◇ Triage Cradle Build — Season 2 Stat Plan
Free respec · resets each season
Invest primary Energy into the Recharge track for tighter ability uptime and the Resistance track for raw survivability and consumable efficiency — both directly serve Triage's sustain-and-revive loop in a balanced playstyle.
PERK · Head Start
Starting runs with partial Tactical charge means the first Med-Drone deployment is available almost immediately, establishing the sustain loop before the first contact — critical for a shell whose entire identity depends on ability uptime.
PERK · Primed
Partial Prime charge at run start means Reboot+ is available faster in early-run confrontations, where a solo Triage is most vulnerable without a squad to absorb aggression.
PERK · Scab Factory
Bleeding out more slowly when downed is directly relevant for Triage: with Med-Drone attached, bleed-out is already prevented, but in solo play without the drone active, Scab Factory extends the window for self-recovery or repositioning.
RESISTANCE TRACK
14 ENERGY
PERK · Field Medic
Medical consumables taking less time to apply is a direct multiplier on Shareware.Exe — faster self-application means faster proc of the 25% crew benefit share, and faster Samaritan core triggers to reduce Med-Drone cooldown. This perk tightens every sustain loop in the build simultaneously.
PERK · Factory Reset
Reviving a crew member restores your health over time — in a shell that spends significant HP to stay alive long enough to execute revives, this converts each successful Reboot+ into a self-sustain event, closing the health deficit incurred during the revive animation.
STRENGTHS
+Regen V4 (+50% Self-Repair) combined with Solid Stance V4 (+50 Hardware) gives Triage a durable back-line profile despite having no shield slot — passive healing and armor combine to keep HP recoverable between exchanges
+Helping Hands V4's combined +70% effective Revive Speed (stacked with Regen V4) makes manual revive animations nearly invisible, drastically reducing the window enemies have to interrupt or punish the revive
+Samaritan core plus Resistance Track's Field Medic perk creates a tight consumable-to-Med-Drone cooldown loop: every Patch Kit or Cardio Kick self-applied reduces Med-Drone cooldown and shares 25% benefit to nearby crew via Shareware.Exe
WEAKNESSES
−No shield implant equipped — Triage's 120 base HP is the only buffer, and while Hardware stacking from Solid Stance V4 and Helping Hands V4 compensates, any sustained direct engagement will deplete it faster than Self-Repair can recover mid-fight
−Solo play significantly undercuts the build's core loop — Med-Drone, Shareware.Exe, and Fresh Install all scale with squad presence; running this solo means roughly half the build's designed synergies are idle at any given moment
RANKED NOTE
This build is configured for casual play with no ranked constraints, so score targets don't apply — but note that Triage is rated Solo D in ranked, and this build's effectiveness scales sharply with squad size; in any squad context it becomes a genuine S-tier contribution.
