Playstyle

Macabre spectral power has risen. Built around Enthrall, Mesmer Skin, Reave.

Passive

Shield depletion smashes enemies within a radius with a bonus Damage knockdown shockwave.

When to Pick

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

Kit Overview

Enthrall (Ability 1): Convert a target into a zealous thrall.
Mesmer Skin (Ability 2): Become enveloped in Sentient energy, redirecting damage and stunning all those who dare attack.
Reave (Ability 3): Dash through enemies as a wall of sentient energy, leeching shields and health from any encountered, enhanced for thralls.
Danse Macabre (Ability 4): Erupt with a multitude of Eidolon energy beams and sweep a circle of death around Revenant.

Helminth / Subsume

Enthrall is often the Helminth sacrifice if your build never needs Ability 1 and you’d rather import a strip, buff, or survival tool.
Keep Mesmer Skin and later abilities when they define Revenant’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 Revenant’s Strength-scaling abilities.
Duration: Extends channeled / timed effects — often comfort on Revenant if the kit leans on buffs or zones.
Range: Helps radius / targeting tools. Dump it if Revenant 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	Not the densest clearer, but Revenant plus Enthrall is enough for most Steel Path pubs. Convert a target into a zealous thrall. Macabre spectral power has risen.
Mobile Defense / Excavation	Excellent	On Mobile Defense, Revenant’s Enthrall means fewer downed cryopods and less babysitting. Convert a target into a zealous thrall. Macabre spectral power has risen.
Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs	Situational	Usable on speed runs, but Revenant’s support / healer kit usually wants longer objectives than a 3-minute Exterminate. Convert a target into a zealous thrall. Macabre spectral power has risen.
Spy / Rescue / Nightmare	Situational	Only if you already know the vaults — Revenant is not a Spy specialist and Enthrall won’t save a loud play. Convert a target into a zealous thrall.
Open World / Bounties	Strong	Strong on packed bounty camps; Revenant still leans on Operator / Archwing for the empty travel stretches while Enthrall handles fights. Convert a target into a zealous thrall. Macabre spectral power has risen.
Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content	Excellent	Long sightlines favor Revenant because Enthrall doesn’t need dense tiles to feel complete. Convert a target into a zealous thrall. Macabre spectral power has risen.
