Mission Usefulness

Mission / ContextRatingWhy
Steel Path Survival / Defense / DisruptionStrongDense missions are where most Wisp augments prove whether they belong in the build.
Mobile Defense / ExcavationSituationalWorth it if the augment helps hold or clear the objective faster.
Casual Star-Chart FarmsSituationalOften skippable when base abilities already overkill the content.

Tips & Tricks

  • Try one mission with and without it on Wisp before locking the slot.
  • If you Helminth over Breach Surge, this augment usually becomes irrelevant on that loadout.
