Just team up with a Loki geared for Radial Disarm. Now every mission is an Infested node. Problem solved. Loki pops decoy. Every enemy in LoS of Decoy targets it. Deploy Vortex on Decoy. Loki and Vauban: Ultimate Trollface Victory Duo. Weapons? Anything with punchthrough or AoE (AoE is better).Try the Miter. Or better yet, the Tigris.

Bastille is an amazing ability, but is often misused like Tornado and Tentacle Swarm. Range is worthless, as is Power Strength. These abilities are designed to block enemies from advancing, not protecting or crowd control (which is just another method of protection) Protection is Snow Globe's territory and these cannot touch it in that regard. A Tornado in the middle of a room will disrupt aim. Tentacle Swarm in the same location will disrupt sight. Bastille will also disrupt sight. Bastille might also drop a small platoon ready to fight around an unsuspecting team member.

Bastille should be kept small with max duration. It is placed in front of doors as roadblocks. It stops everything. Those caught will not shoot. Those stuck behind the ones in stasis cannot shoot through their allies. That will not stop you from exploiting this. Kill those in stasis. The layer behind fires a few shots but then gets caught in stasis as well. You can do this indefinitely.

Bastille can be stuck to the underside of walkways on certain maps like one of the variants on Outer Terminus. This will trap above and below. A large Bastille is a waste of Bastille and a waste of mod slots. Only one or two enemies can come up those stairs. Bastille costs nothing to cast. Place one at the top of each stairway.

Tesla is worthless as it deals damage. It can stun, but it needs range. I'd rather have Bounce. Bounce is Vauban's best ability due to versatility and utility. Just like Nova's best ability is Wormhole.

Vauban is a tactile frame. You have to think a certain way to use him. Loki is very straightforward compared to Vauban.

The information on Bastille you see here is from 4 hours of first-time Bastille gameplay. I released Vauban from his 2 month 'claim' incarceration in my foundry a week ago. Bastille never caught my eye. Too many people used it like Snow Globe. I spotted the shortcomings and decided to leave Bastille alone. Played with it today and fell in love.
