Community Analysis
Mabel joins the MSD roster as a lightning maindps... the 4th of its kind. She has incredibly powerful competition in the form of Benjamin and Reina, and unfortunately, Mabel's base kit and early awakenings do almost nothing to help overpower those two behemoths However, at A4, all of Mabel's problems with her kit gets solved, and she becomes a maindps powerhouse with extremely high damage output that overpowers even max Benjamin. Mabel's A6F5 performance is solidly the second strongest maindps in the game
Mabel is NOT worth pulling for unless you are aiming for A4 or you really want a lightning dps that isnt any of the other 3.
A0F1: With a maxed narae, mabel matches A6 Ben holding his sig supported by 4 star francis. She's like a Reina sidegrade if Reina didn't have battlepass sig and is instead using her HP% sig A0F1 is not strong enough to compete with the OP lightning 4 stars
A1: Small damage boost. While the 40% lightning seems huge, she already has a good bit from her sig and it only applies to her EBA. Mabel does a large chunk of her damage with skills and ult too. Practically, A1 made avardan take 10 less seconds to kill. From ~145 sec -> 135 sec. This means that this dupe has a practical dps gain of around 7-10% (avardan digs) Overall, probably one of the weakest A1s we've had.
A2: Effectively just a QoL sidegrade. Sometimes makes rotations feel awful since you cant gain Epigram's Will while Mabel is doing her extended zapping. Doesnt really affect overall damage that much. Got literally the same clear times in both avardan and pretty much same score in Reginula
A4: A GALACTIC boost in damage. This dupe fixes literally every problem Mabel has in her kit. In fact, her ability to detatch from her stand during ult should have just been in her base kit. A4F1 Mabel is about the same power level as A6 Ben holding F5 Esther sig.

Profile
Mabel is a devout and merciful nun. She possesses such forbearance that she extends forgiveness even to former enemies... yet she regards the lives of irredeemable criminals as no more significant than that of a fly.
Mabel swings her hand to release lightning energy recorded in Epigram, dealing Lightning DMG. Upon landing her Basic Attack's 4th Hit, she gains Epigram's Will.
Upon using her Basic Attack's 2nd Hit, there is a set chance for lightning energy written on a leftover page to be fired, dealing Lightning DMG, and upon landing the hit, Mabel gains Epigram's Will.
If no additional input is made for set duration after Basic Attack's 4th Hit, Mabel also gains Epigram's Will.
Judgment When Epigram's Will is at max stacks, briefly holding the Basic Attack button consumes all stacks, and Mabel enters a state of Judgment for a set duration. Mabel cannot gain Epigram's Will while in a state of Judgment, and successful Evasion Counters reset Judgment's duration.
Switching to another teammate does not remove Judgment, and it ends when the duration expires or when the Dodge button is pressed.
Sanctification While in Judgment, Mabel designates enemies in front of her as targets to deal Lightning DMG to and gains a stack of Condemnation with each attack, increasing Neutralization DMG.

Story
A Child of Charlatans #1
Mabel's parents were members of the Order of Aurelia... and highly skilled scam artists.
Mabel's parents—both sheep beastkin—proclaimed that they were holy lambs sent by the Goddess. They exploited the Order's doctrine to grow their flock, and then fleeced those followers for all they were worth.
Mabel was born into and raised amidst this religious fervor, and was taught from a young age to always 「Follow what is good and shun what is evil.」 And, since the Goddess Aurelia was infallible, only good could possibly be done in Her name.
Her parents no doubt intended for their daughter to play a key role in their mountebank ministry... but whether by Mabel's luck or their misfortune, Mabel interpreted their teachings in an earnest—if extreme—direction: 「Protect what is good... and punish what is evil.」
A Child of Charlatans #2
Mabel's burgeoning convictions led her to expose her parents' fraud to Parliament.
Her mother and father pled with her to the very last possible second, insisting that all was good in the name of the Goddess... but Mabel could not be swayed. What was evil had to be punished.
Hers was the key testimony that put her parents behind bars. Mabel had learned her parents' teachings: 「Follow what is good and punish what is evil.」 Even her own parents weren't exempt from that standard.
The Little Condemner #1
After her parents were tried and sentenced, Mabel was sent to live in a shelter run by the Order.
Others at the shelter pitied Mabel for losing her parents at such a young age, but they were also surprised that she felt no regret for her role in losing them.
Mabel paid no mind to their confusion or gossip. Even if others said she was an emotionless monster, she remained confident, for she had only done what was right.
The Little Condemner #2
Word of this bold girl naturally reached the ears of Parliament, the heart of all four elemental Orders. Mabel's unwavering resolve to punish evildoers, even her own parents, was a quality befitting an inquisitor, servants of Parliament charged with setting all personal biases aside to carry out the goddesses' will.
Mabel's deeds even caught the notice of Archbishop Cropian, the leader of Parliament, and he summoned her for an interview.
After a lengthy talk, the Archbishop took Mabel into his direct care, promising to train her as a nun, and when the time came, appoint her to the ranks of the inquisitors.
Faith and Education #1
Mabel completed her basic religious training, and then, at Archbishop Cropian's demand, she immediately began training to become an inquisitor. Though far too young for such a role, Mabel's devout nature had caught Archbishop Cropian's eye, and he was determined to see her put to use for Parliament's cause as soon as possible.
「Elphin」, who had long trained inquisitors, was assigned as her instructor.
Though the thought of teaching a child to pass judgment upon others weighed heavily on Elphin's conscience, Parliament's decision was absolute. And thus Mabel's instruction began.
Faith and Education #2
Mabel had no hesitation in performing an inquisitor's duties, whether it involved torturing sinners to lead them to repentance or carrying out executions with her own hand. Armed entirely with the word and doctrine of her goddesses, she accepted it all. She never rested, never wavered, and thus her growth as an inquisitor progressed at an extraordinary pace.
She never once questioned the word of her goddesses. She required nothing beyond it, and for its sake, she would do anything. To Parliament, Mabel was an exceptionally efficient and ideal weapon.
Faith and Education #3
When confronting sinners, Mabel always began with conversation. She approached each sinner without regard to what they had done in the past, and determined through their conversation whether they were good or evil. If they were deemed evil, she would devote herself to guiding them toward reform under the Order's teachings.
If, despite Mabel's best efforts, the sinner before her remained unrepentant, then she punished them without mercy, for 「To refuse repentance is the ultimate evil.」
Each time she successfully completed her duties, her instructor Elphin would offer genuine praise. Yet beneath the praise Elphin grew increasingly uneasy, as Mabel seemed to lose her human emotions with each passing day.
Epigram
Despite Elphin's worries, Mabel quickly gained the full trust and recognition of both Parliament and Archbishop Cropian as an inquisitor.
Certain that she would never defy Parliament's will, Archbishop Cropian offered her 「Epigram」, one of Parliament's treasured artifacts, as a sign of his confidence.
Epigram was a book that could temporarily materialize whatever was written within its pages. Depending on how it was used, Epigram had the potential to become extremely dangerous. Thus, it was not only forbidden to use freely, but even to issue out. Simply granting it to someone was enough to send shockwaves through Parliament.
