Firstly, a quick prefix: I found this bug on PS5, however for some reason I cannot post to the PlayStation bug reporting forums, so if this post can be moved there it would be more appropriate, as I can't say for certain whether this occurs on other platforms. I would imagine it does, but I cannot confirm that. Hildryn cannot normally trigger (and therefore benefit from) Arcane Steadfast, however when using an ability given to her via the Helminth, she can trigger Arcane Steadfast's free casts. As a result, she can use her base abilities indefinitely at no shield cost without expending charges of Steadfast. Using the Helminth ability however, functions as normal (free cast at the expense of a charge). This works on all Helminth abilities that would normally trigger Steadfast on their respective Frames as far as I can tell, however I haven't tested every single Helminth on her, so I cannot 100% confirm this. I have made a video demonstrating this in action. There are timestamps in the YouTube description if you need to identify what a specific part of the video is showing, however as a quick rundown: The first 1min 20secs is showing how Pillage (and by extension, all of Hildryn's abilities, tested off screen) cannot typically proc Steadfast. 1:40 onwards is triggering Steadfast via Nourish and showing how Hildryn's own abilities do not consume charges while being freely cast, but Helminth abilities function as expected. (I would recommend turning your volume down before watching, as in order to demonstrate this I had to spam a lot of abilities) And now, on a personal note: While this bug will eventually need resolving as it is potentially exploitable, I would very much like Arcane Steadfast to function on Hildryn as it does other frames, instead of simply removing the trigger from Helminth abilities on her. My justification for this is that both Haven and Aegis Storm are drain over time abilities (and Steadfast only negates initial cast cost), meaning it would only realistically allow for 3 free casts of Pillage (which functionally is already, since it restores your shields after cast), a free Summon and 2 shots of Balefire Charger (or 3 shots if it were already active), or 3 free Helminth abilities (which any frame with Steadfast can achieve). Having an Arcane that does nothing on certain frames feels like wasted potential to me. Anyway, I hope you have a good day!
