Info

  • Demonium is Uriel’s ability 3.
  • Uriel rips out the souls of his demons, draining their health, and sends them in search of new victims.
  • 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 Demonium when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
  • Pair Demonium with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
  • On Steel Path, confirm whether Demonium still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
  • If you never press 3, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Uriel.

Mod Scaling

Strength

Improves Demonium’s damage or effect potency where Strength is listed on the ability.

Duration

Duration is low priority on Demonium unless an augment or lingering effect needs it.

Range

Range is usually dumpable on Demonium unless you feel the hitbox is too tight.

Efficiency

Demonium 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

MissionHow to Use It
Steel Path Survival / Defense / DisruptionTest whether Demonium still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled.
Mobile Defense / ExcavationUse Demonium to control or delete the swarm on the objective, then reposition.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsCast Demonium only when it saves time — skip it on empty tiles.
Spy / Rescue / Quiet RoutesIf Demonium 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 — Demonium is tuned for Uriel’s loop — don’t judge it as a standalone subsume without the rest of the kit.
