Their pieces come from free sources, so this costs no pulls.

Analysis

An excellent water melee support. Can provide buffs and some debuffs and can contribute to overall team damage.

Pros

Can hit pretty hard due to all the P.ATK buffs passives.

Offers lot of damage buffs for water+melee front ally.

Cons

Water skill has limited uses.

Kinda limited to water+melee parties for max potential.

ATK debuffs are not guaranteed.

High M.ATK but only magic attack has limited uses.
