Info
- Condemn is Harrow’s ability 1.
- Cast a wave of energy that chains them where they stand.
- Use it with the rest of the kit — especially Penance, Thurible — instead of casting it in isolation.
- Ability Strength, Duration, Range, and Efficiency each matter differently; check Mod Scaling below before dumping all four.

Cast Changes
- Modifies Condemn with: Condemn Augment: Other players will trigger 100% of the effects of Penance and Thurible when attacking chained enemies.
- Rank up the augment to unlock the full effect values.
- Costs a mod slot (and capacity) — only equip it when the change matters for your loop.
Worth the Slot?
- Worth it when the augment’s change is central to how you play Harrow.
- Skip it if the base Condemn already does what you need and you’d rather keep the slot for survivability or strength.
Tips & Tricks
- Read the battlefield first — cast Condemn when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
- Pair Condemn with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
- On Steel Path, confirm whether Condemn still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
- If you never press 1, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Harrow.

Mod Scaling
Strength
- Improves Condemn’s damage or effect potency where Strength is listed on the ability.
Duration
- Duration is low priority on Condemn unless an augment or lingering effect needs it.
Range
- Range is usually dumpable on Condemn unless you feel the hitbox is too tight.
Efficiency
- Condemn costs energy each cast — Efficiency (or strong regen) keeps the loop comfortable on long missions.
Priority
Stack the stats that actually move this ability’s needle, then Efficiency for uptime.
Mission Use Cases
| Mission | How to Use It |
|---|---|
| Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption | Test whether Condemn still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled. |
| Mobile Defense / Excavation | Use Condemn to control or delete the swarm on the objective, then reposition. |
| Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs | Cast Condemn only when it saves time — skip it on empty tiles. |
| Spy / Rescue / Quiet Routes | If Condemn is loud or forces combat, save it for after the vault; if it’s stealth-friendly, use it to stay safe. |
Comparisons

Vs similar tools on other frames — Condemn is tuned for Harrow’s loop — don’t judge it as a standalone subsume without the rest of the kit.
