GUIDEMechanics and How to Use

At a Glance

A Charge and Bleed Identity that sustains enemy Bleed Count through Iron Maiden and Count increases on every skill except the evade, The Exhibition Begins. Build the special Charge, Corpus Ingredient, to 3 Potency to increase Bleed application and expand S3's area after releasing restraints.

Core Mechanics

Corpus Ingredient: A special Charge with up to 20 Count. When she first appears, its Count increases by (number of Ring allies on the field×2), up to 10. At the end of a skill that dealt damage to HP or Shield, +5 Count, plus +3 more if it defeated the target. Each time she spends a cumulative 10 Count, she gains 1 Corpus Ingredient Potency.
Artwork: Fascia: Gained at 2 or more Corpus Ingredient Potency. At Potency 1, +1 Base Power; at 2, +10% damage against enemies with Bleed; at 3, +1 to the Bleed Potency and Count she inflicts; at 4, +1 Base Power.
Iron Maiden (early phase): +4 Aggro on her leftmost slot. At Turn Start, she gains 1 Protection, 5 Defense Level Up, and Shield. When she takes damage from an attacker's final Coin, she returns 20% of it as Pierce damage and increases the attacker's Bleed Count by 2, once per skill and up to 3 times per turn. At Turn End on the turn she gains Fascia, she switches to The Self Unbound - Flow State, gaining +2 to her minimum and maximum Speed and swapping her skills.
S3 Repressed Flesh / Liberation of the Repressed Flesh: With at least 10 Count, spends up to 20 for +2 Final Power and more damage. After The Self Unbound, the skill gains +1/+2 Attack Weight at 3/5 or more Corpus Ingredient, and all of its Coins become Unbreakable Coins.
Defense skill after The Self Unbound — The Exhibition Begins: At Combat Start, gains 1 Assist Defense, then covers an ally who is attacked one-sidedly and counters with No Acts of Vandalism Allowed., a clashable counter that spends and gains Corpus Ingredient.
Support passive — Iron Maiden - Spikes (1 Lust and 2 Envy Owned; unlocked at Uptie Ⅲ): When an ally with a Defense skill equipped takes damage, inflicts 4 Bleed on the attacker. If the attacker already has Bleed, increases Bleed Count by 2 instead, twice per turn.

How to Use

Early on, absorb attacks with Iron Maiden's durability and Aggro, extending Bleed Count while building Corpus Ingredient Count. Use S3 only after checking whether its spending will reach 3 Potency; do not throw it away early. After The Self Unbound, attack with her basic skills, which now inflict more Bleed, and her multi-target S3, and use her Defense skill's Assist Defense to cover allies and counterattack. This counter is strong against enemies with Unbreakable Coins. Her support passive is powerful, so leaving her in backup is also an option. She has strong synergy with Hong Lu's The House of Spiders: The Ring Nursefather.
