Build pieces worth farming first

Based on documented kits, the highest-value abilities to understand before your Specialist unlocks: the Medic's Guardian Kit (20 temp HP, 20% damage reduction for 3s — GamingBolt), and the Hunter's Stasis Bolt plus Particle Pulse / Cryo Pulse (GamingBolt). Class pages: Medic · Hunter · Marauder · Duelist · Machinist · Specialist class page.

Theorycraft, labeled: specific cross-class combinations are community theorycraft until verified in-game. Combination rules (how many major/minor slots, any restrictions) will be added here once documented by official or hands-on sources.
