Accelerant

Ability Strength for every enemy within Affinity Range that is affected by Heat. Inferno is how you turn the tile into a Strength buffet.

Fireball
1

Fireball

25

A charged fireball that ignites. Fireball Frenzy (augment) gives nearby allies Heat damage on their weapons. In 2026 this is the dump slot — Gloom or Roar live here. Learn it, then replace it.

Immolation

50 · drain at full heat

Flame armor. Heat builds over time. Damage reduction scales with the meter. At full strength it consumes energy until you extinguish it (tap 2). Fire Blast spends heat and strips more when the meter is high. Immolated Radiance shares the DR with allies. This is the gate, not a set-and-forget toggle.

Fire Blast

75

Slam a ring of incinerating plasma. Armor strip scales with Immolation heat and Strength — this is a real strip, not a tickle. Heat status on the ring is the inherit primer for Heat guns. Healing Flame (augment) heals per enemy hit. Purifying Flames (PvP leftover) is not the build.

Inferno

100

A flaming comet crashes onto each nearby enemy and can spread through their ranks. This is the caster nuke. Exothermic gives energy-orb chance. Passive Strength climbs as the tile burns. Not World on Fire. Do not channel anything.
