Changes how Desecrate plays: Desecrate Augment: No longer consumes Energy, but consumes 10 Health per corpse instead.
Higher ranks usually improve the key magnitude or duration of the augment.

Equip Despoil when that change is part of your standard Nekros loop.
Skip it for generalist builds if capacity is tighter on survivability or parkour mods.

Mission / Context	Rating	Why
Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption	Strong	Dense missions are where most Nekros augments prove whether they belong in the build.
Mobile Defense / Excavation	Situational	Worth it if the augment helps hold or clear the objective faster.
Casual Star-Chart Farms	Situational	Often skippable when base abilities already overkill the content.

Read the max-rank text — Despoil often only feels complete at rank 3.
Try one mission with and without it on Nekros before locking the slot.
If you Helminth over Desecrate, this augment usually becomes irrelevant on that loadout.
