Cast Changes
- Modifies Reroot with: Reroot Augment: Collecting Reroot orbs summons additional Sprodlings inflicting 250 Toxin Damage with increased Critical Chance each hit.
- 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 Nokko.
- Skip it if the base Reroot already does what you need and you’d rather keep the slot for survivability or strength.
Tips & Tricks
- Read the battlefield first — cast Reroot when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
- Pair Reroot with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
- On Steel Path, confirm whether Reroot still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
- If you never press 3, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Nokko.

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