Acquisition: Main and component blueprints are available from Chipper of Kahl’s Garrison with Stock earned from Break Narmer weekly missions.
Styanax was pretty fun to play, I had it modded to be a shield tank before his Final Stand augment was added, so he had pretty good survivability. His 1 without his augment feels terrible to use though because it requires you to hit a target to group enemies and if that enemy has Overguard it won’t group any of the other enemies around even if they aren’t protected by Overguard. It doesn’t help that Overguard is getting put on everything in recent updates, his augment does let you hit the ground instead but that feels more like a band-aid instead of just letting it group enemies that aren’t CC immune.
He had pretty good energy management with rally point and tharros strike helped with removing armor from tankier enemies before killing them to replenish your shields. I don’t think Final Stand was useful on its own, but it is a very good ability if you’re using its augment.
