Framework Updated Sep 21, 2026
Best builds in CONTROL Resonant are combinations of Aberrant forms + abilities + talents + artifacts, tested at The Gap. We do not publish fake DPS tier lists before launch data exists.
Build framework (use this now)
- Pick a combat fantasy (stagger bruiser, ability caster, mobile skirmisher)
- Choose Aberrant primary/secondary that support it
- Slot abilities that cover clear / single-target / defense
- Spend talents along one tree direction
- Add artifacts that reward the same triggers
- Respec after each Resonant boss if the kit feels wrong
Starter templates (pre-launch)
- Stagger bruiser — heavy-leaning Aberrant pair, Push/Ignite style tools, defensive dodge talent bias
- Anomaly caster — Barrage / Volatile Anomaly focus, ability Power recovery talents, artifacts that proc on ability hits
- Hybrid — balanced forms, one clear ability + one defensive tool, flexible talent spend
After Sep 24
This page will gain verified loadouts once ability numbers and artifact text are checked in-game. Bookmark and re-check after launch week.
