Playstyle

Become enraptured by the song of devastation. Built around Light's Judgment, Symphony Of Mercy, Ophanim Eyes.

Passive

Jade's profound understanding of the relationship between life and death grants her two Aura Mod Slots. Some of her Abilities apply Judgments, increasing enemy damage vulnerability by a percentage for several seconds.

When to Pick

You want a support / healer toolkit and Jade’s fantasy matches the mission.
Your squad is missing what Jade brings — especially Light's Judgment.
You already own the mods / archon shards that make Jade’s scaling comfortable on Steel Path.

Kit Overview

Light's Judgment (Ability 1): Create a well of light that heals allies and hurts enemies.
Symphony Of Mercy (Ability 2): Cycle through three songs that strengthen allies.
Ophanim Eyes (Ability 3): Jade summons an accusatory gaze that slows nearby enemies and dissolves their Shields and Armor.

Helminth / Subsume

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

Mod Scaling

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

Priority

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

Mission Usefulness

Mission / Context	Rating	Why
Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption	Strong	Solid Steel Path pick — Jade won’t hard-carry every tile, but Light's Judgment keeps the run stable. Create a well of light that heals allies and hurts enemies.
Mobile Defense / Excavation	Excellent	Jade wins Mobile Defense / Excavation by parking Light's Judgment on the objective instead of chasing stragglers. Create a well of light that heals allies and hurts enemies.
Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs	Situational	Usable on speed runs, but Jade’s support / healer kit usually wants longer objectives than a 3-minute Exterminate. Create a well of light that heals allies and hurts enemies.
Spy / Rescue / Nightmare	Situational	Only if you already know the vaults — Jade is not a Spy specialist and Light's Judgment won’t save a loud play. Create a well of light that heals allies and hurts enemies.
Open World / Bounties	Strong	Strong on packed bounty camps; Jade still leans on Operator / Archwing for the empty travel stretches while Light's Judgment handles fights. Create a well of light that heals allies and hurts enemies. Become enraptured by the song of devastation.
Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content	Weak	Jade wants pack clear or finishers, not pure long-range; Light's Judgment won’t save an Eidolon-style loadout. Create a well of light that heals allies and hurts enemies.
