Mirror Dungeon tier

Bleed count support, Iron Maiden tank

The Ring Apprentice Faust is a Bleed identity with two forms. Iron Maiden aggros hits and reflects Bleed count, while Flow State is faster and hits harder. She is meant to be paired with Ring Nursefather Hong Lu, and her support passive adds Bleed to attackers even from the bench.

Worth pulling?
good pull
Uptie
Uptie IV is worth it for a unit whose passives and Corpus Ingredient scale as the fight goes on.

How to play

Start as Iron Maiden and use her guard to absorb hits and win clashes for Bleed count. Build Corpus Ingredient by hitting, and spend it on Skill 2 and Skill 3. After she gains Fascia she switches to Flow State, which gives speed and her alternate skills. Aggro does not work against Rion's mark targeting.

  • +Bleed count from guard and counter
  • +Support passive works while benched
  • +Flow State adds speed and damage
  • −Aggro fails against Rion
  • −Low base speed
  • −Needs Corpus Ingredient to be efficient

FAQ

Is Ring Apprentice Faust good?
Yes. She is great at stacking Bleed count in fights where bosses have many coins, and strong as a bench support.
Should I pull Ring Apprentice Faust?
Pull for Hong Lu first. She is the stronger half of the duo.
