(Where it sits)
Across the 119 frames in the roster, Grendel Prime sits in the top fifteen per cent for health (4th of 119) and armor (14th of 119).
It is thin on shield (114th of 119), which is what a build has to answer for.
It ships with 4 polarities already installed, plus Naramon on the aura slot, so that much of the board costs no forma.

(Abilities)
-
01 Feast 25 energy
Swallow enemies whole and store them in Grendel's gut. Hold to vomit out stored enemies, covering them in toxic bile.
Augment: Gourmand
-
02 Nourish 50 energy Subsumable
Regenerate health as Grendel absorbs nourishment from enemies in his gut. While he digests, enemies that attack or are attacked by Grendel suffer Viral Damage and energy sources provide more energy. These buffs extend to squad mates.
Augment: Hearty Nourishment
-
03 Pulverize
Grendel curls into a ball. He heals over time as he rolls, knocking over anyone in his path. Jumping slams Grendel into the ground and generates a damaging shockwave.
Augment: Catapult
-
04 Regurgitate
Violently puke out a bile soaked enemy from Grendel's gut, turning the consumed into a toxic projectile. Nearby enemies are slowed and have their armor dissolved by the bile.
Augment: Gastro
Costs are base figures, before efficiency.
How to get Grendel Prime
Grendel Prime comes out of Void relics — 20 of them across its 4 parts. It is in the Vault: those relics no longer drop, so the only routes left are a player who already holds them and the occasional unvaulting.
