Playstyle

Immolation on, Inferno to mark and spread Heat, Fire Blast at high heat for strip and to dump the meter. Exothermic keeps energy positive in dense rooms.

Passive abilities

Burning enemies grant Ability Strength. Manage Immolation heat — high meter means more DR and stronger Fire Blast strip / Inferno, but full heat drains energy until you Fire Blast it down.

Active abilities

  • 1 Fireball — Heat projectile / Fireball Frenzy hold buff. Common Helminth slot.
  • 2 Immolation — Heat-meter DR armor. Immolated Radiance shares DR with allies.
  • 3 Fire Blast — Knockback wave + armor strip scaling with Immolation. Healing Flame heals / Overguards.
  • 4 Inferno — Comet marks that spread Heat. Exothermic refunds energy on Inferno kills.
  • Augment: Exothermic on Inferno. Optional Healing Flame on Fire Blast.

Mission Usefulness

  • Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption

    Excellent

    Immolation DR + Inferno Heat spread deletes dense SP packs after Fire Blast strip.

  • Mobile Defense / Excavation

    Excellent

    Inferno the point wave, Fire Blast for strip and Healing Flame Overguard.

  • Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs

    Strong

    Fast once heat is managed; empty tiles waste Inferno casts.

  • Spy / Rescue / Nightmare

    Weak

    Loud fire kit — not stealth.

  • Open World / Bounties

    Strong

    Camp clumps Inferno well; travel needs Operator.

  • Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content

    Weak

    Inferno wants packed mid-range enemies, not Amp hunts.
