Passive

Yareli gains +a percentage Critical Chance for Secondary weapons when she has been moving for at least several seconds.

When to Pick

You want Yareli’s kit with Prime polarities / stats.
You want a summoner / companion toolkit and Yareli’s fantasy matches the mission.
Your squad is missing what Yareli brings — especially Sea Snares.

Helminth / Subsume

Sea Snares is often the Helminth sacrifice if your build never needs Ability 1 and you’d rather import a strip, buff, or survival tool.
Keep Merulina and later abilities when they define Yareli’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 Yareli’s Strength-scaling abilities.
Duration: Extends channeled / timed effects — often comfort on Yareli if the kit leans on buffs or zones.
Range: Helps radius / targeting tools. Dump it if Yareli 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

Mobile Defense / Excavation	Strong	Yareli Prime can hold Mobile Defense / Excavation without sweating every spawn, mainly via Sea Snares. Form five water globules that seek out enemies and expand on contact, simultaneously damaging and immobilizing their…. The waverider can unleash a flood of destruction on the battlefield.
Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs	Situational	Usable on speed runs, but Yareli Prime’s summoner / companion kit usually wants longer objectives than a 3-minute Exterminate. Form five water globules that seek out enemies and expand on contact, simultaneously damaging and immobilizing their…. The waverider can unleash a flood of destruction on the battlefield.
Spy / Rescue / Nightmare	Weak	Loud kit. Leave Spy / Rescue to invis or silence frames; Sea Snares doesn’t make Yareli Prime quiet. Form five water globules that seek out enemies and expand on contact, simultaneously damaging and immobilizing their….
Open World / Bounties	Strong	Strong on packed bounty camps; Yareli Prime still leans on Operator / Archwing for the empty travel stretches while Sea Snares handles fights. Form five water globules that seek out enemies and expand on contact, simultaneously damaging and immobilizing their…. The waverider can unleash a flood of destruction on the battlefield.
Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content	Weak	Yareli Prime wants pack clear or finishers, not pure long-range; Sea Snares won’t save an Eidolon-style loadout. Form five water globules that seek out enemies and expand on contact, simultaneously damaging and immobilizing their…. The waverider can unleash a flood of destruction on the battlefield.
