Helminth / Subsume

Wrathful Advance is often the Helminth sacrifice if your build never needs Ability 1 and you’d rather import a strip, buff, or survival tool.
Keep Recompense and later abilities when they define Kullervo’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 Kullervo’s Strength-scaling abilities.
Duration: Extends channeled / timed effects — often comfort on Kullervo if the kit leans on buffs or zones.
Range: Helps radius / targeting tools. Dump it if Kullervo 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 — Kullervo won’t hard-carry every tile, but Storm Of Ukko keeps the run stable. The Void answers Kullervo's invocation with a storm of daggers that rain down upon his enemies.
Mobile Defense / Excavation	Excellent	Kullervo wins Mobile Defense / Excavation by parking Wrathful Advance on the objective instead of chasing stragglers. (TAP) Kullervo charges a Heavy Attack, then teleports to his target and strikes.
Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs	Excellent	Speed runs favor Kullervo because Wrathful Advance skips empty rooms and ends the mission early. (TAP) Kullervo charges a Heavy Attack, then teleports to his target and strikes.
Spy / Rescue / Nightmare	Situational	Only if you already know the vaults — Kullervo is not a Spy specialist and Wrathful Advance won’t save a loud play. (TAP) Kullervo charges a Heavy Attack, then teleports to his target and strikes.
Open World / Bounties	Strong	Strong on packed bounty camps; Kullervo still leans on Operator / Archwing for the empty travel stretches while Wrathful Advance handles fights. (TAP) Kullervo charges a Heavy Attack, then teleports to his target and strikes. Kullervo answers for his sins and the sins of others.
Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content	Weak	Kullervo wants pack clear or finishers, not pure long-range; Wrathful Advance won’t save an Eidolon-style loadout. (TAP) Kullervo charges a Heavy Attack, then teleports to his target and strikes.
