Sevagoth vs Temple
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.
- This slot should feel like Reap, Sow, and Exalted Shadow, not a reskin of Temple's Pyrotechnics, Overdrive, and Exalted Solo.
- 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 Temple if…
- You want the squad gap filled by Temple's vibe — Blazing with glamor and armed with an Infested guitar, Lizzie, Temple’s power chords light the….
- Sevagoth's pitch (“No longer adrift in the Void, Sevagoth has returned”) isn't what you're missing — Ripper's Wail is.
- You're buying into Temple's passive — play abilities in sync with the Backbeat metronome to invigorate ability effects while….
Verdict
Both fill the Support / Healer lane. Lean Sevagoth for Gloom and Gloom; lean Temple for Ripper's Wail and Ripper's Wail. Mission Usefulness is where they split: Steel Path (Strong vs Excellent — edge Temple).

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.
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
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.

Who Should You Pull?
- 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.
- Temple 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.
- 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 Sevagoth 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 Sevagoth craft.
