Pick Inaros if…
- Inaros commands the fearsome desert — that's the Inaros pitch you want on the roster.
- This slot should feel like Desiccation, Sandstorm, and Scarab Swarm, not a reskin of Jade's Light's Judgment, Symphony Of Mercy, and Glory On High.

- Inaros shines on tile clears where ability damage — not just weapons — carries the pack.
Jade
- Ophanim Eyes carries mid-mission casts; Glory On High is the density payoff.
- Mod focus stays on match the priority to your main ability so the cast loop doesn't fall over mid-rota.

Mod Scaling Focus
Inaros
Match the priority to your main ability — Strength or Duration first for most kits, then Efficiency, then Range.
- STR
- Raises damage and effect potency across Inaros’s Strength-scaling abilities.
- DUR
- Extends channeled / timed effects — often comfort on Inaros if the kit leans on buffs or zones.
- RNG
- Helps radius / targeting tools. Dump it if Inaros is mostly self-buff or exalted weapons.
- EFF
- Keeps ability uptime comfortable, especially on longer Steel Path missions.
