GUIDEMechanics and How to Use

At a Glance

An Identity that actively switches through defense between Blessing at nonnegative SP, a positive-Coin tank, and Despair below 0 SP, a negative-Coin Sinking Pierce attacker. Choose the intended form in advance. For Despair, use defense early to sharply lower SP, then keep Tear-sharpened at 2 to maintain high damage and heavy Sinking application.

Core Mechanics

  • Two forms: At Turn Start, she is in Blessing if her SP is 0 or higher, and Despair if it is below 0. In Blessing she gains Protecting Sword (Defense Level Up, leftmost slot Aggro + value×3, up to 15) per 8 SP, and in Despair she gains Piercing Sword (Offense Level Up) per −8 SP, each up to 5. In Despair, her attack skills lower her SP on use (S1 7, S2 10, S3 15).
  • Tear-sharpened (gained through her Defense skill): At Turn End, if Tear-sharpened is below 3, her Defense skill lowers her SP by 15 and grants 1 Tear-sharpened (once per turn; while she holds it, SP drops by an extra 15 per stack). While held, her SP drops by value×15 at each Turn End, and she gains 5 Deep Tears at Turn Start. Basic attack skills gain +value×10% damage (up to 30%), and she gains Clash Power Up in Blessing or Pierce Power Up in Despair equal to its value.
  • Release at 3 Tear-sharpened: At 3, she spends all of it before her basic attack skill's final Coin hits, inflicting 3 Sinking and 3 Sinking Count and giving that Coin +50% damage. If her SP is below 0 at that Turn End, it returns to 0 and then recovers 30, so she returns to Blessing. Despair's S3 Arcana: Tear and Pierce reuses its final Coin once if it spends Tear-sharpened on this Coin.
  • Deep Tears: A special Charge (up to 20). S2 spends 5 at 15 or more for more damage, and S3 spends up to 20 at 10 or more, gaining damage and Base Power based on the amount spent.
  • Combat passive — Magical Girl of Justice / Knight of Despair (3 Gloom and 3 Pride Owned; unlocked at Uptie Ⅱ): In Blessing, damage taken is reduced by (SP ÷ 2)% (up to 20%), with 1 Protection at 3 or more Protecting Sword, or 2 Protection and 1 Clash Power Up at 5. In Despair, basic skills deal more damage (up to 20%), with 1 Damage Up at 3 or more Piercing Sword, or 2 Damage Up and 1 Power Up at 5.
  • SP floor: SP loss from her own basic skills, Tear-sharpened, allies' support passives, and similar cannot bring her below −40. If SP damage would bring her to −45, she holds at −44 that turn (once per battle). Costs such as E.G.O use are not covered.

How to Use

When fighting in Despair: Use her Defense skill from turn 1 to build Tear-sharpened and lower her SP (two uses of the Defense skill reach −40 SP and 20 Deep Tears). Gather the passive's resources (3 Gloom and 3 Pride) during that time. Stopping Tear-sharpened at 2 makes even the per-turn SP loss a benefit in this form. At 3, the next attack releases it and returns her to Blessing, so only use the Defense skill a third time when you have decided to deal maximum damage with S3 and then move to Blessing. Be careful: losing a Clash at −40 SP risks immediate Corrosion. When fighting in Blessing: Seal away her Defense skill (using it grants Tear-sharpened and lowers her SP) and keep her SP high. As a tank who takes attacks with Protecting Sword 5's Aggro and damage reduction, she can be handled like a normal Plus Coin Identity.
