Follie vs Revenant
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 Revenant's Reave loop.
- You value Follie's orb-efficiency passive for longer ability spam on dense holds.
Pick Revenant if…
- You want the squad gap filled by Revenant's vibe — Macabre spectral power has risen.
- Follie's pitch (“Follie, the merry, macabre Shadowgrapher, brings ink to life”) isn't what you're missing — Reave is.
- You want Revenant's knockdown / disruption immunity while pressing the clear button.
Verdict
Both fill the Support / Healer lane. Lean Follie for orb economy and Self Portrait; lean Revenant for Reave and Reave. Mission Usefulness is where they split: Steel Path (Excellent vs Strong — edge Follie); long-range / Eidolon (Weak vs Excellent — edge Revenant).

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.
Revenant
- Reave carries mid-mission casts; Danse Macabre 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.
- Revenant shines on tile clears where ability damage — not just weapons — carries the pack.
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.
Revenant

Who Should You Pull?

- 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.
