Xeno Profile
Signal Summary
AX combat has its own rules. Human damage expectations, shield habits, target priority, module choices, and survival decisions all shift when the opponent uses caustic damage, swarms, hearts, and shutdown fields.

Key Concepts
AX weapons - Specialised weapons are needed to damage many Thargoid targets effectively.
Hearts - Interceptor fights revolve around exerting and destroying hearts.
Survival tools - Decontamination, heat control, shutdown field neutralisers, and repair planning matter.
Field Notes
Start with scouts or training resources before taking interceptor fights seriously.
A standard PvE build can fail quickly in AX content.
