Info
- Brimstone is Uriel’s ability 4.
- Uriel and his demons create a growing ring of flaming brimstone.
- Use it with the rest of the kit — especially Infernalis, Remedium — instead of casting it in isolation.
- Ability Strength, Duration, Range, and Efficiency each matter differently; check Mod Scaling below before dumping all four.
Tips & Tricks
- Read the battlefield first — cast Brimstone when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
- Pair Brimstone with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
- On Steel Path, confirm whether Brimstone still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
- If you never press 4, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Uriel.

Mod Scaling
Strength
- Improves Brimstone’s damage or effect potency where Strength is listed on the ability.
Duration
- Duration is low priority on Brimstone unless an augment or lingering effect needs it.
Range
- Range is usually dumpable on Brimstone unless you feel the hitbox is too tight.
Efficiency
- Brimstone costs energy each cast — Efficiency (or strong regen) keeps the loop comfortable on long missions.
Priority
Stack the stats that actually move this ability’s needle, then Efficiency for uptime.
Mission Use Cases
| Mission | How to Use It |
|---|---|
| Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption | Test whether Brimstone still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled. |
| Mobile Defense / Excavation | Use Brimstone to control or delete the swarm on the objective, then reposition. |
| Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs | Cast Brimstone only when it saves time — skip it on empty tiles. |
| Spy / Rescue / Quiet Routes | If Brimstone is loud or forces combat, save it for after the vault; if it’s stealth-friendly, use it to stay safe. |
Comparisons
- VS
Vs similar tools on other frames — Brimstone is tuned for Uriel’s loop — don’t judge it as a standalone subsume without the rest of the kit.
