build tldr:
tap 2 twice for invulnerability, or use it once and go invis to drop agro. very important mechanic for high level content.
use 3 for cc / dmg
use 4 (roar) to buff everyone
ofc use 1 when at max strength :3

this build is designed for the most amount of strength while still resembling something playable in steel path - not using troll mods to only get a tiny bit more strength.

build notes:

• can use combat discipline + arcane avenger over molt augmented for significantly more dps
• can use umbral intensify over archon intensify for higher consistency lower strength
• strength shards are not high priority, better to take cast speed and bigger energy orbs, or whatever you want.
• not recommended to use hp/armor mods on [Wisp] because with her kit they functionally do nothing but waste valuable mod slots. it is not worth trading a mod slot for <+20% strength increase and nothing else.
• similarly, empower is just not that useful. it gives you like 15% more attack speed and 100 more hp but you could instead have roar which basically doubles everyone's damage so..

STRENGTH CONDITIONALS (all are hyperlinked to their wiki page):
stack ones that last longer first before going for short ones, then use them all at once (dont overthink it tho lol). conditionals without a listed time = infinite.
60 molt augmented‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎(kill things)
50 power drain‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(mercy kill an enemy)
50 energy conversion‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(pick up energy orb)
45 molt vigor‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(use a operator ability)

‎ ‎x 1.28 nidus specter‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎<- parasitic link lasts ~60s, used off cooldown after 20s ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ (use nidus specter)
‎ ‎= 798% strength solo (up to 894% with full shards)

editors note: it will often be pointless / difficult to get all of these at once. don't get tilted chasing mercy kills in content everything dies instantly in lol, and don't waste specter in fast missions (unless ur rich ig). just have fun :D

guide:

• since [Wisp] casts relatively infrequently, it is easy to stack up conditionals without losing out on anything. ideally, get some motes down with 'good enough' strength, then spend your time farming up all of the conditionals (ie, molt augmented, power drain) to "upgrade" your motes later in the mission.
• tapping [Wisp]'s 2 makes her invulnerable for a bit, and can easily keep her alive in levelcap missions. use it when you are worried you would die. (better rolling guard)
• if mobile mission type, remember that motes with low strength will still refresh the duration and keep the strength of stronger motes.
• note that while shock mote can help you stay alive and gives energy it will slow down your ability to kill enemies cuz they will get stunned coming towards you which is detrimental in less dangerous missions.
• remember to utilize wisps passive since its rlly op
• can build weapons without fire rate to optimize damage since haste mote will compensate

viable options:

• zenurik for more energy at slightly less strength
• arcane energize over molt augmented for more energy but less str
• flow over augur secrets for more str
• arcane avenger + combat discipline combo
  ^ I use all of these for high lvl sp like EDA, where strength is not as important as energy for spamming 2 and 3
• exilus can fit anything you want
  ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ㅤ- note that fused reservoir counts as 3 and forces you to play a shock mote, if you are considering it.
• [Catalyzing Shields], [Adaptation], [Rolling Guard] can all be put in over [Augur Secrets] if you are struggling to stay alive still

VISUALS: (the icons that appear in top right next to hp bar so you know which is which - not on wiki for some reason)
energy conversion ->
nidus link ->
molt augmented ->
molt vigor ->
sling strength ->
power drain ->
growing power ->
archon intensify ->

enjoy! :)
