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

Who Should You Pull?
- Ophanim Eyes into Glory On High is the cast story you want to master — not a random subsume mashup.
- Your favorite clear starts on Light's Judgment and ends on Glory On High — Jade is built for that arc.
- Sevagoth's Gloom loop asks for a different muscle memory than you want to practice.
- Vazarin on the aura slot matches the school you're already building weapons around.
- Potato + Forma budget this month has Jade's name on it.
- Gloom into Exalted Shadow is the cast story you want to master — not a random subsume mashup.
- Squad comps where someone has to own tile clear alone — Sevagoth is the frame you trust for that job.
- Jade can stay on the shelf; Sevagoth is the one you'll actually Forma twice.
- Even after Helminth, Sow and later abilities are still the reason Sevagoth earned potato.
- Your endgame loadout screen should show Sevagoth before it shows another same-role experiment.
