(Where it sits)

Across the 117 frames in the roster, Inaros sits in the top fifteen per cent for health (2nd of 117).

It is thin on shield (113th of 117) and energy (103th of 117), which is what a build has to answer for.

It ships with 2 polarities already installed, plus Naramon on the aura slot, so that much of the board costs no forma.

(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.

(Abilities)

  1. 01

    Desiccation 25 energy Subsumable

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

    Augment: Desiccation's Curse

  2. 02

    Sandstorm 25 energy

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

    Augment: Elemental Sandstorm

  3. 03

    Scarab Shell

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

    Augment: Negation Armor

  4. 04

    Scarab Swarm 100 energy

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

Costs are base figures, before efficiency.

(Acquisition)

The blueprint is a reward for Sands of Inaros; Cephalon Simaris sells a replacement if you lose it. The parts are farmed separately. Skipping all of it costs 225 platinum in the market.
