Revenant vs Trinity
Same Support / Healer fantasy — which support kit fits your squad and mission rota?
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Revenant if…
- You want the squad gap filled by Revenant's vibe — Macabre spectral power has risen.
- You'd rather build around Reave than live in Trinity's Link loop.
- You want Revenant's knockdown / disruption immunity while pressing the clear button.
Pick Trinity if…
- Trinity embodies redemption and health — that's the Trinity pitch you want on the roster.
- Revenant's pitch (“Macabre spectral power has risen”) isn't what you're missing — Link is.
- You're buying into Trinity's passive — allies in Affinity Range gain a percentage of Trinity's Max Energy as Health.
Verdict
Both fill the Support / Healer lane. Lean Revenant for Reave and Reave; lean Trinity for Link and Link. Mission Usefulness is a wash — decide on kit feel and passive, not the rating table.

Trinity

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