Sevagoth vs Sirius & Orion

Sevagoth (Support / Healer) vs Sirius & Orion (Nuker / AoE DPS) — different jobs, overlapping pull questions.

TL;DR — Quick Pick

Pick Sevagoth if…

  • You want the squad gap filled by Sevagoth's vibe — No longer adrift in the Void, Sevagoth has returned.
  • Sirius & Orion's pitch (“Sirius & Orion are Jade and Stalker’s dueling sons — one Warframe slot, two separately moddable…”) isn't what you're missing — Gloom is.
  • You're buying into Sevagoth's passive — on death, become Sevagoth's Shadow and fight to resurrect him by collecting the souls needed to….

Pick Sirius & Orion if…

  • You want the squad gap filled by Sirius & Orion's vibe — Sirius & Orion are Jade and Stalker’s dueling sons — one Warframe slot, two separately moddable….
  • This slot should feel like Coronal Ejection, Jade Stars, and Event Horizon, not a reskin of Sevagoth's Reap, Sow, and Exalted Shadow.
  • You're buying into Sirius & Orion's passive — swapping between them grants Ability Efficiency for the next few casts.
Verdict

Sevagoth and Sirius & Orion answer different account needs (Support / Healer vs Nuker / AoE DPS). Pull Sevagoth when you need that role covered; pull Sirius & Orion when the other fantasy is the gap — don’t treat them as direct swaps.

When Each Shines

Sevagoth

  • Gloom carries mid-mission casts; Exalted Shadow 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.
  • Sevagoth shines on tile clears where ability damage — not just weapons — carries the pack.

Sirius & Orion

  • Light's Sanctuary carries mid-mission casts; Event Horizon is the density payoff.
  • Long holds where energy comfort matters — Sirius & Orion's loop stays online without babysitting orbs.
  • Missions that reward committing to Sirius & Orion's full ability loop instead of dabbling.

Mod Scaling Focus

Sevagoth

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

Sirius & Orion

Strength → Range → Duration → Efficiency for nuke/strip builds. Cast-speed shards help bank Constellation Stars faster for Clash.

STR
Strength raises Heat/Slash/Blast damage, Gravitic Slash’s strip percent, Sanctuary heal/DR, and Clash payload — the main nuke/strip stat on both sons.
DUR
Duration extends Jade Stars, Astral Shell, Light’s Sanctuary, and Event Horizon. Orion’s Duration controls black-hole extensions from scythe hits.
RNG
Range grows slash cones, Sanctuary/black-hole radii, Clash AoE, and pickup vacuum — high value for tile clear and objective holds.
EFF
Swap passive already refunds Efficiency on the next casts; still stack Efficiency so 15/50/100 energy costs stay comfortable on long Steel Path runs.

Who Should You Pull?

Sevagoth
Pull Sevagoth if…
  • 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.
  • Sirius & Orion 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.
