Follie vs Uriel
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.
- Uriel's pitch (“To fight as the Heretic of Xata is to have demons at your back”) isn't what you're missing — Self Portrait is.
- You value Follie's orb-efficiency passive for longer ability spam on dense holds.
Pick Uriel if…
- You're sold on Uriel's fantasy (To fight as the Heretic of Xata is to have demons at your back) more than another Support / Healer option.
- This slot should feel like Infernalis, Remedium, and Brimstone, not a reskin of Follie's Forced Perspective, Shadowgraph, and Plein Air.
- You're buying into Uriel's passive — uriel commands, empowers, and protects three unique demons.
Verdict
Both fill the Support / Healer lane. Lean Follie for orb economy and Self Portrait; lean Uriel for Demonium and Demonium. 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.
Uriel
- Demonium carries mid-mission casts; Brimstone is the density payoff.
- Fights where Heat stays painted on packs so Uriel's Affinity-Range Strength passive stacks.
- Dense spawns where Uriel'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.

- 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.
