First Gloom

Learn the frame.

Best for: Star Chart, first Sevagoth, anyone scared of the Death Well

Gloom is a slow aura that heals you when you shoot people inside it. Learn the drain before you touch the Shadow.

Gloom is Sevagoth. The slow plus lifesteal is why other frames steal this ability.

Best for: Junctions through the Outer Terminus. Steel Path is the next card, not this one.

Gloom is a slow aura that heals you when you shoot people inside it. Learn the drain before you touch the Shadow. Primed Continuity and Primed Flow are the first real upgrade — not Blind Rage.

Sow and Reap — Steel Path

Your first endgame-capable version.

Best for: Steel Path Star Chart, Circuit, first Archon. Helminth is the next card.

Dark Propagation plants Sow on Reap and spreads it on death. Gloom holds them still. Rooms fold. This is the peak you can run the day Steel Path unlocks — galvanized / arcanes, no Helminth.

Dark Propagation is why Sow/Reap beat 'just Gloom and a gun' in 2026.

Best for: People who picked Sevagoth for the ghost, Steel Path melee, the other half of the kit

Fill the Death Well, press 4, become the Shadow. Claws are a real melee. Embrace groups, Harvest pops, Reave through the pile.

The Shadow is a second Warframe with a melee grid. If that grid is empty, press 4 is a fashion show.

Your first endgame-capable version.

Best for: Defense, Disruption, friends who keep going down, the 'I subsumed Gloom onto everyone else so I might as well use the original' crowd

Max Range, Strength to the slow cap, Efficiency so the drain does not grief you. The squad heals inside your circle.

Native Gloom is still the best version. Helminth Gloom on a teammate is a copy; this is the original with Sow/Reap attached.

Gloom Guns

Only if you actually need it.

Best for: Incarnons, snipers, people who want Gloom's heal without managing a Shadow grid

Roar over Reap. Gloom is the tank. Sow is optional cook. The gun does the killing inside the slow.

Helminth Reap, keep Gloom. That is the rule. Gloom is the identity, Reap is the caster button.

Key mistakes

Pressing 4 with empty claws
The Shadow is a melee. Blood Rush or go home.
Gloom in a 40-enemy tile with no efficiency
The drain is per body. Toggle off, kill some, toggle on.
Helminthing Gloom
Then you are a worse Nekros with a scythe. Subsume Reap instead if you want a gun.
