Follie vs Harrow
Same Support / Healer fantasy — which support kit fits your squad and mission rota?
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Follie if…
- You're sold on Follie's fantasy (Follie, the merry, macabre Shadowgrapher, brings ink to life) more than another Support / Healer option.
- Harrow's pitch (“Achieve redemption through vengeance”) isn't what you're missing — Self Portrait is.
- You value Follie's orb-efficiency passive for longer ability spam on dense holds.
Pick Harrow if…
- You want the squad gap filled by Harrow's vibe — Achieve redemption through vengeance.
- Follie's pitch (“Follie, the merry, macabre Shadowgrapher, brings ink to life”) isn't what you're missing — Thurible is.
- You're buying into Harrow's passive — overshield capacity doubled.
Verdict
Both fill the Support / Healer lane. Lean Follie for orb economy and Self Portrait; lean Harrow for Thurible and Thurible. Mission Usefulness is where they split: Steel Path (Excellent vs Strong — edge Follie); speed clears (Situational vs Excellent — edge Harrow).

When Each Shines
Follie
- Self Portrait carries mid-mission casts; Plein Air is the density payoff.
- Long holds where energy comfort matters — Follie's loop stays online without babysitting orbs.
- Dense spawns where Follie's cast cadence outpaces gun-only clears.
Harrow
- Thurible carries mid-mission casts; Covenant 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 Harrow's full ability loop instead of dabbling.
Mod Scaling Focus
Follie
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 Follie’s Strength-scaling abilities.
- DUR
- Extends channeled / timed effects — often comfort on Follie if the kit leans on buffs or zones.
- RNG
- Helps radius / targeting tools. Dump it if Follie 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 Follie gets more mileage out of every pickup.
- Your favorite clear starts on Forced Perspective and ends on Plein Air — Follie is built for that arc.
- Harrow's Thurible loop asks for a different muscle memory than you want to practice.
- Follie rates higher on Steel Path holds (Excellent vs Strong) — that rota is where you actually play.
- Potato + Forma budget this month has Follie's name on it.
- Thurible into Covenant is the cast story you want to master — not a random subsume mashup.
- You'd rather specialize hard into Thurible than stay generic in the Support lane.
- Skipping Follie frees a craft slot — you'd rather finish Harrow properly.
- Harrow rates higher on speed clears (Excellent vs Situational) — that rota is where you actually play.
- Inventory space / foundry queue: Harrow jumps the line over another Follie craft.
