Grendel vs Harrow
Same Support / Healer fantasy — which support kit fits your squad and mission rota?
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Grendel if…
- You want the squad gap filled by Grendel's vibe — Grendel sees every battlefield as a smorgasbord.
- Harrow's pitch (“Achieve redemption through vengeance”) isn't what you're missing — Pulverize is.
- You're buying into Grendel's passive — each enemy consumed grants bonus bonus armor.
Pick Harrow if…
- You want the squad gap filled by Harrow's vibe — Achieve redemption through vengeance.
- This slot should feel like Condemn, Penance, and Covenant, not a reskin of Grendel's Feast, Nourish, and Regurgitate.
- You're buying into Harrow's passive — overshield capacity doubled.
Verdict
Both fill the Support / Healer lane. Lean Grendel for Pulverize and Pulverize; lean Harrow for Thurible and Thurible. Mission Usefulness is where they split: speed clears (Situational vs Excellent — edge Harrow).
