Mission Usefulness

  • Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption

    Excellent

    Day Maim nuke deletes soft SP packs; Rage and Provoke amp the charge.

  • Mobile Defense / Excavation

    Excellent

    Charge Maim on the point, release for a room wipe.

  • Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs

    Excellent

    Maim clears tiles fast once charged.

  • Spy / Rescue / Nightmare

    Weak

    Loud Day nuke — not stealth.

  • Open World / Bounties

    Strong

    Camp clumps charge Maim well.

  • Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content

    Weak

    Maim wants packed mid-range enemies.
