Voruna vs Wisp
Same Stealth / Utility fantasy — which stealth kit fits your squad and mission rota?
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Voruna if…
- You're sold on Voruna's fantasy (Four beasts, one heart) more than another Stealth / Utility option.
- Wisp's pitch (“Wisp floats between the material and the ethereal”) isn't what you're missing — Lycath's Hunt is.
- You're buying into Voruna's passive — voruna never fights alone.
Pick Wisp if…
- Wisp floats between the material and the ethereal — that's the Wisp pitch you want on the roster.
- This slot should feel like Reservoirs, Wil-O-Wisp, and Sol Gate, not a reskin of Voruna's Shroud Of Dynar, Fangs Of Raksh, and Ulfrun's Descent.
- You want Wisp's passive stealth angle in the kit, not just the nukes.
Verdict
Both fill the Stealth / Utility lane. Lean Voruna for Lycath's Hunt and Lycath's Hunt; lean Wisp for passive stealth and Breach Surge. Mission Usefulness is where they split: objective defense (Strong vs Excellent — edge Wisp).

Wisp

- Mod focus stays on match the priority to your main ability so the cast loop doesn't fall over mid-rota.

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

Who Should You Pull?
