Follie vs Jade
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.
- You'd rather build around Self Portrait than live in Jade's Ophanim Eyes loop.
- You value Follie's orb-efficiency passive for longer ability spam on dense holds.
Pick Jade if…
- You want the squad gap filled by Jade's vibe — Become enraptured by the song of devastation.
- This slot should feel like Light's Judgment, Symphony Of Mercy, and Glory On High, not a reskin of Follie's Forced Perspective, Shadowgraph, and Plein Air.
- You're buying into Jade's passive — jade's profound understanding of the relationship between life and death grants her two Aura Mod….
Verdict
Both fill the Support / Healer lane. Lean Follie for orb economy and Self Portrait; lean Jade for Ophanim Eyes and Ophanim Eyes. 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.
Jade
- Ophanim Eyes carries mid-mission casts; Glory On High 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.
- Dense spawns where Jade's cast cadence outpaces gun-only clears.
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.
