First Heat — Star Chart
Immolation is a heat meter, not a toggle you forget. Fire Blast strips. Inferno lights the room. World on Fire is dead. Primed Continuity and Primed Flow are the first real upgrade — not Blind Rage.
Junctions through the Outer Terminus. Steel Path is the next card, not this one.
- Steel Path ready: Arcanes are fair game, shards can wait.
- Content: Steel Path matched against what this loadout is actually for.
- Playstyle: Inferno caster.
- Unlock Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts on Progress and Comet Night — Steel Path replaces this.
