(Where it sits)

It is thin on shield (100th of 117) and health (96th of 117), which is what a build has to answer for.

It ships with 2 polarities already installed, plus Naramon on the aura slot, so that much of the board costs no forma.

(Abilities)

  1. 01

    Tesla Nervos 25 energy Subsumable

    Deploy a roller drone that attaches itself to enemies and delivers bursts of arcing Electricity Damage to anything in the immediate area.

    Augment: Tesla Bank

  2. 02

    Minelayer 25 energy

    Control the battlefield with masterful mines. Vauban's Tether-Flechette orb immobilizes and draws in enemies while launching deadly nails in all directions. HOLD to launch a Vector-Overdrive pad that accelerates foes and allies alike in the pad's direction, increasing ally Movement Speed and Weapon Damage.

  3. 03

    Photon Strike 50 energy

    Drop a targeting beacon that calls in a devastating laser artillery strike. Deals doubled damage to enemies with Overguard.

    Augment: Photon Repeater

  4. 04

    Bastille 100 energy

    Erect a containment field to capture enemies and suspend them in stasis, stripping their armor and granting it to Vauban and any allies within Bastille's field. HOLD to collapse all Bastilles into a single damaging vortex.

    Augment: Enduring Bastille

Costs are base figures, before efficiency.

(Acquisition)

The drop tables carry nothing for Vauban. It is not farmed from a mission — it comes from clan research, a quest reward or an event, none of which the export records.
