Uriel — Heretic's Roar
Endgame build. 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.

Don’t build this yet
First Fiends 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 FiendsWhy this build?
Endgame for Weapon-plus-ring hybrids who already charge Brimstone from demon passives
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- You cannot put Roar over 1 or 2. DE locked damage buffs to Demonium. This config exists because of that rule.
- If charge feels awful, subsume Brightbonnet or Nourish over Infernalis instead and keep 3.
- Camisado plus living demons is the only reason the meter still moves.
Don’t use this for: 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: Heat weapon still — Same Sobek / Heat primary as the weapon config. Roar double-dips Heat. Recast Roar on the timer.
Alternative if…
- You don’t have Helminth yet → First Fiends
- Star Chart only → First Fiends
- New account or low investment → First Fiends
- This is too much Forma / cost → Fire and Brimstone — Optimised

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) over Demonium (3)
Damage-buff Helminths are locked to the Demonium slot. Roar multiplies Brimstone and the gun. You charge 4 slower — Catenach chains, Gulphagor circles, and Vythelas runes have to do the meter.
Helminth is locked. Tick it on Progress before you subsume.

Who this is for
Play this build from zero
You know damage buffs can only replace Demonium and you want Roar anyway.
- Time to a playable copy
- After Helminth Roar over 3, plus Camisado so charge still exists.
- First mission to practice in
- SP Exterminate. Charge will be slower. The ring should hit harder.

Roar loop
Pocket card. Stick this on a second screen; the long version is the mission below.
- 1Infernalis (1) on. Demons still work — they unlocked from their abilities even if 3 is gone.
- 2Roar (3). Shoot and let Catenach spread the damage.
- 3Remedium (2) religiously. Charge now depends on living demons, not soul bombs.
- 4Brimstone (4) when it finally fills. It should delete because Roar is on it.
First mission — press these buttons

Roar, then let demons work
3Catenach and Gulphagor have to fill Brimstone now. Do not stare at an empty meter and recast Roar forever.

Ring with Roar on it
44. It should be ugly.
Common mistakes
Helminth 1 and expecting Roar
It will refuse. Damage buffs go on 3.

- 1If charge is miserable, undo thisBrightbonnet over 1 keeps Demonium. That is the other Helminth.
