Enthrall
Used by Revenant
Enthrall
Convert a target into a zealous thrall. Thralls turn on their allies and enthrall through damage. On death, they disintegrate into a damaging pillar of energy. The thrall horde remains under Revenants spell until this ability runs out.

Info

- Ability Strength, Duration, Range, and Efficiency each matter differently; check Mod Scaling below before dumping all four.

Cast Changes
- Modifies Enthrall with: Enthrall Augment: Gain +25% Primary Weapon Damage for each active Thrall.
- 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 Revenant.
- Skip it if the base Enthrall already does what you need and you’d rather keep the slot for survivability or strength.
Tips & Tricks
- Read the battlefield first — cast Enthrall when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
- Pair Enthrall with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
- On Steel Path, confirm whether Enthrall still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
- If you never press 1, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Revenant.

Mod Scaling
Strength
- Improves Enthrall’s damage or effect potency where Strength is listed on the ability.
Duration
- Duration is low priority on Enthrall unless an augment or lingering effect needs it.
Range
- Range is usually dumpable on Enthrall unless you feel the hitbox is too tight.
Efficiency
- Enthrall 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 Enthrall still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled. |
| Mobile Defense / Excavation | Use Enthrall to control or delete the swarm on the objective, then reposition. |
| Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs | Cast Enthrall only when it saves time — skip it on empty tiles. |
| Spy / Rescue / Quiet Routes | If Enthrall 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 — Enthrall is tuned for Revenant’s loop — don’t judge it as a standalone subsume without the rest of the kit.
