Cast Changes

  1. Modifies Divine Spears with: Divine Spears Augment: Status Effects spread to all speared enemies.
  2. Rank up the augment to unlock the full effect values.
  3. Costs a mod slot (and capacity) — only equip it when the change matters for your loop.

Worth the Slot?

  1. Worth it when the augment’s change is central to how you play Nezha.
  2. Skip it if the base Divine Spears already does what you need and you’d rather keep the slot for survivability or strength.

Tips & Tricks

  • Read the battlefield first — cast Divine Spears when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
  • Pair Divine Spears with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
  • On Steel Path, confirm whether Divine Spears still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
  • If you never press 4, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Nezha.

Mod Scaling

Strength

Strength matters if Divine Spears scales effect power; otherwise dump it for other stats.

Duration

Duration is low priority on Divine Spears unless an augment or lingering effect needs it.

Range

Increases Divine Spears’s reach, radius, or targeting distance.

Efficiency

Divine Spears 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

MissionHow to Use It
Steel Path Survival / Defense / DisruptionTest whether Divine Spears still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled.
Mobile Defense / ExcavationUse Divine Spears to control or delete the swarm on the objective, then reposition.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsCast Divine Spears only when it saves time — skip it on empty tiles.
Spy / Rescue / Quiet RoutesIf Divine Spears is loud or forces combat, save it for after the vault; if it’s stealth-friendly, use it to stay safe.

Comparisons

  • VS

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