FULL GUIDE
intrepid Stand provides overguard everytime your 4th ability hits an enemy. Overguard essentially acts like [Rhino]'s Iron Skin ability where he is immune to status, knockdown, etc.

PASSIVE
max [Redirection] gives 1850 total shield. Styanax passive provides +1% crit chance for every 40 shield (multiplicative not additive) so 1850/40=46.25% cc. not a lot but nice if you need that little extra

1ST ABILITY
helminth for Nourish for insane energy and extra viral dmg w/weapons

2ND ABILITY
200%+ power str gives 100% armor strip. Use this on Eximus', Acolytes, bosses, etc.

3RD ABILITY
Use w/nourish for insane energy. Killing enemies replenishes shields and grants overshield. Combined with overguard this gives insane shield-gating capabilities. Enemies target you with this ability active (which triggers nourish!) so make sure you have overguard up. With the new melee arcane Melee Retaliation you can easily buff all your melee weapons with max Redirection and overshield.

4TH ABILITY
Spam until you have a good amount of overguard. If your shield breaks cast this to proc overguard shield-gating. This ability can kill enemies even up to level 1000 with slash procs! Unfortunately this ability doesn't crit or apply nourish but can be boosted by Arcane Arachne.

ARCANES
Arcane Arachne synergizes with [Styanax]'s 4th ability. This is a super cheap arcane with great value but can be annoying to proc
Arcane Rage can proc with overguard active, synergizing [Styanax]'s 3rd ability

[Intensify], and [Augur Reach] can be replaced with [Umbral Intensify] & [Blind Rage] when forma'd
