Tips that save runs
- Dante: it changes Noctua, so alternate fire makes an Energy zone.
- Squad energy: allies get the stolen Energy.
- Silence-sensitive enemies: silenced enemies cannot use their abilities.
- Noctua Swarm has max rank 3 and can be traded.
- The swarm covers 8m for 15s.
Mistakes that waste runs
- Expecting the swarm to work on any frame. It is a Dante augment.
- Firing at open air. The zone needs a surface.
