🔍 Securing the Pyro Prince: Acquisition 101

Before commanding the flames, you must first earn the right:

1. Complete The Old Peace Quest: This narrative adventure is your golden ticket, rewarding you with Uriel's main blueprint and unlocking essential features.

2. Farm Descendia Mode: Head to your Navigation terminal and select the Dark Refractory option (unlocked post-quest). Your mission: brave the Descendia.

3. Reach Infernum 21: This specific tier within Descendia guarantees one of Uriel's component blueprints (Neuroptics, Chassis, Systems) as a reward. Prepare for a fiery climb!

👹 Meet the Hellish Entourage: Uriel's Demon Companions

Uriel never flies solo; he deploys with three oversized, sentient-sentinel-like demon buddies. They're more than just eye candy; they're the chaotic orchestra to his conductor:

These fiery familiars passively attack and draw enemy fire. If they fall, they respawn after 60 seconds... or instantly when Uriel uses his Remedium ability. Their effectiveness scales directly with Uriel's core power stats.

🔥 Uriel's Toolkit: Turning Up the Heat

Uriel masterfully blends weapon buffing and potent spellcasting, offering flexible build paths. Understanding his abilities is key to unlocking his potential:

✈️ Infernalis Flight (1st Ability)

• Activate: Creates a damaging Heat aura around Uriel, panicking and armor-stripping enemies caught within.

• Air Dodge = Flight: Tap dodge while airborne to rocket forward! Maintain full control, cancel by landing or performing another action.

• Why It Rocks: Ideally, keep this infernal aura permanently active. The constant Heat procs create chaos, reduce incoming damage, and soften targets. The flight? Pure, unadulterated fun and mobility. While builds can focus on it, the aura is the star. 🔥

💖 Remedium (2nd Ability) - The Panic Button

• Cast: Uriel becomes briefly invulnerable while channeling.

• Effect: Heals Uriel's Health and Shields instantly. Casting at full Shields generates Overshields!

• Hellish Healing: Fully revives any fallen demon companions at the end of the cast.

• When to Use: SHIELD GATE! The moment your shields shatter, hit Remedium. It's your instant reset button for health, shields, and demon squad. Essential survival tech.

💀 Demonium (3rd Ability) - Sacrifice for Suffering

• Cost: Drains health from your active demons.

• Effect: Fires homing, explosive projectiles. Enemies hit take increased damage (a vulnerability debuff), scaling heavily with Ability Strength.

• Key Point: This is primarily a debuff tool, not raw damage. The vulnerability window is short, making Duration less impactful. Strength is king here!

☄️ Brimstone (4th Ability) - The Grand Finale

• Effect: Creates a massive zone of extreme Heat damage. Each damage tick within the zone intensifies subsequent Heat damage on affected enemies.

• The Power: This thing MELTS even Steel Path heavyweights in seconds. It's ludicrously powerful.

• The Catch: It needs charge. Using Uriel's other abilities and interacting with his demons' effects (like Gulphagor kills or Vythelas runes) fills the charge meter below your demons' health bars. Only when full can you unleash the apocalypse.

📊 Building the Inferno: Stat Priorities & Playstyle

Uriel thrives on specific stats, regardless of whether you lean towards guns or abilities:

1. Ability Strength (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐): The undisputed champion. Boosts damage for Infernalis, Demonium's vulnerability %, and Brimstone's insane melt potential. Prioritize this!

2. Ability Range (⭐⭐⭐⭐): Makes Infernalis' aura and Brimstone's nuke zone cover more area. Fantastic for crowd control and ensuring your fiery reach extends far.

3. Casting Speed (⭐⭐⭐½): Critically important runner-up. Uriel relies heavily on abilities with noticeable cast times. Faster casting = smoother gameplay, especially crucial for landing Brimstone or Remedium in a pinch.

4. Ability Duration (⭐⭐⭐): Extends the uptime of Infernalis and Brimstone. Nice to have, but less critical than Strength or Range. Gulphagor's reliable Energy/Health orb drops make ability spamming easy, reducing absolute need for max duration.

5. Parkour Velocity (⭐⭐): Enhances Infernalis Flight's speed. Pure fun/QoL for zooming around maps. Build for it if you love the flight!

⚙️ Modding for Maximum Mayhem

Equip these mods to turn Uriel into an unstoppable inferno engine:

• Core Survivability & Resource:

  • Equilibrium: Essential! Synergizes perfectly with Gulphagor's orb drops, solving Health and Energy needs effortlessly. 🧠

  • Flow / Primed Flow: Bigger energy pool = more ability spam, especially Brimstone charges.

  • Adaptation: The gold standard for endgame toughness. Stacking damage resistance makes Uriel incredibly durable.

• Stat Boosters (Pick based on priorities above):

  • Strength: Blind Rage, Intensify, Augur Secrets, Transient Fortitude

  • Range: Stretch, Augur Reach, Overextended (if you can offset the Strength loss)

  • Casting Speed: Natural Talent, Speed Drift

  • Duration: Continuity, Constitution, Augur Message

• Endgame Must-Have:

  • Archon Vitality: Makes your ability-based Heat damage apply twice (double the DoT!) and gives a hefty health boost. Pure synergy!

✨ Arcanes & Shards: The Fiery Finishing Touches

• Arcanes: Tailor these to your playstyle:

  • Offensive: Arcane Fury (Melee), Arcane Acceleration (Fire Rate), Arcane Avenger (Flat Crit Chance)

  • Defensive/Utility: Arcane Aegis (Shield Regen), Arcane Guardian (Armor), Arcane Energize (Energy - though Equilibrium often suffices)

  • Hybrid: Often best to mix one offensive and one defensive.

• Archon Shards: Use these precious crimson crystals to patch stat deficiencies or push strengths further:

  • Casting Speed Shards: Highly recommended to free up mod slots.

  • Parkour Velocity Shards: Perfect if you adore Infernalis Flight.

  • Ability Strength/Health/Armor Shards: Solid choices to bolster core stats. Farm those Archons for the perfect combo!

Uriel transforms Warframe into a playground of fire and fury. Master his demons, charge his Brimstone, and paint the Origin System red... or rather, a very bright, scorching orange. 🔥😈
