Kullervo vs Revenant
Same Support / Healer fantasy — which support kit fits your squad and mission rota?
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Kullervo if…
- Kullervo answers for his sins and the sins of others — that's the Kullervo pitch you want on the roster.
- You'd rather build around Collective Curse than live in Revenant's Reave loop.
- You're buying into Kullervo's passive — kullervo boasts +a percentage Heavy Attack Efficiency and +wind-up% Heavy Attack Wind Up Speed….
Pick Revenant if…
- You want the squad gap filled by Revenant's vibe — Macabre spectral power has risen.
- Kullervo's pitch (“Kullervo answers for his sins and the sins of others”) 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 Kullervo for Collective Curse and Collective Curse; lean Revenant for Reave and Reave. Mission Usefulness is where they split: speed clears (Excellent vs Situational — edge Kullervo); long-range / Eidolon (Weak vs Excellent — edge Revenant).
