Using Serene Storm for radial melee strikes

How do restraint and the abilities work?

Baruuk’s passive says that dodging projectiles, lulling enemies, and disarming them erodes restraint. As restraint diminishes, he becomes more resistant to damage; the maximum resistance value is unresolved. Elude dodges incoming projectiles only while he is not attacking. Lull slows enemies until they sleep; damage wakes them confused and disoriented. Desolate Hands sends orbiting daggers after enemy guns, and combining it with Elude doubles its range. With restraint eroded, Serene Storm delivers radial strikes with Baruuk’s fists and feet; each moment commanding the storm restores restraint.

Where does Baruuk fit?

Elude can dodge projectiles while Baruuk is not attacking. Lull and Desolate Hands provide ways to affect groups of enemies, and their described effects also erode restraint. Serene Storm uses eroded restraint for radial melee attacks, while commanding it restores restraint.

How do his stats compare with Baruuk Prime?

Baruuk lists 180 Health, 270 Shield, and 185 Armor, with two Vazarin polarities. Baruuk Prime lists 180 Health, 365 Shield, and 240 Armor, with Naramon, Vazarin, and Madurai polarities. The supplied ability descriptions are shared by both entries.

Conditions to keep in mind

Elude’s projectile dodge applies only while Baruuk is not attacking. Serene Storm restores restraint while being commanded. The passive describes resistance increasing as restraint diminishes, but its exact cap cannot be determined from the unresolved placeholder.

Limitations and tradeoffs

Elude’s projectile dodge requires not attacking.
Serene Storm restores restraint while active.
The passive’s maximum resistance is unspecified.

Common mistakes to avoid

Expecting Elude to dodge projectiles while attacking.
Assuming Serene Storm keeps restraint depleted while it is being commanded.
Treating the unresolved resistance cap as a known value.

Elude

Dodge all incoming projectiles, but only while not attacking. Use again to deactivate this ability.

Lull

A calming wave slows enemies until they fall into a slumber. Enemies woken by damage will be confused and disoriented. Short-term amnesia means all waking enemies forget anything that happened before the lull.

Desolate Hands

Summon a bevy of orbiting daggers to seek out enemy guns, destroying them with a small explosion. Combine with Elude to double the range.

Serene Storm

With his Restraint eroded, Baruuk commands the Desert Wind to deliver powerful radial strikes with his fists and feet. Each moment commanding the storm restores his Restraint.
