By Updated

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Sheer DMG completely bypasses enemy DEF — uniquely effective against high-DEF targets
  • Gains Decibels from HP loss rather than skill hits, enabling fast Ether Veil: Wellspring uptime
  • Frostbite Embrace charges faster at high HP, creating a risk-reward loop with her HP-scaling DMG buff
  • Ether Veil: Wellspring buffs the whole squad's Max HP while enabling her Ultimate

Weaknesses

  • Self-HP consumption mechanic requires careful management to avoid dying, especially without a dedicated healer
  • DMG output scales heavily with falling below 50% HP — sustain support can conflict with her damage loop
  • Sheer Force stat scales with Max HP, making HP investment mandatory rather than optional

Core Passive

1 skill
Core Skill skill icon
Core Passive

Core Passive: Dreamscape Collection

Yidhari gains extra Sheer Force based on her Max HP (every 1 Max HP = 0.1 Sheer Force). All Ice DMG she deals is Sheer DMG — it ignores enemy DEF and uses her Sheer Force stat as the DMG Multiplier. When Yidhari enters battle, she immediately gains 60 Adrenaline (once every 180s in Investigation Zone Mode). Yidhari's skill DMG increases as her current HP percentage decreases — when HP falls below 50%, DMG increases by up to 100%; once HP is restored above 50%, the maximum bonus persists for 5s. Yidhari gains fewer Decibels from landing skills; instead, she gains Decibels as her HP decreases (every 1% HP lost = 10 Decibels).

Additional Ability · Narrative Completion

When another character in your squad is a Stun or Support character: when Yidhari's HP falls below 50%, CRIT DMG increases by 30% and DMG taken is reduced by 25%. While inside Ether Veil: Wellspring, after the level 3 charged attack of Basic Attack: Frostbite Embrace or EX Special Attack: Glacial Crush, an icy tentacle is summoned to deal extra DMG (once every 12s). This is considered an EX Special Attack.
