Tank, Fire
A tier in practice
Archetype specialists
Good inside Burn, Poison, Fracture, or a defensive plan. Ordinary outside it.
When to use her
Use her when you need a second shield tank and already have a healer.
How to build her
Role-level guidance, not datamined multipliers. The role decides what she needs before any single character quirk does.
Building a Tank
Stack HP and damage reduction. She survives the opening burst so the damage slots have time to ramp.
Holds the frontline with shields, damage reduction, or damage redirection.
What to build first
Shields first. Shield strength is the mitigation, so it scales the whole slot.
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. · Shields

Partners her role needs
The strongest characters in the roles her job depends on.
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%.
Hera
S · Support, Water
Hera heals and purifies, then adds a wide mix of buffs and debuffs. She is a utility healer rather than a pure healing number.
Seraph
S · Support, Fire
The healer for a Burn team. Seraph keeps the lineup alive, applies debuffs, and gives 25% attack to two allies.
Who to use instead
The closest swaps in the same role, within one tier step.
Anubis
A · Tank, Earth
Anubis sustains herself and gives 20% damage up to the two highest-attack allies.
Dione
A · Tank, Water
Dione is not a sturdy tank, but she brings useful debuffs: 25% area damage reduction, slow, and attack down.
Miku
A · Tank, Wind
Miku offers some damage and minor debuffs. She is a flexible filler rather than a main tank.
Shion
A · Tank, Fire
Shion gives damage reduction to the team and 40% to your damage dealers. She protects the units that need it most.
