Inaros — Walking Wall

Endgame build. Inaros as a gun platform that will not die. Roar or Eclipse over Sandstorm. Shell is the tank. The gun is the nuke.

Wrong drop or mechanic?

Don’t build this yet

First Sand 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 Sand

Why this build?

Endgame for Incarnons, Primary Bulwark, people who picked the mummy for HP not scarabs

Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.

Play this in Steel Path

Not every Inaros wants to be a scarab mage. This is the 'I picked 2,000 health so I can ADS' loadout.
Primary Bulwark plus Shell is free gun damage. Put the arcane on the rifle.
You can still Gloom on Config B. This config is for when the gun is the point.

Don’t use this for: ability-nuke as the damage · players without Helminth

Specialised investment for hard content

You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.

Bring: Primary (Incarnon / Bulwark) — Primary Bulwark scales off armor — Scarab Shell feeds it. Phenmor, Torid, Felarx, any incarnon. Arcane Bellicose likes the health pool too.

Alternative if…

You don’t have Helminth yet → First Sand
Star Chart only → First Sand
New account or low investment → First Sand
This is too much Forma / cost → Scarab Tide — Optimised

Instead: First Sand Instead: First Sand — Star Chart Instead: Scarab Tide — Steel Path Instead: Scarab Tide — Optimised

Did this still work for you?

Your note, in this browser. Separate from Codex verification — the stamp on the card is editorial, this is yours.

Readiness

Inventory unknown

Not checked — add your collection. You have not failed a test.

Required mods 0/9 · required — 0/9 named
Forma 0/4 · required — 4 on the card. Codex does not track installed Forma.
Helminth 0/1 · required — Subsume Roar (Rhino) or Eclipse (Mirage)
Arcanes · recommended — 0/2 recommended
Shards · optional — Optional unless the card says a breakpoint

Investment: 4 Forma · Reactor · Helminth (Roar (Rhino) or Eclipse (Mirage)) · 2 shards · 5 specialised mods. Typical farm ~4–6 hours. Trade if a route is vaulted.

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.

What to put on the body

Roar (Rhino) or Eclipse (Mirage) over Sandstorm (2)

You will not tornado. Roar is a squad damage buff. Eclipse is a selfish multiplier. Either one turns the health tank into a gun.

Helminth is locked. Tick it on Progress before you subsume.

Tonight

What is actually up

30 minutes, one hour, or two — matched to this loadout, not a dump of the Origin System.

30 minutes
Farm Growing Power
One named gap. The Silver Grove quest
60 minutes
Growing Power, then Forma
Finish the missing named card, then spend a Forma if a polarity is still fighting you.
120 minutes
Subsume Roar (Rhino) or Eclipse (Mirage)
If you are logging off after this, stop at the named component. Do not start a second Forma session tired.

Who this is for

Common mistakes

Empty Shell with Bulwark equipped
No armor bonus, no Bulwark. Charge 3 or the arcane is a dead slot.
