1. General information

Grendel is one of the most unique Frames in the game. It offers a very interesting kit which is primarily based on consuming enemies to use them for your other Abilities or passively provide bonuses to your character. In general, Grendel is a very tanky Frame, which is often seen carrying enemies in his Belly to increase his Armor, and quickly recharge Health with Nourish ability. This build is oriented on providing powerful Auras for yourself and nearby allies, which can be cycled between depending on the type of enemies you have consumed. You should also try to have three enemies in your belly at all times for the extra Armor. You should focus mainly on Heavy enemies for that purpose since they 1) are significantly harder to deal with 2) will stay alive longer while you are consuming them. Sadly, his 4 is completely unreliable, in many battles it will be plain useless, and when used for mobility, it will get you stuck a lot. The damage it deals is also on the lower end when it comes to Ultimate Abilities.

3. Mods

Below you will find the recommended Mods for our Grendel's Tank/Auradin build. It offers very balanced stats, without any specific focus on a single one. It should allow you to enjoy this build the most, but we do expect the entire build to be changed as soon as Grendel becomes reworked (and he definitely needs a bunch of tweaks).
