Info

  • Inaros expends EnergyOrb100 energy to hurl swarms of scarabs that travel up to AbilityRangeBuff20 / 22 / 25 / 30 meters away, infesting all enemies in their path. Swarmed enemies will flail in panic and receive 5% / 6.5% / 8% / 10% of Inaros' max Health as DmgCorrosiveSmall64 Corrosive damage with a guaranteed status effect per half second for AbilityDurationBuff6 / 10 / 12 / 15 seconds, during which they are completely disabled. While active, Scarab Swarm splits a flying swarm every ? seconds to spread to an unaffected enemy within a AbilityRangeBuff12 meter radius from a swarm host for its remaining duration.
    • Launching a Scarab Swarm on an enemy that is still under the effects of another Scarab Swarm, will not refresh the debuff.
    • Scarab Swarm's projectile possesses innate punch through but does not bypass obstacles in the environment.
  • When an enemy affected by Scarab Swarm dies, they spawn a friendly Swarm Kavat that scratches enemies to spread Scarab Swarm. A maximum of 3 Swarm Kavats can spawn, each lasting 20 seconds.
    • Number of active Swarm Kavats are tracked as a buff icon beside Inaros' hitpoints indicator.
    • Swarm Kavat-inflicted Scarab Swarm does not spread flying swarms.
  • Ability Synergy:
    • Swarm Kavat claw swipes contribute as hits toward Inaros' revival via his Passive.
    • Mod TT 20px Desiccation's Curse allows Finisher kills to summon a Swarm Kavat and increases the maximum limit of Swarm Kavats to 5.

Tips & Tricks

  • It is more energy efficient to cast a Scarab Swarm attack on a single enemy in the middle of a large, clustered group, and allowing the swarm spreading effect to infect all nearby enemies. This is particularly effective against Infested that naturally tend to clump together in groups.
