Sevagoth vs Wukong
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 Wukong's Defy 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 Wukong if…
- You want the squad gap filled by Wukong's vibe — The simian warrior is a mountain of strength.
- Sevagoth's pitch (“No longer adrift in the Void, Sevagoth has returned”) isn't what you're missing — Defy is.
- You're buying into Wukong's passive — after taking fatal damage Wukong automatically uses one of his mastered survival techniques.
Verdict
Both fill the Support / Healer lane. Lean Sevagoth for Gloom and Gloom; lean Wukong for Defy and Defy. Mission Usefulness is where they split: Steel Path (Strong vs Excellent — edge Wukong).

Wukong
- Defy carries mid-mission casts; Primal Fury 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.

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