Shell Names in Official Sources

The official website gives the playable count. These sources support the names below; they do not provide a complete unlock walkthrough or every upgrade description.

Genessa: Check the Version of a Summon Build

September 5 changed Augmentation to stop the unlimited Resolve and Faithful Doubles loop. A build that depends on that loop needs revising. September 24 also addressed Faithful Doubles with Lost Clotstone. Neither note supplies a complete damage or resource-cost table.

Sources: September 5 update · September 24 hotfix.

Sariel: Thornfall, Agonize and Affliction

The September 5 update improved Thornfall in low-ceiling spaces and against moving or locked-on targets. Agonize no longer needs full pain; Affliction shares damage among cursed enemies and curses others. When testing Sariel, compare an open area with a cramped room and check the in-game tooltips before choosing upgrades.

Not yet verified: Exact unlock routes, full skill trees and comparative damage rankings still need verification for this guide. Patch notes establish individual changes, not a best-Shell tier list.
