Build role and upgrade context
Role: Single-target burst. Use the Flooded Village pickup when a slow, deliberate shot is more valuable than constant close-range pressure.
Pairing: Proxima / punish a stagger or create a reset. Sidearms share the Obsidian Lathe upgrade path, so record the route before spending scarce materials.
