Bleed and Poise charge-up sniper

Shi East Section 3 Faust is a Bleed and Poise hybrid that mostly works as a bleed damage dealer. Her guard charges Target Aim for a strong arrow shot, Bow's Glimmer, but it costs turns. She needs support to get Poise potency up, and reviewers call her a solid standard banner ID.

Worth pulling?

Uptie
Uptie IV adds more total power but she is a standard banner ID, so use shards instead of spending pulls.

How to play

Open with Cleave, Positioning Maneuver and Glimmering Bow to build Poise and Bleed. Then defend with Unfold Bowblade to set up Ready to Loose and Target Aim. Fire Bow's Glimmer when you have enough aim, and it lodges an arrow that adds Bleed and Defense Level Down. Kill the target to get the arrow back.

  • +Strong Bleed infliction
  • +Arrow shot deals huge damage
  • +Lodged arrows add Bleed and Defense Level Down
  • −Needs turns of not attacking
  • −Poise generation is inconsistent
  • −Support passive is weak
