Build Details

How It Works

The main tool of this kit is the Proximity Throwing Knife that gets buffed immensely from the exotic Caliban's Hand. Throwing Knives will now apply 60 Scorch, cause Ignitions on kills, and grants 500% melee energy regeneration rate when the knife is stuck on a surface waiting to be detonated. The Ignition of Throwing Knife is buffed by the Ember of Eruption Fragment.

The other Fragments play around scorching and healing. Ember of Ashes will increase the amount of scorch you apply. When defeating a scorched enemy you will create a Firesprite and gain melee energy from Ember of Searing. Not only this will help get Throwing Knife back for a greatly increased uptime, but the Firesprite will grant restoration from Ember of Mercy. Ember of Empyrean will allow you to upkeep restoration's timer with solar weapon or ability final blows. Restoration initially lasts for only 2 seconds when picking up a Firesprite, so be sure to quickly reset the timer after picking up a Firesprite.

Due to this interaction with Ember of Empyrean, solar weapons are a must use. It is recommended to utilize a weapon with Incandescent to apply scorch to enemies, and in turn get the melee energy and Firesprite from Ember of Searing.

The means of orb creation are from melee kills from Heavy Handed, solar weapon kills from a Siphon mod, and any kill after using dodge from Reaper. Not only will a melee kill create an orb, but it will give super energy with Hands-On, and dealing damage with the melee or dodging will give grenade energy.
