(prime) to do considerably more damage than a standard attack... Capitalizing on headshot multipliers as wells status bonus which adds to damage stacks and even crit modifiers. Once a group of enemies are under the players control, then use the Redeemer to destroy them quickly through the weapons secondary charge function and effectively blasting the enemies into Oblivion. Activate decoy to allow the player to swap with it in the event, lethal damage is received. If enemies are powerful enough to destroy the decoy, switch teleport it... In order to give it 10 seconds of invincibility allowing the player to utilize the decoy swap mechanic regardless of enemy or environmental situation.
When invisibility ends or right before it expires, forward roll to activate rolling guard... Effectively giving 3s of invincibility which is just enough time to recast invisibility. Remember there is a 6s cool down to this mechanic. Anytime enemies surround the player or players, use loki's disarm to control the battle. Helios or adarza play an important roll so work to keep these companions alive.

Counters
Sentients can counter this build with their ability to adapt to damage types. Suggest a strong primary like

The Penta Launcher fires up to five grenades that can be remotely triggered at just the right moment.

with the tether grenades mod that can also group sentients in one place, making it easier to dispense them. Sentients can also link each other for damage reduction so activate the irradiating disarm mod to sever that link for a few seconds in order to capitalize on the kill and use the

ability while fighting sentients as they have powerful ranged attacks that can one hit kill on contact. Leech Eximus can also counter this build as it requires high power usage, so try to destroy Leech Eximus as soon as they spawn in if possible.
This is a fantastic, powerful, unconventional build. I'd like to add a couple things to it that can significantly improve it..
Your sentinel isn't going to attack while you're invisible, even if you're actively attacking. As such, its weapon is just a stat stick. A better option for fueling condition overload is something like the Tigris Prime or Exergis modded for full status (rad/viral preferrably). This will also help you deal with sentients. As far as your companion weapon goes, put gladiator set mods on your deconstructor. The set bonus will apply to your Redeemer, even if the sentinel dies. You can also equip the deconstructor and then equip your adarza kavat and the deconstructor will still be "equipped", just hidden from view. This way, you can have both adarza buffs AND gladiator set buffs. Combine this with Naramon to maximize the bonus. Next, Hushed Invisibility silences the Redeemer, making it no longer alert enemies and preserving your stealth bonus when solo. It's worth considering. Finally, since you're running gas status, your damage scales with enemy density. Consider running Magus Lockdown and Magus Anomaly to group up enemies while putting them to sleep.
