Wyrd Scythes is often the Helminth sacrifice if your build never needs Ability 1 and you’d rather import a strip, buff, or survival tool.
Keep Doom and later abilities when they define Dagath’s identity.
Never subsume the ability that enables the rest of the kit’s energy or survival loop.

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

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

Mission / Context	Rating	Why
Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption	Excellent	Dagath stays online in long Steel Path runs thanks to Wyrd Scythes, not just raw weapon DPS. Surround Dagath and seek out nearby enemies. Never underestimate the power and wrath of sullen sadness.
Mobile Defense / Excavation	Excellent	On Mobile Defense, Dagath’s Wyrd Scythes means fewer downed cryopods and less babysitting. Surround Dagath and seek out nearby enemies. Never underestimate the power and wrath of sullen sadness.
Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs	Situational	Usable on speed runs, but Dagath’s support / healer kit usually wants longer objectives than a 3-minute Exterminate. Surround Dagath and seek out nearby enemies. Never underestimate the power and wrath of sullen sadness.
Spy / Rescue / Nightmare	Situational	Only if you already know the vaults — Dagath is not a Spy specialist and Wyrd Scythes won’t save a loud play. Surround Dagath and seek out nearby enemies.
Open World / Bounties	Strong	Strong on packed bounty camps; Dagath still leans on Operator / Archwing for the empty travel stretches while Wyrd Scythes handles fights. Surround Dagath and seek out nearby enemies. Never underestimate the power and wrath of sullen sadness.
Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content	Weak	Dagath wants pack clear or finishers, not pure long-range; Wyrd Scythes won’t save an Eidolon-style loadout. Surround Dagath and seek out nearby enemies. Never underestimate the power and wrath of sullen sadness.
