Pros
  • Tempestuous Malice grants Dark Pierce, a chain at start of own turn and additionally at the start of the first turn that reduces Dark Attribute Affinities of all enemies by one level, and inflicts Poison and Charm. If an enemy is afflicted with a status ailment, she will do a chain that does a 1 turn Debilitate, and 100 BP Physical Dark damage, that also reduces MP by 2, once per turn.
  • Fangs of Vengeance is a massive 300 BP Physical + 50% crit rate Dark skill that also inflicts Charm, and generates a press turn once per turn if the skill is not NDR'd. Boost levels increase the crit rate of the skill to 100% and the damage up to 400 BP. Combined with a high STR stat and her Dark Attribute Affinity reduction, this skill hits absurdly hard.
  • Yellow offers a skill that protects her in the mirror match, and Purple offers a powerful passive with 20% acc and 20% dark damage.
  • High Luck helps her land ailments and also helps her hit and crit.
  • As usual, Panels offer everything she could need, with accuracy, higher chance to land ailments, an additional chain to apply Poison and Charm at the start of enemy turn, MP cost reduction, buff control when ailments do land, and Dark damage. However, she also functions very well without these panels.
Cons
  • Lack of innate hit rate boosts means she needs to build Accuracy or she'll miss easily on evasive targets.
  • Absolutely no bulk—she is incredibly easy to snipe.
  • Mediocre speed on a demon that ideally really wants to go first means she will just slow your T1-T0 team down.
  • The first cast of her active has low Crit rate, which means it might not Crit at all as most defensive units have built ins 6th Sense Survivor.
  • Hard countered by Hayataro and Spirit Chains of Suppression. Hayataro’s Fortify completely negates ailments for his party, and an outspeeding Nuwa will just stop Tiamat’s chain from going off entirely.
Notes
  • On the first turn if she attacks first, she will reduce Dark Affinity by 2 because her passive activates twice. Every other turn, it only happens once.
  • Only worth considering using with Metatron M as a T0 team.
