When Each Shines
Jade
- Ophanim Eyes carries mid-mission casts; Glory On High 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 Jade's cast cadence outpaces gun-only clears.
Temple
- Ripper's Wail carries mid-mission casts; Exalted Solo 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 Temple's full ability loop instead of dabbling.
Mod Scaling Focus
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.
- Temple's Ripper's Wail 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.
- Ripper's Wail into Exalted Solo is the cast story you want to master — not a random subsume mashup.
- You'd rather specialize hard into Ripper's Wail than stay generic in the Support lane.
- Skipping Jade frees a craft slot — you'd rather finish Temple properly.
- Temple rates higher on Steel Path holds (Excellent vs Strong) — that rota is where you actually play.
- Inventory space / foundry queue: Temple jumps the line over another Jade craft.
