Review

Mirror Dungeon tier

Poise damage dealer with an evade

A solid Poise attacker that works fine on her own. Her evade defense makes many early fights easy, and her skills build Poise quickly so she keeps hitting hard. Her team utility mostly matters when allies have little or no Poise, so alone she plays as a simple damage unit.

Worth pulling?: optional
Uptie: Uptie III already clears Mirror Dungeon solo runs, so Uptie IV is a bonus rather than a requirement.

How to play

Open with an evade into fights that hit hard, then spend skill 3 once you hold enough Poise for the extra coin power. Skills 1 and 2 keep the Poise count topped up between big turns. Use ego on the tough bosses, but check the Pride cost before planning a first-turn ego.

+Evade defense skill trivializes many fights
+Builds Poise quickly
+Works solo without her Mentor

−Support passive only helps allies with little Poise
−Both useful egos carry a Pride cost that can complicate turn one
