Is Full-Stop Office Fixer Heathcliff good?

Yes, he is one of the best Poise identities. His damage is more than enough to end Pierce-weak enemies quickly, and he needs no specific setup to perform.

What does Overwatch Assignment do for Full-Stop Heathcliff?

When he runs out of every kind of Ammo, he recovers from stagger and leaves the fight, and the next backup takes his slot. He keeps his HP and SP, clears negative effects, and comes back with max Concentration, Pierce Power Up and a full reload.

Do I need Full-Stop Hong Lu with Heathcliff?

Not to use him, he is strong alone. But Hong Lu can trigger free Headshots for him and both share defensive support attacks, so the pair is clearly stronger together.

“Locked and loaded. Bullet type… Atelier Logic High Velocity Pulverisation Round. Right, then. Ready to fire.”

Review

Mirror Dungeon tier

Poise sniper, burst damage dealer

A Pierce sniper whose Ammo-fed skills hit absurdly hard, with a single coin that can deal several times normal damage on a crit. He needs no special setup to work in Poise, and Poise has few strong options for a full team, so there is little reason to leave him out. He is at his best next to Full-Stop Office Rep Hong Lu, who fires extra Headshots for him.

Worth pulling?: must pull
Uptie: The kit is already complete at lower Uptie levels, so Uptie IV is a nice bonus rather than a requirement. Prioritize it once he is a core member of your Poise team.

How to play

Open with Return Fire and Headshot to build Poise and Haste while Ammo lasts. Once only the Atelier Logic round is left, Goin' for the Bullseye upgrades into the Pulverisation Round, your strongest hit, and it works best on Pierce-weak targets while you are faster than them and sitting on high Concentration and Poise Potency. When all Ammo is gone he retreats through Overwatch Assignment, a backup takes the slot, and he returns later fully loaded with max Concentration. Use the evade defense to build Poise, and the guard once Ammo is out.

+Enormous single-coin crit damage, extra vs Pierce-weak enemies
+Needs no special team setup to be good in Poise
+Overwatch retreat resets him and avoids death penalties
+Builds Poise and Haste on his own

−Burns through Ammo fast, so he cannot stay on the field forever
−Falls off against Pierce-resistant enemies
