Jade vs Revenant
Same Support / Healer fantasy — which support kit fits your squad and mission rota?
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Jade if…
- You want the squad gap filled by Jade's vibe — Become enraptured by the song of devastation.
- You'd rather build around Ophanim Eyes than live in Revenant's Reave loop.
- You're buying into Jade's passive — jade's profound understanding of the relationship between life and death grants her two Aura Mod….
Pick Revenant if…
- You want the squad gap filled by Revenant's vibe — Macabre spectral power has risen.
- Jade's pitch (“Become enraptured by the song of devastation”) isn't what you're missing — Reave is.
- You want Revenant's knockdown / disruption immunity while pressing the clear button.
Verdict
Both fill the Support / Healer lane. Lean Jade for Ophanim Eyes and Ophanim Eyes; lean Revenant for Reave and Reave. Mission Usefulness is where they split: long-range / Eidolon (Weak vs Excellent — edge Revenant).
