Investment & usage

Treasure: She has a dedicated Treasure, counted among the higher-priority ones on the recent community raising sheet. Final target stage for Collection Item / Treasure: stage 3.

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

Skill priority: Skill 2 = Burst Skill > Skill 1

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

Recommended cube: Relic Bear. Use case: PvE. [Added 2026-08-04] After her Treasure released, some rated her high enough to ask the provocative question of whether she "rivals Rapi, the established top dealer" (Eppenbaum, Gonyo), but viewer reactions were split (some say the 2-stack burst is the key point, others say the other new Treasures are better). Needs re-checking against real usage data.

PvP

Drake· Sugar· Noir· Soda: Twinkling Bunny· Viper

[Source: prydwen.gg character page] This is a team for ATK only. The idea behind this team is that you counter a defensive team without proper P1 protection, i.e. to undo their Burst Chain or simply just to kill them before they can retaliate. No, this team cannot reach Full Burst, but who needs that if the enemy is already dead? Alternatively, you can use Pepper/Viper or any other B1/B2 as deemed necessary if you do need Full Burst. Or use Makima if you counter SG teams alike (defending SG hits P5). You can slot in Anis: Sparkling Summer and Privaty: Unkind Maid and replace any of the SGs above if they are more invested. You can also use Laplace (Treasure) because she also hurts right off the bat, not to mention the splash. Ultimately, investments (and element counters) determine damage dealt, and CP is important for avoiding stat penalty from CP deficit. Do pay attention to Burst Gen (if you are planning to Full Burst with this team).
