Abilities
Harrow has the ability to trap enemies in chains, sacrifice his shields to buff his squad, provide energy regeneration for his team via kills and preventing damage to him and his team.
His passive ability is Conviction which grants him a 200% more overshields which allows him to have 2400 overshields.
1) Condemn
Harrow sends forth chains to hold his enemies and grant him additional shields per enemy hit.
This is great for crowd control as well as giving Harrow shields when he needs it such as situations where he is under attack or when he needs more shields to improve the overall effect of his Penance ability.

2) Penance
Harrow sacrifices his shields to grant his team life steal, increased rate of fire and reload speed for a duration of time.
The more shields Harrow has, the better the effects of the buffs.
This is a great skill not only for supporting the team but himself as well as this increases the survivability of Harrow and his squad as well as their damage output.

3) Thurible
Harrow starts channeling, using his energy to create a radius around him where any enemy killed will grant energy, while headshots do the same but at a greater amount.
This ability makes sure the squad has a supply of energy and along with Penance, this makes the team almost unstoppable due to the infinite supply of health and mana.

Augment Mod: Warding Thurible reduces the amount of damage allies take while the ability is being channeled and grants additional energy.
4) Covenant
Harrow breaks free from his chains and causes him and his allies to be invulnerable for a duration and as they are being attacked by enemies, the damage that has been absorbed is converted into critical chance.
This ability is one of the best abilities out there, not only do you become invulnerable but you gain a huge amount of critical chance after.
This can be used to accumulate damage or save members of your squad when the situation demands it.

Augment Mod: Lasting Covenant causes headshot kills to increase the critical chance timer during covenant.

Range Build
This build focuses on increasing the range of Harrows buffs so allies may roam a bit far from him yet still gain the benefits from his abilities.

Overview
Harrow may be a complex Warframe to obtain at first but it is rewarding in the end as he can allow himself and his squad to last very long in battle.
Being able to grant his team with everything they need to survive, Harrow is one of the best support Warframes and once you give him a good set of weapons, he himself becomes an unstoppable killer in missions.
Harrow’s Covenant ability is one of the best abilities in the game as it can prevent players from certain death or allow teams to charge forwards without fear of being damaged.
Aside from being a good support Warframe, Harrow is also great for dealing damage and improving battle capabilities for any squad.
Harrow is by far the coolest lore wise. More relevant and with most potential for further lore development. One of the most flavorful kits.
