Traversal Scout Build

Weapons that open the map, not just enemies.

The mechanic it is built on

Some Phantom Edges double as keys: Bashpole smashes weakened floors to open new paths. Defeating certain foes also expands what you can equip, so exploration and loadout progression feed each other.

Strengths

+Unlocks hidden paths that pure damage builds would walk straight past.
+Naturally accumulates boss weapons, which is where signature techniques come from.
+Evasive primaries keep the exploration loop forgiving.

Watch out

−This is an exploration-first build — expect weaker single-target damage.
−Only Bashpole is confirmed as a traversal tool so far, so slot two is genuinely undecided until launch.
