Ishmael

Rupture retreat attacker for weak-enemy fights
A Rupture Ishmael built around multi-target attack weight and a Retreat gimmick. She shines against several weak enemies, where her kill-based buffs and offense level edge keep her count neutral. Against enemies of equal level her Rupture count and Poise are unreliable, and her support passive is nearly impossible to trigger on purpose. She is playable in a Rupture team but never a standout.
How to play
Skill 3 gets natural attack weight, so use it to hit several enemies at once and chain kills for Poise. Keep your offense level above the target so she stays count neutral, since that is the only reliable source of Rupture count. Use the evade early and avoid relying on the Retreat, as it ends your evade usage after a few turns. Her launcher attack is just a wide skill 1, so do not build the plan around it.
