Charge Bleed damage dealer with a phase swap

A risky Bleed Ishmael that burns her own HP for Pulsation charge, drops into the Changing Room, and returns in a strong Full Makeover state. In that state her skill 2 and skill 3 hit hard, reuse coins and heal her back up. Her Bleed potency before Full Makeover is modest, and she competes for a spot with Kurokumo Ishmael, who still provides far more to a Bleed team.

Worth pulling?
optional
Uptie
Uptie IV is a nice upgrade but not the reason to pull. Her real limit is team slot competition, not raw numbers.

How to play

Open with skill 3 and skill 2, since they spend HP to fill your charge and hit hardest. Get hit once after reaching low HP to enter the Changing Room, and use your guard there. When you leave, the skill deck reshuffles, so a skill 3 and two skill 2s are ready for the Full Makeover turns. Skill 1 is the weak button, so swap it for a counter defense if you want more damage.

  • +Strong damage once Full Makeover is active
  • +Heals back to full HP in the Changing Room
  • +Charge is spent automatically by her HP conversion
  • −Bleed potency is low before Full Makeover
  • −Competes with Kurokumo Ishmael for a Bleed slot
  • −Setup takes a few turns and needs a hit

FAQ

Is Boutique du Rouge Ishmael good?
She is a decent pierce damage dealer with an interesting playstyle and strong sustain in Full Makeover. Her Bleed support is weaker than Kurokumo Ishmael, so she struggles to earn a team slot.
How do you get Full Makeover quickly?
Spend HP with skill 3 and skill 2, then take a hit so she enters the Changing Room. After the Changing Room ends she gains Full Makeover, usually around turn four.
