Moros Chain Detonation

Fireballs from your Attack explode the instant your orbiting ring touches them. Keeps constant area pressure while the ring also blocks incoming projectiles.

Ygnium

Umbral Flames

Twin torches that stream homing spirit fire. The Special leaves an orbiting ring that blocks enemy projectiles while it spins.

Fireballs detonate when your orbiting ring touches them

Aspect of Moros

Fireballs from your Attack explode the moment your orbiting ring touches them, dealing area damage. This turns every shot into a chain reaction and makes Moros the highest sustained-damage Aspect on the weapon.

Boon priority

  1. 1Zeus Attack — every chain explosion applies Blitz
  2. 2Hestia Flame Strike, then Poseidon Wave Strike for Scalding Water
  3. 3Any second curse so Origination is active
  4. 4Gain boon — the ring needs to be recast often

Playstyle

Keep the ring up at all times. It is simultaneously your detonator and your projectile shield, so letting it lapse costs you both.

Fire into the ring rather than away from it — detonations only happen where fireballs and the ring intersect.

Against single targets, stand so the ring clips the boss on every rotation to maximise explosion frequency.

Recommended Duo Boons

Poseidon + Hestia

Scalding Water

Scalding Water solves the one weakness of Scorch builds: burn damage is slow, and bosses often die before the damage-over-time pays off. This duo lets you cash in the entire stack instantly. The trade-off is that consuming the stacks resets your burn, so the duo favours burst windows over sustained pressure.
