EQUINOX

Equinox rises from the edge of day and night. Her Day form offers offensive support while her Night form offers defensive support. She thrives between realms.

Equinox is a Day/Night switch frame: you bank charge on Maim in Night form while sleeping or shielding the squad, then flip to Day form to dump it as a room-clearing slash nuke, using Energy Transfer to carry that charge across the switch. She's a farm and Steel Path clear frame built around managing that form swap and energy economy, not a gun frame you play reactively.
