Silken Shelter uses Cyrtarachne's Facade for grapple-triggered Woven Mail and kill-based personal recovery. Suspend a dangerous push, unravel targets with Final Warning, and leave yourself a safe landing.
Woven Mail · Personal recovery
Five fragments · Team crowd control
Cyrtarachne's Facade grants Woven Mail when you activate Grapple. Its current text also grants flinch resistance and health on defeats while Mail is active. Widow's Silk adds a grenade charge and leaves a reusable Grapple Tangle at your grapple point.
Woven Mail itself is damage resistance, not healing. The helmet's kill effect and your Orb mods are the distinct recovery sources.
Ensnaring Slam spends class energy to suspend nearby enemies and grants personal Mail when it suspends combatants. Final Warning's fully charged burst unravels a marked target. Threaded Spike severs enemies to reduce their outgoing damage.
Team support comes from disabling or debuffing threats, not your helmet healing allies. Bosses and other control-immune enemies still need cover and ordinary damage.
Activate Grapple toward a nearby safe anchor for Mail. You can cancel rather than flying into a full room. Practise the movement somewhere forgiving before harder content.
Hold Final Warning's trigger to mark an enemy and fully charge a burst; hit that marked target to apply Unravel. A quick uncharged shot does not guarantee this effect.
With class energy ready, use the air move for Ensnaring Slam near a safe group. It consumes that energy instead of performing a normal dodge. Defeat suspended enemies for Thread of Mind's class return.
Threaded Spike reduces enemy damage and returns melee energy on its return; time the catch for more. Use this at range instead of grappling into a dangerous major.
Collect safe Orbs for healing and charge. Destroy or throw Tangles deliberately; respect their cooldown and your fireteam's use of them. A Grapple Tangle anchor is not an extra carried Tangle.
Use Silkstrike on suitable waves, respecting incoming damage and positioning. Pro Memoria clears sustained threats from safer range; swap to a rocket for a different Heavy role when needed.
Widow's Silk / 3: additional grenade charge; grappling leaves a Grapple Tangle anchor. Reusing the anchor helps movement economy; do not equate it with unlimited safe melee attacks.
Ensnaring Slam / 2: air move consumes class energy to suspend nearby targets. Suspending combatants grants Mail; its damage scales with Class at 100 or higher.
Do not assume Slam triggers every mod that says dodge or class ability use. The mod plan below does not depend on that attribution.
Dealing damage generates grenade energy. -10 Grenade. Supplements recharge; no instant-refill claim.
Defeating suspended targets gives class energy. Helps recover the energy spent by Slam when there are killable targets.
Extends Suspend, Unravel, and Sever applied to enemies. Does not make a boss suspendable.
Grenade activation reloads the equipped weapon and improves handling/airborne effectiveness briefly. +10 Weapons. Complements Grapple without requiring a melee kill.
Weapon kills while you have Mail create a Tangle, subject to cooldown. +10 Melee. Your helmet and Slam provide Mail without Warding.
Acrobat's Focus grants Mail from Grapple and adds flinch resistance plus kill-based personal healing while Mail is active. Mail from Slam can also satisfy that active-buff condition. No teammate healing or fixed resistance-stacking percentage is assumed.
Lightfall-origin Exotic: check current unlock and Rahool focusing requirements, ownership, and availability in game. Until owned, practise grapple/suspend with ordinary armor; you lose the helmet's grapple-triggered Mail and recovery.
Strand Primary sidearm / Kinetic slot. A fully charged burst that hits a marked target unravels it. The catalyst improves marked-target hits and can return ammo; it is optional, not needed for Unravel.
