Follie vs Temple
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 Temple's Pyrotechnics, Overdrive, and Exalted Solo.
- You value Follie'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….
- This slot should feel like Pyrotechnics, Overdrive, and Exalted Solo, not a reskin of Follie's Forced Perspective, Shadowgraph, and Plein Air.
- 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 Follie for orb economy and Self Portrait; 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
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.
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
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.
- Temple's Ripper's Wail loop asks for a different muscle memory than you want to practice.
- Vazarin on the aura slot matches the school you're already building weapons around.
- Potato + Forma budget this month has Follie's name on it.
- 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 Follie 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 Follie craft.
