Inaros Scarab Swarm

[sidmarks1]

Hello Tennos

Can't make scarab swarm work on XB1

No amount of button pushing helps. Please help as I'm wearing the tips of my fingers out!

Many thanks for any help and sorry for being dumb.

in order to cast Scarab Swarm, you first need to cast Scarab Armour, you do this by holding RB and Y (I think that's the Xbox controller way), basically hold both the buttons you would use to cast your fourth power. you should notice your health draining, but NOT your energy. this means Inaros is powering up his Scarab Armour. hold it until the Icon next to your health reaches 100%, then use your Energy to get your health back Via Devour or Dessicate + Finisher move. on an enemy. to cast Scarab Swarm once your amour is active, just press the buttons for your fourth power like you normally would.

while your Scarab Armour is up, you have a major Armor increase and the Scarabs can take some health from enemies within Melee range. when you cast Scarab Swarm, enemies are stunned and you gain health when near them. the Scarabs can also spread to nearby targets. each Swarm cast costs 25% of your scarab armor, so you can do it up to 4 times. if you need to restore your armour, just hold the buttons down again to drain your health.

hope this helps.

The button you use to activate 4th ability? try to hold it, don't push it just hold it down.

Also having as much health on Inaros will help here since you will consume over 70% of the health with Vitality or over 95% without Vitality!

You need to charge up scarab swarm by holding your 4th ability. It will passively boost your base armor up to 100%. If you wanna cast scarab swarm, press your 4th ability again. Each time you cast scarab swarm you use 25 energy and 25% of your charge. Scarab swarm will probably consume around 2000+ hp if you wanna charge it to 100%.

You need to have a target under the crosshair to fire a swarm. Something is there with the animation that makes it unreliable. Or it's just teammates killing the target. Can be annoying, but Inaros is worth it.
