First Heat first
This loadout sits at Endgame. It wants Forma, Helminth, or shards you may not have. Play the Starter until those systems are open — then this page is the upgrade, not the homework.
Open First HeatWhy this build?
Endgame for Heat Incarnons, Kuva / Tenet Heat, Steel Path Grineer
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- Heat inherit plus a full strip is why Ember still has a gun identity after the caster identity.
- Healing Flame makes 3 a sustain button. You live in the fire.
- Do not Blast at 10% heat. The strip and the inherit both want the gate high.
Don’t use this for: Star Chart only · new accounts · ability-nuke as the damage · solo level-cap
Specialised investment for hard content
You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.
Bring: Heat primary — Ignis, Kohm, Phenmor, any Heat Incarnon. Blast applies Heat. The gun inherits it. Strip first if they still have armor.
Alternative if…
- Star Chart only → First Heat
- New account or low investment → First Heat
- This is too much Forma / cost → Comet Night — Optimised
- You wanted the ability loop, not guns → First Heat

Codex Checked · Compared against current game data for this update. · Update 43.5 · 5 Sept 2026 · PC · Current
Medium confidence. A solid recommendation with more situational dependencies. Confidence is not verification. Verification is separate: Codex Checked against Update 43.5.
