Archon Shards: The mandatory ones are 2 casting speed shard, the other shards I would discuss is optional and it is just my personal preference. 1 tau parkour velocity to move between exolizer faster and 1 tau melee crit damage and 1 tau casting speed shard. The 1 tau casting speed shard can be replace for more melee cirt damage but I rather speed up expedite suffering animation.

Build Explanation: If you going to use a gun over melee you can drop [Augur Reach] or [Primed Continuity] for [Blood Forge] and or [Vigorous Swap] and arcane defelction for a fire rate arcane, damage increase arcane, or molt augmented. [Blind Rage] is not on this build as in Void Cascade you will be spamming your abilities a lot and negative efficiency going to make cycling more annoying. [Blending Talons] is mainly on the build for Thrax unit as it's animation is faster and more comfortable for high priority target than the regular ability animation.

How to use: Status proc with a weapon, then seeking [Talons], next use your damaging weapon, and finally spam expedite suffering. When using a melee with this setup, after priming you want use the melee button to take out your melee and immediately use seeking [Talons] to cancel the melee animation to be able use heavy attack as early as possible. You with have to spam expedite suffering in higher lever because overguard is not affected by viral debuff so you will need to spam to break the massive overguard health of thrax (heard it was 15.5 million on level cap). The reason [Xata]'s whisper is not here to break overguard is because it counts as an active ability and you can get killed while in operator/drifter.

Additional Information: I have reached level cap with a worse build than this as I have [Overextended] instead of [Augur Reach] which was somewhat unnecessary at clearing crowds. When I was making this on overframe I realize that I can use the regular Seeking [Talons] animation instead of the [Blending Talons] for debuffing crowds for [Dread] heart. Also when I did the level cap I did not have a tau melee crit damage and tau casting speed shard, instead I have health regeneration and ability strength which I need to change later. I had killed level cap Thrax with Garuda Prime Talons heavy attack and Dread Heart with only the need of 2-3 expedite suffering cast. You can get it down to a consistent of 1 cast but 1 cast means you basically waiting for the slash procs to do the damage making you have to wait roughly 2 to 3 seconds after cast so it might better to just cast it again.

Weapon: Garuda Prime Talons
