Playstyle

Blazing with glamor and armed with an Infested guitar, Lizzie, Temple’s power chords light the flames of revolution. Built around Pyrotechnics, Overdrive, Ripper's Wail.

Passive

Play abilities in sync with the Backbeat metronome to invigorate ability effects while increasing Ability Efficiency by an energy cost%.

When to Pick

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

Kit Overview

  • Pyrotechnics (Ability 1): Blast targeted enemies with pillars of Heat Damage.
  • Overdrive (Ability 2): Drive loudspeakers into epic distortion to create a damaging wave of Heat Damage while also increasing vulnerability to Critical Chance.
  • Ripper's Wail (Ability 3): Rip on the guitar to make Temple briefly invulnerable while healing them.
  • Exalted Solo (Ability 4): Once a charge has been built up on the Backbeat metronome, set Lizzie aflame and torch enemies with Heat.

Helminth / Subsume

  • Pyrotechnics is often the Helminth sacrifice if your build never needs Ability 1 and you’d rather import a strip, buff, or survival tool.
  • Keep Overdrive and later abilities when they define Temple’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 Temple’s Strength-scaling abilities.

Duration

Extends channeled / timed effects — often comfort on Temple if the kit leans on buffs or zones.

Range

Helps radius / targeting tools. Dump it if Temple 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 / ContextRatingWhy
Steel Path Survival / Defense / DisruptionExcellentTemple stays online in long Steel Path runs thanks to Pyrotechnics, not just raw weapon DPS. Blast targeted enemies with pillars of Heat Damage. Blazing with glamor and armed with an Infested guitar, Lizzie, Temple’s power chords light the flames of….
Mobile Defense / ExcavationExcellentOn Mobile Defense, Temple’s Pyrotechnics means fewer downed cryopods and less babysitting. Blast targeted enemies with pillars of Heat Damage. Blazing with glamor and armed with an Infested guitar, Lizzie, Temple’s power chords light the flames of….
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsSituationalUsable on speed runs, but Temple’s support / healer kit usually wants longer objectives than a 3-minute Exterminate. Blast targeted enemies with pillars of Heat Damage. Blazing with glamor and armed with an Infested guitar, Lizzie, Temple’s power chords light the flames of….
Spy / Rescue / NightmareSituationalOnly if you already know the vaults — Temple is not a Spy specialist and Pyrotechnics won’t save a loud play. Blast targeted enemies with pillars of Heat Damage.
Open World / BountiesStrongStrong on packed bounty camps; Temple still leans on Operator / Archwing for the empty travel stretches while Pyrotechnics handles fights. Blast targeted enemies with pillars of Heat Damage. Blazing with glamor and armed with an Infested guitar, Lizzie, Temple’s power chords light the flames of….
Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style ContentWeakTemple wants pack clear or finishers, not pure long-range; Exalted Solo won’t save an Eidolon-style loadout. Once a charge has been built up on the Backbeat metronome, set Lizzie aflame and torch enemies with Heat. Blazing with glamor and armed with an Infested guitar, Lizzie, Temple’s power chords light the flames of….
