CALIBAN

The heir of twin kingdoms ascends. Biological and Sentient life meet in Caliban. An adept monarch, he offers crowd control and survivability. His creator had more than one world in mind.

Caliban is a shield-tanking summoner who strips enemy armor and shields with Fusion Strike while his Sentient allies from Lethal Progeny do most of the actual killing, especially Ortholysts focus-firing grouped targets via the Razor Mortar augment. He's built for grinding out long Steel Path survival and endurance runs, not fast nuking, since his own ability damage is mediocre next to dedicated damage frames.

CALIBAN PRIME

Forged in celebration of the all-too-brief peace between the Orokin and Sentients, Caliban Prime is a true collaborative masterpiece. The heir of twin kingdoms arises in royal gold.

Caliban is a shield-tanking summoner who strips enemy armor and shields with Fusion Strike while his Sentient allies from Lethal Progeny do most of the actual killing, especially Ortholysts focus-firing grouped targets via the Razor Mortar augment. He's built for grinding out long Steel Path survival and endurance runs, not fast nuking, since his own ability damage is mediocre next to dedicated damage frames.
