ABILITIES
UrielPASSIVE 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)
Infernalis
Manifest an aura of flames inflicting Heat Damage and Status Effect on nearby enemies. Tap Dodge while airborne to take flight as a flaming meteor of destruction.
Remedium
Uriel heals himself and his demons. If his demons are dead, they are resurrected.
Demonium
Uriel rips out the souls of his demons, draining their health, and sends them in search of new victims. Souls explode on contact with an enemy, rendering it vulnerable to Damage.
Brimstone
Uriel and his demons create a growing ring of flaming brimstone. Charge the ability by utilizing demon abilities. Damage inflicted increases with each consecutive hit.
CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE
How to play this build.
Tenno. Skip Brimstone; this Uriel just stacks the Vythelas heat buff (the Cyte resupply family) as high as it goes. Thermal Transfer adds a 75% x Strength heat buff that feeds Vythelas twice. Heat mods mandatory, faction mods ideal.
How it works
`Vythelas heat DoT = 0.5 x 30% x Strength x base damage x (1 + heat mod + other elements) x (1 + heat mod) x (1 + faction)^3`, so heat and faction mods multiply hard.
Thermal Sunder with Thermal Transfer feeds a further 75% x Strength.
Helminth
Thermal Sunder with Thermal Transfer (double-feeds Vythelas), or
Nourish
for viral and energy.
Roar loses the Strength scaling.
Weapon synergy
Heat weapons with heat and faction mods: Kuva Sobek acid shells, Ocucor viral-heat, Detron, heat-modded Phantasma or Nataruk.
Where it struggles
Vythelas is inconsistent to keep up (you chase the rune).
Bosses.
Variants
The Three Demons (#014) is the hybrid caster-nuke Uriel.
Who runs this
Players who want Uriel purely as a heat weapon amplifier.
