Proxima is likely the second Shell you will find in Mortal Shell 2, located almost due north of the Widow's Overlook Beacon in Fainweald.
Proxima relies heavily on her Biosampler Ability which pulls targets to her, dealing AoE damage that shocks nearby enemies. She can also passively mitigate damage thanks to Grafted Armor, making her more durable than some Shells.
Because she doubles the damage and radius of Shock, Lightning is her status effect of choice, so she would ideally use weapons that can be infused with this, such as: Great Martyr's Blade, Clockwork Scythe and Axatana. And for sidearms, Salvaged Trebuchaxe.
“Purpose gives the soul its shape.”
