When to Pick

You want a crowd control toolkit and Nezha’s fantasy matches the mission.
Your squad is missing what Nezha brings — especially Fire Walker.
You already own the mods / archon shards that make Nezha’s scaling comfortable on Steel Path.

Helminth / Subsume

Fire Walker is often the Helminth sacrifice if your build never needs Ability 1 and you’d rather import a strip, buff, or survival tool.
Keep Blazing Chakram and later abilities when they define Nezha’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 Nezha’s Strength-scaling abilities.
Duration: Extends channeled / timed effects — often comfort on Nezha if the kit leans on buffs or zones.
Range: Helps radius / targeting tools. Dump it if Nezha 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	Excellent	Nezha is a S-tier Steel Path pick because Fire Walker still works when every spawn is overlevelled. Blaze a trail of flames, scorching enemies and cleansing allies.
Mobile Defense / Excavation	Excellent	Nezha wins Mobile Defense / Excavation by parking Fire Walker on the objective instead of chasing stragglers. Blaze a trail of flames, scorching enemies and cleansing allies.
Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs	Excellent	Speed runs favor Nezha because Fire Walker skips empty rooms and ends the mission early. Blaze a trail of flames, scorching enemies and cleansing allies.
Spy / Rescue / Nightmare	Strong	Nezha can handle Spy / Nightmare with Fire Walker as soft stealth or hard CC, even if it isn’t full invis. Blaze a trail of flames, scorching enemies and cleansing allies.
Open World / Bounties	Strong	Strong on packed bounty camps; Nezha still leans on Operator / Archwing for the empty travel stretches while Fire Walker handles fights. Blaze a trail of flames, scorching enemies and cleansing allies. The mercurial firemonger protects the innocent.
Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content	Weak	Nezha wants pack clear or finishers, not pure long-range; Fire Walker won’t save an Eidolon-style loadout. Blaze a trail of flames, scorching enemies and cleansing allies.
