Read the Axatana tracking change and its observed Proxima/Lightning area-clear role.
Take the lower Sester's Gate route into Forgotten Tower and defeat the Dagger Sester to obtain Axatana. Balance Patch 1 improved its light-attack tracking. Community testing separates the distinct Proxima/Lightning area-clear pairing from a faster general Stasis build context.
Patch 1 improved light-attack tracking for Axatana. This affects connection and feel, but the patch note does not provide a numeric tracking value or a complete damage comparison.
The safest conclusion is that light attacks should follow targets more reliably than before. Relative rank and clear speed still depend on the complete build and player execution.
The available NG++ test calls Axatana central to a Proxima Lightning area-clear setup, with Salvaged Trebuchaxe as the observed sidearm. That makes the build useful for exploration-clear goals, but also highly conditional.
Do not copy only the Shell name and expect the same result. Check Lightning access, weapon state, sidearm, and progression investment together.
Balance Patch 1 improved light-attack tracking.
Proxima, with Lightning context.
Salvaged Trebuchaxe.
No. The high tier is one community author's view and depends on context.
