Temple
Match the priority to your main ability — Strength or Duration first for most kits, then Efficiency, then Range.

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

Who Should You Pull?
- Ripper's Wail into Exalted Solo is the cast story you want to master — not a random subsume mashup.

- Open-world and bounty pacing still feel good on Temple, not only endless survival tiles.
- Inventory space / foundry queue: Temple jumps the line over another Valkyr craft.
- Paralysis into Hysteria is the cast story you want to master — not a random subsume mashup.
- You'd rather specialize hard into Paralysis than stay generic in the Support lane.
- Skipping Temple frees a craft slot — you'd rather finish Valkyr properly.
- Valkyr rates higher on speed clears (Excellent vs Situational) — that rota is where you actually play.
- Inventory space / foundry queue: Valkyr jumps the line over another Temple craft.
