Uriel by progress

Progression path first. Specialist cards after. Each progression card is the peak you can run at that rung — not a second identity.

Fire and Brimstone — Steel Path

Your first endgame-capable version.

Best for: Steel Path Star Chart, Circuit, first Archon. Helminth is the next card.

Archon Vitality doubles Heat procs. Range to 35 m. Demonium charges the ring. Brimstone is the tile. This is the peak you can run the day Steel Path unlocks — galvanized / arcanes, no Helminth.

Brimstone is a charged area, not a panic button. Demonium plus chained Catenach kills fill it.

Specialist builds

Not part of the path

Same frame, different job. These are not missing rungs — they are optional identities once the path feels easy.

Vythelas Sobek

Spend resources to push it.

Best for: Weapon platforms, Heat inherit, people who like shooting more than standing in a ring

Vythelas runes dump Heat and fire rate onto your gun. Kuva / Incarnon Sobek (or any Heat shotgun) becomes the actual nuke. Brimstone is backup.

Vythelas is why Uriel is a weapon platform, not only a ring caster.

Gulphagor's Keep

Your first endgame-capable version.

Best for: Endurance, people who keep losing demons, health-tank comfort

Remedium on a short cycle. Gulphagor latches, drops pain circles, prints orbs. You heal the pack, the pack heals you.

Uriel's armor is 105. The tank is heals plus living demons, not Steel Fiber.

Heretic's Roar

Only if you actually need it.

Best for: Weapon-plus-ring hybrids who already charge Brimstone from demon passives

Roar has to replace Demonium. You give up the best charger. Brightbonnet or Nourish over Infernalis is the usual 'keep 3' path — this one is the greedy damage buff.

You cannot put Roar over 1 or 2. DE locked damage buffs to Demonium. This config exists because of that rule.
