Equip the legendary Neurion Stimulator brain augment on high-offense or hybrid familiars such as Walkom when pushing deep into endgame content like Gauntlet level 1100+. The brain augment grants proc-based bonus strikes when the familiar acts, dealing supplementary damage without using an extra turn or draining your team's shared skill point (SP) pool.

Why Neurion Stimulator Works on Walkom
In high Gauntlet levels, prolonged encounters against scaling enemy health and damage increase the chance of team wipes. Neurion Stimulator accelerates combat tempo by turning routine familiar actions into multi-hit sequences.
Walkom benefits heavily from this brain augment due to his hybrid role as a multi-target attacker and team healer:
- Dual-threat actions: Walkom can cast healing or utility abilities to sustain the party while Neurion Stimulator procs continue applying offensive pressure to enemy targets.
- SP preservation: Supplementary procs deliver free damage instances without spending the team's shared SP, preserving resources for your main hero's core abilities.
- Burst scaling: Because the bonus strikes scale off the familiar's base offensive profile, Walkom's critical strike multipliers apply directly to augment procs to help finish off backline enemies faster.

Combat Impact in High Gauntlet Tiers
At Gauntlet tier 1101, standard turn-by-turn damage can fall behind enemy damage scaling. The table below illustrates how Neurion Stimulator alters combat flow compared to standard familiar setups:
| Combat Factor | Standard Familiar Setup | With Neurion Stimulator | Tactical Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Action Economy | Strict 1:1 action per turn | Off-turn bonus hit procs | Faster wave clearing |
| Turn Dependency | Restricted strictly to Agility speed | Generates output outside normal meter | Continuous combat tempo |
| Target Pressure | Requires dedicated skill actions | Incidental hits whittle enemy targets | Less incoming burst on tanks |
| Encounter Length | Slower, increasing attrition risks | Faster target elimination | Prevents late-fight wipes |

Secondary Augment Priorities
To maximize the value of Neurion Stimulator, coordinate your secondary augment slots (bones, skeleton, and core) to reinforce offensive procs rather than defensive padding:
- Damage and Critical Chance: Increases the baseline and spike damage of every bonus strike generated by the brain augment.
- Dual Strike Chance: Adds further hit instances to compound your familiar's offensive action economy.
- Empower Chance: Useful if relying on Walkom for emergency triage, allowing both team heals and offensive procs to critically surge during intense waves.

Placement and Familiar Restrictions
Neurion Stimulator should not be equipped indiscriminately across all team roles:
- Do not equip on pure tanks: Dedicated frontline meatshields such as Glarzdos or Scort require defensive brain augments granting redirect, absorb, or deflection chances. Tanks lack the offensive stat scaling needed to make damage procs effective.
- Equip on mid- or rear-row DPS and hybrids: Keep Neurion Stimulator on high-agility damage dealers and offensive utility units positioned behind your tank to eliminate priority targets before incoming enemy damage breaks your frontline.
