The Ring Fauvist Docent

At a Glance

A Bleed-team amplifier and attacker that maintains both Mauled Color [Rouge] and Mauled Color [Bleu] plus Touche Hardie on enemies, increasing Bleed and Sinking damage by up to 20%. More types of negative effect enhance every skill and turn defense into the powerful Critique.

Core Mechanics

• Touche Hardie (max 2): Per point, +10% HP and SP damage taken from Bleed and Sinking, up to 20%. It decreases by 1 at Turn End. Inflicted by S2 Expression of Primary Colors (target with 5/6 or more negative effect types; the condition differs by Uptie and is relaxed at Uptie Ⅳ), S3, and Critique's third Coin.
• S2 Expression of Primary Colors (engine): One skill inflicts 2 Bleed, +2 Sinking Count, 1 [Rouge], and 2/3 [Bleu], plus 1 Touche Hardie if the condition is met. +20% damage per negative effect type on the target (up to 60%), and +1 Coin Power per 2 types (up to 3; Uptie Ⅳ).
• Critique: If she does not have Réflexion and the target has 3 or more negative effect types, the Defense skill Trimming the Medium transforms (a clashable counter). +2 Clash Power per 2 negative effect types (up to 6), +3 Final Power if Bleed and Sinking total 4 or more, and Coin reuse per 3 types (up to 2 times). After use, she gains 2 Réflexion and cannot use it during that time (restores 5 SP at Turn Start).
• Le Fauvisme - Masque de Loup (permanent buff): Gained at Turn End after inflicting 3 Palette Vibrante, using Critique twice, or using the enhanced S3 Burst Forth the Pulsing Crimson under Your Skin. +1 Speed, +1 Bleed and Sinking inflicted, and +1 Sinking Count and Bleed Count on hits against enemies with 3 or more [Bleu] or [Rouge] (once per turn each).
• Palette Vibrante: At Combat End, inflicted next turn on enemies that have all 3 types (2/3/4 if [Rouge] and [Bleu] are 3/6/9 or more). Increases damage taken from Ring members (even more from Fauvists). The enhanced S3 activates when the target has 6 or more negative effect types (once per turn; an Unfocused Volley whose fourth Coin hits all targets).
• Combat passive — Needs a Rougher Touch for this Part...! (2 Lust Resonance; unlocked at Uptie Ⅱ): +1 to the [Rouge], [Bleu], and Touche Hardie inflicted.

How to Use

Keep the passive active with 2 Lust Resonance every turn while maintaining the three negative effects with S2 and S3. On turn 1, when the enemy has no negative effects, the Defense skill Trimming the Medium inflicts more than S1. Once there are 3 or more negative effect types, replace S1 with the Defense skill and fire Critique (it is unavailable during Réflexion, so alternate). On turns when Critique is unavailable, S1 Vehement Overpainting reuses a Coin if the target has 4 or more negative effect types (Uptie Ⅳ). Gaining Masque de Loup through the enhanced S3, two Critiques, or 3 Palette Vibrante makes later Count infliction easier. Negative effects count by number of types, so pairing her with allies who inflict different types speeds up the bonuses (especially strong in Bleed teams against single bosses with a single part).
