Investment & usage

Treasure: No dedicated Treasure. Collection Item (weapon collection level) target: SR15.

Investment profile: A character whose skill build-up and Overload priority are laid out on the community raising sheet (updated 2026.7).

Skill priority: Skill 1 = Burst Skill > Skill 2

Overload priority: Elemental Damage > ATK (useful extra options: Crit Rate, Crit Damage)

Recommended cube: Relic Bear. [Added 2026-08-04] Opinion is somewhat split: Gonyo rates her positively, saying "Wind dealers are scarce, so her relative value is high", while Sperando is critical, saying "the limits of her poor base gun are obvious". With only two voices it is hard to call a majority or minority, and her current tiers in characterDatabase.json (story A / bossing S / pvp A) sit closer to Gonyo's read — needs checking.

Appears in 5 teams

Triple Hit T3 Wind

Boss

Rapi: Red Hood· Nayuta· Ark Ranger Black· Snow White: Heavy Arms· Velvet

Black is the New Wind

Boss

Zwei· Mint· Ark Ranger Black

[Source: prydwen.gg character page] A proper crit-focused team featuring Black and another Neutral/supportive B3 (SWHA/Helm/Ada, for example). Weaker than MirandaTr's version but used to save MirandaTr for Nayuta. Due to this team's lack of Crit DMG buff, Crit DMG OL lines are very impactful on both DPS. (Element: Wind)

Black, White, and Red

Boss

Miranda· Blanc· Ark Ranger Black· Rouge· Sakura: Bloom in Summer

[Source: prydwen.gg character page] This team gives Black her most desired stats: guaranteed Crit and Damage Taken. The last B3 can be anything (DPS or support), but SSakura benefits best from Black. (Element: Wind)

What's Better: Black Critting or a Black Crit Line?

Boss

Miranda· Rosanna: Chic Ocean· Ark Ranger Black· Rouge· Sakura: Bloom in Summer

[Source: prydwen.gg character page] This team gives Black her most desired stats: guaranteed Crit and Damage Taken. We use SRosanna and SSakura because they benefit from Black's teamwide buff. (Element: Wind)

Power Idols

Boss

Mint· Ark Ranger Black· Snow White: Heavy Arms· Prika

[Source: prydwen.gg character page] Unlike MirandaTr's and ZweiTr's comps, this team doesn't have guaranteed crit, but it still delivers laudable damage! The B1-CDR can be anything. (Element: Wind)
