Pick Voruna if…

- You're buying into Voruna's passive — voruna never fights alone.
Verdict
Both fill the Stealth / Utility lane. Lean Cyte-09 for Evade and Evade; lean Voruna for Lycath's Hunt and Lycath's Hunt. Mission Usefulness is where they split: long-range / Eidolon (Excellent vs Weak — edge Cyte-09).
