Playstyle

Wisp floats between the material and the ethereal. Built around Reservoirs, Wil-O-Wisp, Breach Surge.

Passive

Flowing between dimensions, Wisp becomes invisible to enemies while in the air.

When to Pick

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

Helminth / Subsume

Reservoirs is often the Helminth sacrifice if your build never needs Ability 1 and you’d rather import a strip, buff, or survival tool.
Keep Wil-O-Wisp and later abilities when they define Wisp’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 Wisp’s Strength-scaling abilities.
Duration: Extends channeled / timed effects — often comfort on Wisp if the kit leans on buffs or zones.
Range: Helps radius / targeting tools. Dump it if Wisp 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	Wisp holds up on Steel Path as a stealth / utility; invest Forma if you plan to main Reservoirs. Choose and summon a Reservoir filled with Motes that attach to and aid Wisp and her allies.
Mobile Defense / Excavation	Excellent	Bring Wisp when the objective can’t move — Reservoirs is built for standing your ground. Choose and summon a Reservoir filled with Motes that attach to and aid Wisp and her allies.
Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs	Excellent	Wisp clears short missions cleanly — Reservoirs is the mobility / burst button that matters. Choose and summon a Reservoir filled with Motes that attach to and aid Wisp and her allies.
Spy / Rescue / Nightmare	Excellent	Spy / Rescue / Nightmare is trivialized by Wisp’s Wil-O-Wisp — quiet routes without dumping your combat kit. Cast forward a spectral image of Wisp to confuse and distract enemies. Wisp floats between the material and the ethereal.
Open World / Bounties	Strong	Strong on packed bounty camps; Wisp still leans on Operator / Archwing for the empty travel stretches while Reservoirs handles fights. Choose and summon a Reservoir filled with Motes that attach to and aid Wisp and her allies.
Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content	Weak	Wisp wants pack clear or finishers, not pure long-range; Reservoirs won’t save an Eidolon-style loadout. Choose and summon a Reservoir filled with Motes that attach to and aid Wisp and her allies.
