Follie vs Inaros
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.
- This slot should feel like Forced Perspective, Shadowgraph, and Plein Air, not a reskin of Inaros's Desiccation, Sandstorm, and Scarab Swarm.
- You value Follie's orb-efficiency passive for longer ability spam on dense holds.
Pick Inaros if…
- Inaros commands the fearsome desert — that's the Inaros pitch you want on the roster.
- You'd rather build around Scarab Shell than live in Follie's Self Portrait loop.
- You're buying into Inaros's passive — when Inaros takes lethal damage, he entombs himself in a sarcophagus and incarnates as sand to….
Verdict
Both fill the Support / Healer lane. Lean Follie for orb economy and Self Portrait; lean Inaros for Scarab Shell and Scarab Shell. Mission Usefulness is where they split: Steel Path (Excellent vs Strong — edge Follie).

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.
Inaros
- Scarab Shell carries mid-mission casts; Scarab Swarm 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.
- Inaros shines on tile clears where ability damage — not just weapons — carries the pack.
