Sevagoth vs Styanax
Same Support / Healer fantasy — which support kit fits your squad and mission rota?
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.
- You'd rather build around Gloom than live in Styanax's Rally Point loop.
- 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 Styanax if…
- You're sold on Styanax's fantasy (Styanax never wonders how many enemies he will face, only where he can find them) more than another Support / Healer option.
- You'd rather build around Rally Point than live in Sevagoth's Gloom loop.
- You're buying into Styanax's passive — styanax's critical chance increases with his shields and doubles for spearguns.
Verdict
Both fill the Support / Healer lane. Lean Sevagoth for Gloom and Gloom; lean Styanax for Rally Point and Rally Point. Mission Usefulness is a wash — decide on kit feel and passive, not the rating table.

- DUR
- Extends channeled / timed effects — often comfort on Sevagoth if the kit leans on buffs or zones.

- EFF
- Keeps ability uptime comfortable, especially on longer Steel Path missions.
