Endurance Drift, Speed Drift, Power Drift, or with an extra Forma, Primed Sure Footed.
• Just having a maxed [Augur Secrets] gives you 124% Strength which allows for 99% defense reduction with Phychic Bolts, allowing your weapons to still gain bonuses with armour and shield damage. If you want 100% defense reduction, swap Augur Secrets for Intensify.
• The difference between full efficiency at 175%, and the current build at 130% is minimal in terms of Absorbs drain (1.8 vs 1.9). You can use a lower ranked [Narrow Minded] to boost the range for Chaos if you'd like. However, Absorb's energy drain per second is affected by duration and efficiency.

PLAYSTYLE
Use Absorb (4) often to keep yourself immortal. With [Assimilate], you'll be to move during Absorb, although extremely slowly.
Use Psychic Bolts (2) to strip away enemy defenses.
Use Chaos (3) to CC enemies.
Use [Xata]'s Whisper (1) to add an additional damage type.
Use a melee with a stance to increase movement as your 4 slows you down.
Use Viral Slash weapons, which are more effective when enemy defenses are gone.
