The Kinetic Momentum Loop & Synergy Strategy
- Momentum Role: Integrates seamlessly with Dylan Faden's tri-phase kinetic combat loop (Power Generation → Falter Stagger → Execution).
- Synergy Pairing: Combine with Drill Form (Phase 2 Falter Shred) & Glaive Form (Phase 1) to maintain pressure across multiple combat ranges.
- Upgrade Progression: Enhance via Living Shards at The Gap hub to unlock tier-specific resonance modifications.
