How Aberrant Builds Work
Confirmed
Close-Range Combat
PlayStation Blog describes combat as close-range and demanding, with enemies that require dodges, stagger management and status-effect awareness.
Confirmed
Shapeshifting Weapon
The Aberrant changes form instead of behaving like a fixed sword, gun or single melee tool.
Preview system
Ability Recovery
Preview coverage points to an aggressive loop where melee pressure helps fuel supernatural ability use. Final numbers remain Unknown.
Database link
Talents
Talents should be recorded as modifiers that change form behavior, ability recovery, dodge windows or status application.
Database link
Artifacts
Artifacts belong in builds only after effects and acquisition sources are verified.
Unknown
Upgrade Costs
Damage scaling, upgrade materials, rank caps and respec behavior are still launch-data fields.
Form Records To Add At Launch
Each Aberrant form should use the same record shape so the site becomes a real DB instead of a prose guide:
| Field | Example handling |
|---|---|
| Form name | Hammer |
| Status | Confirmed / Preview-confirmed / Unknown |
| Role | Stagger, pressure, crowd control, defense or boss damage |
| Unlock source | Story, Resonant reward, quest, exploration or Unknown |
| Core attacks | Add only after final input names are verified |
| Best abilities | Link to ability records, not generic paragraphs |
| Related talents | Link to exact talent nodes once confirmed |
| Related builds | Link to tested or theorycraft-safe build shells |
