Guide - NamuWiki community assessment, KR server🔗

Performance: Unusually for a legendary, she has an "11-shape" (parallel two-track) class tree with two base classes: Warlock and Mage. The Tier 3 classes are Occultist (Warlock track) and Archmage (Mage track), and she has no ultimate. Dedicated weapon is "Time Recorder": it has an additional stat that raises AoE skill damage, and when the wearer uses a skill while another ally has 0 TP, spell power rises for 2 turns. Also, when allies within 2 tiles use a skill, the wearer gains Time Manipulation stacks equal to the TP they consumed. When Time Manipulation reaches a set number of stacks, for each ally it reduces by 1 the cooldown of the active skill with the longest remaining cooldown, then the Time Manipulation stacks vanish and she gets the "Time Manipulation Rebound" un-removable debuff that blocks gaining stacks for 2 turns. The stack requirement is high, but it is an excellent weapon that shortens the whole team's cooldowns. Unique passive is "Knowledge Inheritance": attacking an enemy with an AoE skill raises spell power 20%, and when Gishne ends her action, if an ally has 0 TP she increases TP by 1~2 (base 1, becomes 2 from 5th awakening).

Evaluation: In the game's early days she was a regular deployment member alongside Diablo, then was benched for a long time, and returned with Inner Break as a top-grade supporter. Whether full-awakened or full-manifested she pays back 2TP the same, but she gained the ability to lay down a Necessary Inheritance shield. At full manifestation she returns as an ultra-strong supporter, cutting the ultimate's required TP by -2 while also boosting its power by +30%. If you can spend 3TP in one turn, in theory you can always fire the ultimate on turn 2, and since she lays a shield at the same time you gain a little extra survivability. Her support is so strong she will likely never drop out of the top-tier supporters until GenesisWar Mobile shuts down. She also gained a re-action so she can serve as a sub-dealer, but only as a sub, so it needs careful play. With her dedicated weapon she can also provide cooldown reduction to the whole team. She is valuable in many ways and can deploy anywhere, so raising her is never a loss. For skills, at full manifestation the AoE restrictions are gone so easy combos are possible, but do not expect much dealer output. In PVP the Occultist (deletes 3 buffs) is appropriate; in PVE the Archmage is also usable. Generally you take Despair Zone or Silent Cloud.

No explicit S/A/B letter tier stated; text places her in the first-team supporter tier per KR-server community opinion.
