A tier in practice
Archetype specialists
Good inside Burn, Poison, Fracture, or a defensive plan. Ordinary outside it.
When to use her
Use her with Izanami and other Burn appliers, not as a standalone carry.
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.
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. · AOE burn

Partners her role needs
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.
Aries
A · Debuff, Water
Aries is the Poison version of Nezha. She needs a Poison team to reach her damage, but she pays off when the stacks are there.
Ginchiyo
A · Debuff, Wind
Ginchiyo steals attack and defense from enemies, then shares those stats with allies by row. She gets stronger as the fight goes on.
Ishtar
A · Debuff, Earth
Ishtar resets her cooldown and scales well with investment. She is a solid damage option without a narrow team requirement.
Luna
A · Debuff, Water
Luna applies Poison and offensive debuffs. She has a better chance to land them on enemies who are already poisoned.
