C tier in practice

Low priority

Weak numbers or no clear job. Invest only while the roster is thin.

When to use her

Skip her once you have any A-tier or higher damage dealer.

How to build her

Role-level guidance, not datamined multipliers. The role decides what she needs before any single character quirk does.

Building a DPS

Stack Attack and Crit. Her damage comes from multipliers and follow-ups, so crit consistency beats raw bulk.

Deals direct damage through crits, follow-ups, or single-target pressure.

What to build first

Single-target pressure first. She answers bosses, not waves.

Based on the tags above and on her role. This site does not datamine skill multipliers, so read this as a priority order, not a skill tree. · Single target
