Is LCE E.G.O Ardor Blossom Star Faust good?

She is decent for damage but narrow. Reviewers say the E.G.O mostly supports the ID of the same name, so the banner is not a strong pull.

Should I pull this banner?

Reviewers advise skipping it for Faust alone, as the E.G.O has little use beyond this one identity.

Faust

LCE E.G.O::Ardor Blossom Star

“Subject's engagement threat level: moderately high. However, considering its self-destructive nature under specific circumstances… Ardor Blossom Moth final designation: WAW-5.”

Review

Mirror Dungeon tier

Burn self-damage glass cannon

Ardor Blossom Star Faust is a Burn identity that gains Burn on herself, hits hard with blunt skills and, if you choose, dies on purpose with her ascended Skill 3 to spread Burn to every enemy. Her support passive adds Burn from the lowest SP ally. She is decent but narrow in use.

Worth pulling?: optional
Uptie: Not a priority. Her kit is built around a single big finisher and the gain from Uptie IV is modest unless she is a main of your Burn team.

How to play

Stack Burn with Ignition and A.B.S. Activation. At 30 or more Burn, Drawn by Flame becomes the Degraded Corrosion version, which kills her after use, so save it for a moment when the team wants the death payoff. Her passive offers more Burn at low HP and grants Offense Level Up for every 6 Burn.

+Strong self-fed Burn damage
+Death effect spreads Burn to all enemies
+Immune to Burn staggering and death

−Skill 3 kills her
−Fatal to pierce
−Limited uses outside Burn teams
