ABILITIES

Inaros Prime

PASSIVE When Inaros takes lethal damage, he entombs himself in a sarcophagus and incarnates as sand to attack enemies, draining their lifeforce to revive himself.

1

Desiccation

Desiccation

Blast enemies with a wave of cursed sand that blinds them and steals their health.

2

Sandstorm

Sandstorm

Become a sandstorm. Inaros devours enemies pulled into his whirlwind, healing himself.

3

Scarab Shell

Scarab Shell

Activate to form Armor by draining Inaros's Health. Activate again to stop the formation early. The protective layer reduces incoming Damage and absorbs Status Effects.

4

Scarab Swarm

Scarab Swarm

Summon a Scarab Swarm to attack enemies with guaranteed Corrosive Status. Damage scales with Inaros's Health. Enemies killed while immersed in the swarm summon a Swarm Kavat that fights alongside Inaros and guides the scarabs to other enemies.

CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE

How to play this build.

Tenno. Elemental Sandstorm turns Inaros's whirlwind into a moving blender that scales off a melee statstick. Mecha Pulse and Mecha Empowered mark and amplify, emerald shards strip armour with corrosive, and Inaros's health bar does the rest.

How it works

Sandstorm's tick damage copies your equipped melee's modded damage, so a statstick built for pure blast (a heat weapon plus one cold mod) or pure electric with Melee Influence pushes the whirlwind's kill speed.

A priming companion such as Panzer or Diriga applies viral and magnetic so the ticks land hard.

Two emerald shards stack corrosive for a full strip, three Tauforged emeralds add ability damage on that corrosive stack.

Where it struggles

Needs a statstick and a primer set up.

Slow against single targets.

Range is dumped, so you drive into packs.

Variants

The Undying (#064) is the plain Inaros tank.

Who runs this

Inaros mains who want the frame to nuke without aiming.
