Introduction
Welcome to Method’s Ardeos guide. I’m Nate, Multi-hero Paragon player during the beta and ex World First World of Warcraft Raider.
This guide will help you master everything you need to know for Ardeos.
If you have any questions you can find me on my socials:
Overview
Ardeos is a ranged spellcaster who utilizes powerful damage over time effects. He focuses on DoTs to increase his damage through Detonate, which costs his unique mechanic to use: Cinders.
Strengths:
- Massive burst windows with set-up
- Excellent mobility with Flickerstep and instant casts
Weaknesses:
- Heavily reliant on secondary stats
- Long multi-target set-up which is worse early on due to low Cinder generation
