Inaros Prime · The kit

Blind, armor up, plague, stand there

Inaros is a health tank with no shields. Scarab Shell is the whole survivability plan — charge it, keep it. Swarm is the damage. Gloom is the 2026 Helminth.

Undying Pharaoh

Lethal damage entombs Inaros in a sarcophagus. You become a sand spirit, attack enemies, and drain their health to revive. If the drain finishes, you stand up. If it does not, you bleed out like anyone else. Do not treat this as a second health bar — treat it as a warning you forgot to charge Scarab Shell.

Desiccation

A wave of cursed sand blinds enemies and heals Inaros. Blinded foes can be Finished. Desiccation's Curse (augment) spawns a sand kavat from those executes. This is the starter heal, the finisher factory, and a respectable grouping cone.

Cost: 25
Blind: Duration-scaled
Desiccation's Curse: Finisher → sand kavat

Sandstorm

75 · channeled

Inaros becomes a sandstorm, pulling enemies in and healing off them. Elemental Sandstorm (augment) copies elements from your melee onto the tornado. Fun, clunky, and the first ability most 2026 builds replace with Gloom or Roar.

Cost: 75 + drain
Helminth: Default dump slot
Elemental Sandstorm: Melee elements on the storm

Scarab Shell

Health, not energy

Hold 3. Inaros feeds health into a scarab layer: bonus armor (Strength-scaled, ~350 at 100%) and full status immunity while it lasts. Status hits chew a slice of the shell instead of proccing you. Negation Armor (augment) is a panic extra life and usually not worth the slot. Recast when the bar is low. This is why Arcane Persistence works on him.

Cost: Health drain while charging
Armor bonus: ~350 at 100% STR, scales
Status: Immunity while charged

Scarab Swarm

100

Throw a beetle bomb that inflicts guaranteed Corrosive and ticks damage based on Inaros' health pool. Enemies that die in the swarm spawn a Swarm Kavat that carries the plague onward. Strength, Range, Duration, and Vitality are all damage mods here.

Cost: 100
Status: Guaranteed Corrosive
Scales with: Max health × Strength
