Thurible

Channel Harrow's energy into the Thurible to generate a buff. Once finished, kill enemies to bestow nearby allies with bursts of energy. The more energy channeled the greater the reward for each kill. Headshots produce extra energy.

Cast Changes

  1. Modifies Thurible with: Thurible Augment: Allies in range take 50% less Damage while channeling Thurible and grant 1.0 additional Energy charge whenever damaged.
  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 Harrow.
  2. Skip it if the base Thurible already does what you need and you’d rather keep the slot for survivability or strength.

Tips & Tricks

  • Read the battlefield first — cast Thurible when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
  • Pair Thurible with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
  • On Steel Path, confirm whether Thurible still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
  • If you never press 3, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Harrow.

Mod Scaling

Strength

Strength matters if Thurible scales effect power; otherwise dump it for other stats.

Duration

Duration is low priority on Thurible unless an augment or lingering effect needs it.

Range

Increases Thurible’s reach, radius, or targeting distance.

Efficiency

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