Playstyle
Desiccation's Curse — blind, ground finish, spawn Swarm Kavats that spread Scarab Swarm. Grow a Corrosive desert pack.
Passive abilities
Inaros has no shields — massive health and armor do the tanking. Finishers and Sandstorm heal; Scarab Shell adds armor and status absorb. Arcane Persistence pairs extremely well once armor is high enough.
Active abilities
- 1 Desiccation — Blind wave that steals health and opens finishers. Desiccation's Curse spawns Swarm Kavats on finisher kills.
- 2 Sandstorm — Become a healing tornado. Elemental Sandstorm primes from your melee elements.
- 3 Scarab Shell — Spend health to build armor and absorb statuses. Negation Armor is a cheat-death on fatal hits.
- 4 Scarab Swarm — Corrosive scarabs that scale with health; kills can spawn Swarm Kavats.
- Augment: Desiccation's Curse on Desiccation. Keep Scarab Swarm.
