Understand Shade Prime
Useful when…
- Stealth when Ghost is equipped and its attack interruption can be managed
- A Sentinel with higher listed Health, Shield, and Armor than standard Shade
Ghost stealth
When equipped, Ghost cloaks its owner when enemies are within 24 m at rank 5, or 14 m at rank 0. The cloak is disrupted if the owner attacks.
Revenge and weapon
When equipped, Revenge limits the Sentinel's attacks: it will attack an enemy only if that enemy has attacked its master within 10 m at rank 5, or 5.8 m at rank 0. Shade Prime comes with the Burst Laser Prime; no weapon statistics are listed here.
Defenses and comparison
Shade Prime has 700 Health, 300 Shield, and 100 Armor. Standard Shade is listed with 600 Health, 130 Shield, and 80 Armor. Dethcube Prime has 600 Health, 300 Shield, and 150 Armor and is described with Assault Mode and Vaporize, rather than Shade's stealth focus.
Build and polarities
The listed build price is 15,000 and build time is 86,400 seconds (24 hours). The recipe includes one blueprint, one each of the Carapace, Cerebrum, and Systems, and six Orokin Cells. The six listed polarities are five Penjaga and one Naramon.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Ghost's cloak is disrupted when its owner attacks.
- Revenge only allows Sentinel attacks against enemies that have attacked its master within the rank-dependent range.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming Ghost is active without equipping it.
- Expecting Ghost's cloak to persist through the owner's attacks.
- Treating Revenge's attack condition as unconditional aggression.
