Playstyle

Helminth over Fireball — Immolation DR, Fire Blast strip, Inferno Heat, and a weapon buff while guns clear. Roar double-dips Inferno Heat.

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.

  • 1 FireballHeat projectile / Fireball Frenzy hold buff. Common Helminth slot.
  • 2 ImmolationHeat-meter DR armor. Immolated Radiance shares DR with allies.
  • 3 Fire BlastKnockback wave + armor strip scaling with Immolation. Healing Flame heals / Overguards.
  • 4 InfernoComet marks that spread Heat. Exothermic refunds energy on Inferno kills.
  • Helminth over Fireball (Roar / Eclipse / Nourish). Keep Inferno + Fire Blast.
