Burn and Tremor burst, shield breaker

A Thumb nursefather built to dump her Eye of Precognition and cash out with Disposal, a huge multi-hit skill with repeated Tremor Burst. She is excellent at breaking a boss shield and staggering fast, but weaker than some rivals at raw single target damage. The big burst is followed by a long recovery.

Worth pulling?
good pull
Uptie
Worth it for a Burn and Tremor Thumb team, since her cash-out turn is the whole point of the identity.

How to play

Keep clashing and getting hit so she loses her Eye stacks, which also triggers her dodge counter. When the Eye is gone she overheats and gains Disposal. Defend first if you have fewer than 5 Acceleration Rounds, because the full Disposal wants at least 5. Use it on the marked Game Target, and a kill gives a follow-up Disposal. After the burst, expect several turns before the cycle comes back.

  • +Repeated Tremor Burst melts shields and builds Stagger quickly
  • +Disposal can chain a second follow-up on a kill
  • +Dodge counter and Eye give her strong defense before overheating
  • −Long recovery after each big burst
  • −Eye of Precognition must be dumped on purpose to cash out
  • −Gets Poise only from her bullets, not from Poise gifts
