Harrow vs Revenant
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.
- Revenant's pitch (“Macabre spectral power has risen”) isn't what you're missing — Thurible is.
- You're buying into Harrow's passive — overshield capacity doubled.
Pick Revenant if…
- You want the squad gap filled by Revenant's vibe — Macabre spectral power has risen.
- This slot should feel like Enthrall, Mesmer Skin, and Danse Macabre, not a reskin of Harrow's Condemn, Penance, and Covenant.
- You want Revenant's knockdown / disruption immunity while pressing the clear button.
Verdict
Both fill the Support / Healer lane. Lean Harrow for Thurible and Thurible; lean Revenant for Reave and Reave. Mission Usefulness is where they split: speed clears (Excellent vs Situational — edge Harrow); long-range / Eidolon (Weak vs Excellent — edge Revenant).

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.
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
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.

Who Should You Pull?
- 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 Revenant frees a craft slot — you'd rather finish Harrow properly.
- Harrow rates higher on speed clears (Excellent vs Situational) — that rota is where you actually play.
- Inventory space / foundry queue: Harrow jumps the line over another Revenant craft.
- Reave into Danse Macabre is the cast story you want to master — not a random subsume mashup.
- Mesmer Skin and later abilities stay on the frame forever in your builds — you're not looking for a subsume tourist.
- Harrow's Thurible loop asks for a different muscle memory than you want to practice.
- You're done shopping the Support / Healer aisle once Revenant is online.
- If you only rank one more Warframe to 30 this week, it should be Revenant.
