Helios is a tier 2 skill in Maya's Cataclysm skill tree. When Maya Phaselocks an enemy, a burst of fire will damage and ignite everything nearby.

Effects[]

  • Helios Damage Rank: +1 per level.
Level 1 2 3 4 5
Damage Rank +1 +2 +3 +4 +5
Level 6 7 8 9 10 11
Damage Rank +6 +7 +8 +9 +10 +11

Can only be leveled past 5 with Binder, Fox, Witch, and Legendary Binder class mods.

Notes[]

  • Helios will trigger each time Sub-Sequence diverts Phaselock to another target.
  • The damage inflicted by Helios scales linearly with rank in the skill, and exponentially with character level. More specifically, the base damage of Helios follows this formula:
    • 1.6 × R × 1.13L, where R is rank in Helios and L is the character's level.
  • The Burn damage bonus from a Fox class mod does not increase the initial detonation damage but does increase the subsequent ignition damage over time.
  • A fire Elemental Relic increases both the initial damage and damage over time.
  • As of the October 2015 Patch, Helios now detonates even if the target cannot be Phaselocked.
