Last updated: 2026-08-02
Player notes
Kianshir is a Legendary Breaker tagged with Elaman. In practical terms they cover anti-tank physical pressure and frontline shred. Elaman physical Breaker for faction dense comps.
Run with Lukamar enable patterns when possible.
In the role triangle, lean on free damage into Defenders and respect Seekers. Stars and gear still matter more than matchup alone on hard maps.
Star plan on this page (“Medium-high in Elaman”) is a budgeting hint: finish the first power spike that stabilizes clears, then reassess against your enabler and main carry before dumping every shard here.

Gear deep dive

- Trinket — Focus Lens: Crit lens for physical carries mid-game. Best when universal crit budget piece — highest build count in the DB.
- Tarot — Strength: Raw power tarot for bruisers and breakers. Take it for raw power bruisers when execute tarots are missing.

Team plan
Open Kianshir into Defender-heavy packs. Bring a Watcher for uptime and a Seeker or Destroyer flex if the map punishes pure physical lines.
- Open with Mirage Cleave when the board allows a clean cast.
- Keep reaction (Mirage Guard) online—do not strip it for vanity actives mid-fight.
- Basic attack (Mirage Axe) is for reposition turns or when NRG is dry.
- Count kill thresholds before committing—wasted openers cost the Act Again or NRG window.
