Sheath Faculties


Nanocyte Class


It doesn't really look like there are many faculty options if you're a shealth-primary character. All but one of the faculties presented favour having Cloud or Gear as your primary, but even Discorporation doesn't especially benefit sheath characters.

Being the skills and defense option, sheath is just pretty good as it is. It also uses Swarm Strike, Alacritous Form, Versatile Nanites, Agile Host...

Sheath is by far the most beneficial for a melee character, from what I can tell so far.


And yet none of those are faculties. If you have sheath as your primary, you have one non-stupid faculty choice.

Oh yes. Sorry. Con brain. Only one OK Faculty, but plenty of good Knacks.

I separated the forms and knacks based on which array they depend on primarily. Discoporation, Infestation, and Redirection all kinda force the cloud, Obliteration forces Gear, and only Infestation marginally supports Sheath. Luckily, the nanocyte isn't forced to only use one faculty. There are very few knacks for the sheath as well, not really any versatility to it.

I tried to make my nanocyte Sheath focused, because it looked like the worst build (ie, prolly gonna be the least test played) They are a defensive healer that punches stuff. Still kinda reliant on the cloud...

Discorporation actually has support for Sheath. Swarm Shadow essentially turns you into a Sheath Array for your ally, including all Sheath Knacks you may have taken. It is kind of an odd choice for a capstone to the Faculty and comes online way too late to really help Sheath be a viable focus, but it is there.
