Info
- Pull is Mag’s ability 1.
- Mag stuns enemies as she manifests a magnetic vortex.
- Use it with the rest of the kit — especially Magnetize, Polarize — instead of casting it in isolation.
- Ability Strength, Duration, Range, and Efficiency each matter differently; check Mod Scaling below before dumping all four.
Augment
Greedy Pull
Pull Augment: Adds 100% chance to pull pickups towards Mag.
MagPull Augment: Adds 100% chance to pull pickups towards Mag.
Max rank drain ~9; see rank table on the augment page.
Cast Changes
- Modifies Pull with: Pull Augment: Adds 100% chance to pull pickups towards Mag.
- 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 Mag.
- Skip it if the base Pull already does what you need and you’d rather keep the slot for survivability or strength.
Tips & Tricks
- Read the battlefield first — cast Pull when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
- Pair Pull with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
- On Steel Path, confirm whether Pull still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
- If you never press 1, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Mag.

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