Prydwen T0 (Anomaly DPS) — Oct 2026
Up to four forward slashes dealing Fire DMG. The 3rd and 4th hits count as Burning Attacks, which is what recovers [Pyre].
Hold Basic Attack with at least 90 [Pyre] to hurl her weapon for massive Fire DMG. When the finishing hit lands on an enemy carrying any Attribute Anomaly — Ice, Ether, Electric, Fire, Physical or Wind — it triggers one instance of Abloom, dealing Anomaly DMG of that same attribute.
Available after Special Attack: Fire Snatch. Charges forward for Fire DMG, counts as a Burning Attack, and chains back into the 3rd hit of her Basic Attack string.
A quick dash dodge. Invulnerable for the duration.
A dashing slash out of a dodge, dealing Fire DMG.
Perfect Dodge counter: dashes in with a rapid slash for Fire DMG, then chains into the 3rd hit of her Basic Attack.
Dashes in with a rapid slash for Fire DMG when the active agent is launched, then chains into her Basic Attack string.
Parries an incoming attack for heavy Daze. Invulnerable for the duration.
After a Defensive Assist: throws the weapon and recalls it through the enemy for Fire DMG.
Retreats, then launches an upward slash for Fire DMG. With [Overclock] active, hold to charge — DMG taken is reduced by 40% through the retreat and the charge.
Released from a charged Fire Snatch while [Overclock] is active: a heavy upward slash for massive Fire DMG with a Perfect Block window on start-up. Two EX Special Attacks, or a heavy hit from her Ultimate, grant 1 [Overclock].
Spins for massive Fire DMG. Counts as a Burning Attack, opens a Perfect Block window, and chains into the 3rd hit of her Basic Attack.
Follow-up to Dazzle Flame with enough Energy: leaps and hurls the weapon down for massive Fire DMG. Also a Burning Attack with a Perfect Block window on the ascent.
Multi-hit Chain Attack for Fire DMG that counts as a Burning Attack, then chains into the 3rd hit of her Basic Attack.
Dives into the enemy and spends all of her own HP in the explosion for massive Fire DMG, leaving her in [Vitality Depleted] — she cannot attack — and triggering the next agent’s Quick Assist.
Fires when she is switched back in while [Vitality Depleted]: wraps herself in flame for Fire DMG, exits the state and heals over time. Its finishing hit triggers Abloom off any Attribute Anomaly on the target.
Anomaly Proficiency +85. When any squad member deals Attribute Anomaly DMG, the target gains [Scorch] for 20s. Attribute Anomaly DMG against a Scorched enemy can critically hit, at a base 30% CRIT Rate for 25% CRIT DMG; every point of Phoenix's initial Anomaly Mastery above 155 raises that CRIT Rate by a further 0.7%. Scorched enemies also take Fire DMG from Phoenix every 8s, counted as EX Special Attack DMG. Burning Attacks raise her Anti-Interrupt level and recover [Pyre], which caps at 120. If she is defeated, she can be switched back in at 50% HP once every 1,200s.
Active when the squad holds another Anomaly agent or a second Krampus Compliance Authority member: Attribute Anomaly DMG dealt to Scorched enemies gains 15% CRIT DMG.

Entering the field grants 1 [Overclock] (once every 180s in Investigation Zone). When her attacks hit a Scorched enemy, or any squad member triggers Attribute Anomaly DMG on one, a critical anomaly hit deals a further 25% CRIT DMG. Burning Attacks also recover 15% more [Pyre].
Burn applied by Phoenix lasts 3s longer, and her own DMG against Scorched enemies rises by 30%.
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack and Chain Attack levels +2.
When Cinderfire Soul Chase or Sin Pyre triggers Abloom, a second special Abloom fires at a flat 600% multiplier.
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack and Chain Attack levels +2.
Her EX Special Attack raises her Anomaly Buildup Rate by 15% for 20s, [Overclock] needs one EX Special Attack fewer, and her Abloom ignores 40% of enemy DMG RES.
