When to use her
Use her whenever you build around Burn. She is the unit that makes the archetype work.
How to build her
Role-level guidance, not datamined multipliers. The role decides what she needs before any single character quirk does.
Building a Debuff
Stack effect damage and keep the status applied. She needs a fight long enough for Burn, Poison, or Fracture to tick.
Applies Poison, Burn, or other status effects and turns them into damage.
What to build first
Burn first. Apply the stacks before you add damage, or the damage never arrives.

The strongest characters in the roles her job depends on.
Amaterasu
SSS · Tank, Radiant Star
The strongest tank in the global build. Amaterasu heals herself, revives once, and turns Charm into crowd control plus a damage cut for the whole team.
Medusa
SSS · Support, Radiant Star
The best healer in the game. Medusa revives each ally after their first defeat, keeps the team topped up, and adds 30% damage reduction.
Aether
SS · Support, Radiant Star
A healer who also deals damage. Aether gives 25% attack to your two highest-attack allies and cuts energy damage by 40%.
Athena
SS · Tank, Earth
A tank with shields, 30% damage reduction for the team, and a heal block for enemies. Athena protects and disrupts in the same slot.
Who to use instead
The closest swaps in the same role, within one tier step.
Pilgrim
SS · Debuff, Radiant Star
The best anti-healer in the game. Pilgrim stacks Poison and Burn, keeps herself alive with lifesteal, and makes enemy healing much less useful.
Azure
S · Debuff, Water
Azure follows up more often as enemies collect debuffs, and her follow-up can apply more debuffs. She rewards a team that spreads status effects.
Lilith
S · Debuff, Radiant Star
Lilith deals damage and buffs allies in the back row. Her value depends on where you place the rest of the team.
