Info

  • Glory On High is Jade’s ability 4.
  • Soar with destructive power.
  • Use it with the rest of the kit — especially Light's Judgment, Symphony Of Mercy — instead of casting it in isolation.
  • Ability Strength, Duration, Range, and Efficiency each matter differently; check Mod Scaling below before dumping all four.

Tips & Tricks

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

Comparisons

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