Playstyle

To fight as the Heretic of Xata is to have demons at your back. Built around Infernalis, Remedium, Demonium.

Passive

Uriel commands, empowers, and protects three unique demons. CATENACH: Snares and slows enemies chaining them together. Damage dealt to any target in the chain is inflicted on all snared enemies. (Unlocks with Infernalis) GULPHAGOR: Latches onto foes dealing damage over time. If killed, a circle of pain is spawned. (Unlocks with Remedium) VYTHELAS: Inscribes demonic runes upon fallen foes that add Fire Rate and Heat Damage when collected. (Unlocks with Demonium)

When to Pick

  • You want a support / healer toolkit and Uriel’s fantasy matches the mission.
  • Your squad is missing what Uriel brings — especially Infernalis.
  • You already own the mods / archon shards that make Uriel’s scaling comfortable on Steel Path.

Kit Overview

  • Infernalis (Ability 1): Manifest an aura of flames inflicting Heat Damage and Status Effect on nearby enemies.
  • Remedium (Ability 2): Uriel heals himself and his demons.
  • Demonium (Ability 3): Uriel rips out the souls of his demons, draining their health, and sends them in search of new victims.

Helminth / Subsume

  • Infernalis is often the Helminth sacrifice if your build never needs Ability 1 and you’d rather import a strip, buff, or survival tool.
  • Keep Remedium and later abilities when they define Uriel’s identity.
  • Never subsume the ability that enables the rest of the kit’s energy or survival loop.

Mod Scaling

Strength

Raises damage and effect potency across Uriel’s Strength-scaling abilities.

Duration

Extends channeled / timed effects — often comfort on Uriel if the kit leans on buffs or zones.

Range

Helps radius / targeting tools. Dump it if Uriel is mostly self-buff or exalted weapons.

Efficiency

Keeps ability uptime comfortable, especially on longer Steel Path missions.

Priority

Match the priority to your main ability — Strength or Duration first for most kits, then Efficiency, then Range.

Mission Usefulness

Mission / ContextRatingWhy
Steel Path Survival / Defense / DisruptionStrongUse Uriel on Steel Path when the squad already has strip/nukes and you need Infernalis. Manifest an aura of flames inflicting Heat Damage and Status Effect on nearby enemies. To fight as the Heretic of Xata is to have demons at your back.
Mobile Defense / ExcavationExcellentPoint-hold missions reward Uriel: Infernalis turns the excavator into a killbox. Manifest an aura of flames inflicting Heat Damage and Status Effect on nearby enemies. To fight as the Heretic of Xata is to have demons at your back.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsSituationalUsable on speed runs, but Uriel’s support / healer kit usually wants longer objectives than a 3-minute Exterminate. Manifest an aura of flames inflicting Heat Damage and Status Effect on nearby enemies. To fight as the Heretic of Xata is to have demons at your back.
Spy / Rescue / NightmareSituationalOnly if you already know the vaults — Uriel is not a Spy specialist and Infernalis won’t save a loud play. Manifest an aura of flames inflicting Heat Damage and Status Effect on nearby enemies. To fight as the Heretic of Xata is to have demons at your back.
Open World / BountiesStrongStrong on packed bounty camps; Uriel still leans on Operator / Archwing for the empty travel stretches while Infernalis handles fights. Manifest an aura of flames inflicting Heat Damage and Status Effect on nearby enemies. To fight as the Heretic of Xata is to have demons at your back.
Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style ContentWeakUriel wants pack clear or finishers, not pure long-range; Infernalis won’t save an Eidolon-style loadout. Manifest an aura of flames inflicting Heat Damage and Status Effect on nearby enemies. To fight as the Heretic of Xata is to have demons at your back.
