Understand Blinding Reave
Useful when…
- Extend Reave’s range and blind enemies caught in its fog.
- Use higher ranks when the longer blind duration is valuable and the rank cost fits.
What does Blinding Reave do?
This standard Revenant augment increases Reave’s range by 40% and blinds enemies affected by its fog. The range bonus is listed as +40% across the supplied ranks; the blind duration changes from 6 seconds at rank 0 to 8 seconds at rank 2 and 10 seconds at rank 3. No further range scaling by rank is listed.
How should I rank it?
The augment has maximum rank 3, base drain 6, and Zenurik polarity. Example fusion costs are 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits from rank 0 to 1, 60 Endo and 2,898 Credits from rank 1 to 2, and 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits from rank 2 to 3. Since the listed range increase is constant and rank improves blind duration, prioritize more ranks when that longer duration is useful enough to warrant the added cost and capacity.
How is it different from other Revenant augments?
Mesmer Shield modifies Mesmer Skin, listing +50% Mesmer Skin Strength and up to five charges for allies within Affinity Range. Thrall Pact modifies Enthrall and grants +25% Primary Weapon Damage per active Thrall. These effects use different Revenant abilities and conditions from Blinding Reave’s range and blind; they are distinct build choices rather than equivalent Reave upgrades.
What is the key limitation?
The blind applies to enemies affected by Reave’s fog. Do not interpret the augment as a general blind effect independent of Reave, or assume higher ranks increase the listed +40% range; only the duration changes across the ranks provided.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The control effect depends on enemies being caught in Reave’s fog.
- Ranks increase blind duration while the listed range bonus remains +40%.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the blind applies without enemies being affected by Reave’s fog.
- Expecting rank to increase the +40% range bonus.
- Confusing its Reave effect with the different conditions on Mesmer Shield or Thrall Pact.
