Dagath vs Temple
Same Support / Healer fantasy — which support kit fits your squad and mission rota?
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Dagath if…
- Never underestimate the power and wrath of sullen sadness — that's the Dagath pitch you want on the roster.
- Temple's pitch (“Blazing with glamor and armed with an Infested guitar, Lizzie, Temple’s power chords light the…”) isn't what you're missing — Grave Spirit is.
- You value Dagath's orb-efficiency passive for longer ability spam on dense holds.
Pick Temple if…
- You want the squad gap filled by Temple's vibe — Blazing with glamor and armed with an Infested guitar, Lizzie, Temple’s power chords light the….
- Dagath's pitch (“Never underestimate the power and wrath of sullen sadness”) isn't what you're missing — Ripper's Wail is.
- You're buying into Temple's passive — play abilities in sync with the Backbeat metronome to invigorate ability effects while….
Verdict
Both fill the Support / Healer lane. Lean Dagath for orb economy and Grave Spirit; lean Temple for Ripper's Wail and Ripper's Wail. Mission Usefulness is a wash — decide on kit feel and passive, not the rating table.

When Each Shines
Dagath
- Grave Spirit carries mid-mission casts; Rakhali's Cavalry is the density payoff.
- Long holds where energy comfort matters — Dagath's loop stays online without babysitting orbs.
- Dagath shines on tile clears where ability damage — not just weapons — carries the pack.
Temple
- Ripper's Wail carries mid-mission casts; Exalted Solo is the density payoff.
- Mod focus stays on match the priority to your main ability so the cast loop doesn't fall over mid-rota.
- Missions that reward committing to Temple's full ability loop instead of dabbling.
Mod Scaling Focus
Dagath
Match the priority to your main ability — Strength or Duration first for most kits, then Efficiency, then Range.
- STR
- Raises damage and effect potency across Dagath’s Strength-scaling abilities.
- DUR
- Extends channeled / timed effects — often comfort on Dagath if the kit leans on buffs or zones.
- RNG
- Helps radius / targeting tools. Dump it if Dagath is mostly self-buff or exalted weapons.
- EFF
- Keeps ability uptime comfortable, especially on longer Steel Path missions.

Who Should You Pull?
- Energy / health orb rooms are common in your rota and Dagath gets more mileage out of every pickup.
- Doom and later abilities stay on the frame forever in your builds — you're not looking for a subsume tourist.
- Temple's Ripper's Wail loop asks for a different muscle memory than you want to practice.
- You're done shopping the Support / Healer aisle once Dagath is online.
- If you only rank one more Warframe to 30 this week, it should be Dagath.
- Ripper's Wail into Exalted Solo is the cast story you want to master — not a random subsume mashup.
- You'd rather specialize hard into Ripper's Wail than stay generic in the Support lane.
- Skipping Dagath frees a craft slot — you'd rather finish Temple properly.
- Open-world and bounty pacing still feel good on Temple, not only endless survival tiles.
- Inventory space / foundry queue: Temple jumps the line over another Dagath craft.
