Info

Rakhali's Cavalry is Dagath’s ability 4.
Phantom Kaithes charge forth, inflicting Viral Damage upon all in their path.
Use it with the rest of the kit — especially Wyrd Scythes, Doom — instead of casting it in isolation.
Ability Strength, Duration, Range, and Efficiency each matter differently; check Mod Scaling below before dumping all four.

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

Mission	How to Use It
Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption	Test whether Rakhali's Cavalry still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled.
Mobile Defense / Excavation	Use Rakhali's Cavalry to control or delete the swarm on the objective, then reposition.
Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs	Cast Rakhali's Cavalry only when it saves time — skip it on empty tiles.
Spy / Rescue / Quiet Routes	If Rakhali's Cavalry is loud or forces combat, save it for after the vault; if it’s stealth-friendly, use it to stay safe.

VS
Vs similar tools on other frames — Rakhali's Cavalry is tuned for Dagath’s loop — don’t judge it as a standalone subsume without the rest of the kit.
