Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Best Ice support in the game — near-irreplaceable in Miyabi and Ellen teams
  • Team-wide ATK buff from EX Special scales extremely well with DPS units
  • Off-field passive provides consistent value without needing field time

Weaknesses

  • Largely locked to Ice teams — limited value outside Mono Ice compositions
  • Rotation-dependent: missing her EX Special timing loses significant buff uptime
