  • Use it with the rest of the kit — especially Sow, Gloom — instead of casting it in isolation.

Cast Changes

  1. Modifies Reap with: Reap Augment: Increase Critical Chance by 50% on enemies inflicted with Death Harvest.
  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 Sevagoth.
  2. Skip it if the base Reap already does what you need and you’d rather keep the slot for survivability or strength.

Tips & Tricks

  • Read the battlefield first — cast Reap when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
  • Pair Reap with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
  • On Steel Path, confirm whether Reap still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
  • If you never press 1, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Sevagoth.

Mod Scaling

Strength

Improves Reap’s damage or effect potency where Strength is listed on the ability.

Duration

Extends how long Reap’s effect lasts.

Range

Range is usually dumpable on Reap unless you feel the hitbox is too tight.

Efficiency

Reap 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 Reap still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled.
Mobile Defense / ExcavationUse Reap to control or delete the swarm on the objective, then reposition.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsCast Reap only when it saves time — skip it on empty tiles.
Spy / Rescue / Quiet RoutesIf Reap 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 — Reap is tuned for Sevagoth’s loop — don’t judge it as a standalone subsume without the rest of the kit.
