Harrow vs Khora

Same Support / Healer fantasy — which support kit fits your squad and mission rota?

TL;DR — Quick Pick

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 Khora's Whipclaw, Ensnare, and Strangledome.
  • You're buying into Harrow's passive — overshield capacity doubled.

Pick Khora if…

  • You're sold on Khora's fantasy (Khora is red in whip and claw) more than another Support / Healer option.
  • You'd rather build around Venari than live in Harrow's Thurible loop.
  • You're buying into Khora's passive — the ferocious kavat, Venari, fights by Khora's side and provides her with an a percentage speed….
Verdict

Both fill the Support / Healer lane. Lean Harrow for Thurible and Thurible; lean Khora for Venari and Venari. Mission Usefulness is a wash — decide on kit feel and passive, not the rating table.

When Each Shines

Harrow

  • Thurible carries mid-mission casts; Covenant 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 Harrow's full ability loop instead of dabbling.

Khora

  • Venari carries mid-mission casts; Strangledome 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 Khora's cast cadence outpaces gun-only clears.

Mod Scaling Focus

Harrow

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 Harrow’s Strength-scaling abilities.
DUR
Extends channeled / timed effects — often comfort on Harrow if the kit leans on buffs or zones.
RNG
Helps radius / targeting tools. Dump it if Harrow is mostly self-buff or exalted weapons.
EFF
Keeps ability uptime comfortable, especially on longer Steel Path missions.

Khora

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 Khora’s Strength-scaling abilities.

Who Should You Pull?

Harrow
Pull Harrow if…
  • Thurible into Covenant is the cast story you want to master — not a random subsume mashup.
  • You'd rather specialize hard into Thurible than stay generic in the Support lane.
  • Skipping Khora frees a craft slot — you'd rather finish Harrow properly.
  • Open-world and bounty pacing still feel good on Harrow, not only endless survival tiles.
  • Inventory space / foundry queue: Harrow jumps the line over another Khora craft.

Khora
Pull Khora if…
  • Venari into Strangledome is the cast story you want to master — not a random subsume mashup.
  • Weapon damage still matters in your loadouts and Khora is the frame that amplifies that plan.
  • You've tried (or watched) Harrow and the Thurible fantasy didn't stick.
  • Your aura polarity plan was already Vazarin-first — Khora doesn't fight that.
  • You're chasing one strong Support main, and Khora is the candidate.