Originally earned through The Final Strand on Neomuna; check current access and prerequisites. Start with any Legendary Strand Primary if needed, but it does not inherit Final Warning's charged-burst Unravel.
| Slot | Armor | Job |
|---|---|---|
| Helmet | Cyrtarachne's FacadeExotic | Grapple protection and kill recovery. |
| Arms | Exodus Down GripsLegendary / piece 1 | Melee-hit energy support. |
| Chest | Exodus Down VestLegendary / piece 2 | Incoming-damage resistance. |

| Weapon / slot | Perk pair | Role / acquisition check |
|---|---|---|
| Harsh LanguageVoid / Energy / Special wave-frame GL | Wellspring + Unrelenting | Grounded-wave clear with kill-based ability energy and rapid-defeat healing. General Legendary pool; check current drops. Waves are less suitable for airborne enemies. |
| Pro MemoriaStrand / Heavy / machine gun | Reconstruction + Frenzy | Pale Heart-origin progression option. Reloads over time and gains combat-based damage/reload benefits. Sustained clear, not a top boss-burst claim. This roll does not itself apply Unravel. |
| Palmyra-BStasis / Heavy / rocket launcher | Auto-Loading Holster + Explosive Light | General-pool tracking alternative for heavier single-target shots. Collect Orbs, allow holstered reload, and keep blast spacing. Replaces Pro Memoria; adjust surge if focusing its damage. |
150 Grenade / 100 Class / 50 Melee / 100 Super. Build Grenade and Class toward 100 first; extra Grenade is a later goal, not a reason to remove resistance or recovery mods.
Final planning targets, not a verified inventory total: include Generation's -10 Grenade, Ascent's +10 Weapons, and Transmutation's +10 Melee. Keep sensible Health/Weapons and resistances. Above 100 is not another identical recharge tier; 150 Grenade does not mean 50% faster grapples or permanent Mail.
Monument of Triumph / checked 24 October 2026. Final Warning supplies real Unravel to feed Threadlings; Tangles and Sever extend team control.
| Slot / tier | Perk | Trigger / practical effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 / T1 | Unraveling Orbs | Orb or Tangle pickups grant Strand weapons Unraveling Rounds. Gives Pro Memoria a separate route to Unravel. |
| 2 / T1 | Elemental Siphon | Rapid Kinetic or Super-matching weapon defeats create a Super-matching pickup; collecting it gives matching Super energy. Strand weapons and Silkstrike align here. |
| 3 / T2 | Horde Shuttle | Weapon hits on unraveled targets can spawn Threadlings; those Threadlings sever enemies they damage. |
| 4 / T2 | Vile Weave | Tangle hits sever targets; picking up a Tangle reduces its cooldown. |
| 5 / T2 | Gold From Lead | Special ammo pickups have a chance to grant Heavy ammo. Not guaranteed on every brick. |
| 6 / T3 | To Shreds | Sustained hits on severed enemies unravel them. Severed-target defeats create a Strand hotspot that gives nearby allies brief Woven Mail. |
| 7 / T3 | Heavy Ordnance Regeneration | Sustained Heavy machine-gun or rocket damage grants brief resistance and grenade/melee regeneration; powerful-target defeats while active disorient nearby weaker enemies. |
Final Warning's charged-burst Unravel starts Horde Shuttle even without a pickup. Threaded Spike supplies Sever for To Shreds. The hotspot is this artifact's conditional team Mail, not an innate team-healing property of Cyrtarachne. Particle Reconstruction is intentionally omitted: a sidearm is not a fusion rifle.
Suspend can stun Unstoppables. Artifact Unraveling Rounds can cover Barriers with Strand weapons; ordinary Unravel from Final Warning is not the same buff. Bring an independent Overload answer and verify actual counter icons before launch. Do not assume every boss or Champion can be held indefinitely.
Alternative direction: Implement of Curiosity offers Threaded Blast, Tangled Web, and Shieldcrush for a Tangle/ability emphasis. Replace the plan, not add perks. Refreshed artifact pools; Bungie's seven-perk rules.
| Slot | Mods | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Helmet | Strand Siphon Void Siphon Heavy Ammo Finder | Matching weapon multikills create Orbs; ammo support is not guaranteed drops. |
| Arms | Impact Induction Focusing Strike Strand Loader | Spike hits support grenade/class energy; loader helps Final Warning. Respect cooldowns. |
| Chest | Concussive Dampener 2× activity-matched resistance | Mail is not immunity or a replacement for resistance mods. |
| Legs | Strand Weapon Surge Recuperation Innervation | Strand weapon damage, timed charge decay, and Orb healing/grenade energy. Not a Grapple damage surge. |
| Class item | Time Dilation Distribution Bomber | Longer surge charge duration; normal dodge near enemies supports energy, Bomber supports grenade energy. Not required to proc from Slam. |
