CITRINE

Gaze upon the Crystal Bastion. Citrine's crystalline might supports allies on the battlefield. Combat only enhances her fractal beauty.

Citrine is a tank-support hybrid who stacks huge damage reduction on herself and her squad through Preserving Shell while her gem abilities strip armor and prime status procs for everyone's guns. Most Steel Path players just facetank behind that shield with high Strength and Adaptation, either keeping Prismatic Gem for the status/companion support or subsuming Pillage over it for a full armor strip.
