Uriel — Fire and Brimstone
Steel Path build. 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.

Steel Path Star Chart, Circuit, first Archon. Helminth is the next card.
Wrong drop or mechanic?
Why this build?
Steel Path for Steel Path Star Chart, Circuit, first Archon. Helminth is the next card.
Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.
- Brimstone is a charged area, not a panic button. Demonium plus chained Catenach kills fill it.
- Archon Vitality is the 2026 Heat identity. Skip it and the ring tickles Steel Path.
- Range over extra Strength once the Heat DoT is doubling. A 35 m ring is the nuke.
Don’t use this for: Star Chart only · loadouts that need Helminth
Stronger mods, Arcanes, real synergy
You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.
Bring: No exalted — Brimstone is the weapon. A Heat primer (Sobek, Epitaph) speeds the first stacks. Archon Vitality is the mod.
Alternative if…
- Star Chart only → First Fiends
- This is too much Forma / cost → First Fiends — Star Chart

Medium confidence. A solid recommendation with more situational dependencies. Confidence is not verification. Verification is separate: Codex Checked against Update 43.5.

Who this is for
Play this build from zero

- Time to a playable copy
- After Archon Vitality, Overextended, and a couple of Strength mods.
- First mission to practice in
- SP Survival. Watch the Brimstone meter while you spam 3.

Ring loop
Pocket card. Stick this on a second screen; the long version is the mission below.
- 1Infernalis (1) stays on. Jump-dodge through rooms as a meteor.
- 2Demonium (3) on cooldown. This is the fastest Brimstone charge.
- 3Remedium (2) the instant a demon dies. Camisado and charge both need them up.
- 4Brimstone (4) when the meter fills. Stand in the ring. Heat stacks until the tile is gone.
First mission — press these buttons
- 1
Aura on, Demonium on cooldown
33 is the charger. Catenach chains spread the kills into more charge.
- 2
Drop the ring
44 when the meter is ready. Stand in it. Heat stacks should climb until armor is a memory.
You will know it worked when: A growing fire ring. Numbers that go up, not down.
Common mistakes
Tiny range Brimstone
Overextended looks ugly. A 15 m ring is not the build.
When this feels easy
- 1Arcane ConcentrationCast 2 or 3 just before 4 so the ring lasts.
- 2CamisadoDemon kills are Strength. Let them work.
