Is Blade Lineage Salsu Outis good?

No. Her Poise generation is among the weakest of any Poise identity, and she relies on E.G.O and gifts to do anything meaningful.

Why does Blade Lineage Outis feel strong in solo runs?

Her bulk, evade and access to two seven-weight E.G.O with different damage types let her stagger enemies early. That is the E.G.O doing the work, so it does not carry over to a normal team.

Review

Mirror Dungeon tier

Weak Poise filler, carried by E.G.O

A Poise identity with very poor Poise generation: count comes only from skill 2 and potency only from skill 1. Her bulk and evade keep her alive, and her two off-type HE E.G.O let her stagger almost anything early, but that power comes from the E.G.O and gifts, not the identity. Outside of solo runs she has little reason to be on a team.

Worth pulling?: skip
Uptie: Uptie IV adds little that changes her role. It is not worth the resources unless you are playing her for fun.

How to play

Lean on the evade to survive tough fights while you build resources. Skill 1 is your Poise potency source and skill 2 your only count, so alternate them. Fuel Ebony Stem and Binds as fast as you can, since their different damage types make it hard for an enemy to resist both, and stagger on turn one when you can. Her passives hit harder on targets under 25% HP, which is strongest against enemies with several parts.

+Sturdy HP and a useful evade
+Works with two attack-weight-7 E.G.O of different damage types
+Extra damage against targets under 25% HP

−Very weak Poise count and potency generation
−Low damage output of her own
−Needs gifts and E.G.O to compete
