• At end of action, if an enemy is within 2 tiles, gains the 'Sensual Arabesque' effect (cooldown 3~2).

• Via manifestation enhancement: when granting an extra turn, applies 'Abrazo', an attack-power + cooldown-reduction + melee-only additional-attack-power buff to self and the ally. At max enhancement the values reach 50%, 2 turns, 50%. (Since Sensual Arabesque grants an 'extra turn', it counts as 1 turn elapsed, so cooldown reduction effectively becomes 3-turn reduction.)

Awakening🔗

No dedicated stage-by-stage awakening section is present. Awakening is only referenced in prose:

• Opening artifacts via manifestation grants the "Golden Anklet" artifact, giving area/range damage reduction, closing the survivability gap that clone-evasion cannot cover.
• Enhancing via manifestation: when granting an extra turn, applies the "Abrazo" buff (attack-power up + cooldown reduction + melee-combat-only additional attack-power) to self and that ally. At max enhancement the multipliers reach 50%, 2 turns, 50%. Because the extra turn counts as 1 turn elapsed, the cooldown reduction effectively becomes a 3-turn reduction.

Artifacts🔗

No dedicated artifact list section with named entries and full numbers is present. Only referenced in prose:

• Golden Anklet: obtained via awakening; grants area/range damage reduction (no exact % stated (?)).

Release Date🔗

Original Korean release: 2026-05-06.

Estimated global release: 2027-07-21.

Guide🔗

• A "counter-less" support: passives and strong skills grant allies crit-power boosts, extra actions, and cooldown reduction, while varied TP-supply lets her also deal strong damage. She trades her own survivability to guarantee one ally extra-turn per turn; when enhanced via awakening she also buffs herself, so she shines combined with Outer Ones. In PVP with Black Prince she enables using Dark Name Chain-Slash every turn; in PVE she maximizes damage by granting Cirano an extra turn.
• The prior Agassi + Isabel + Heidelrune raid meta shifted to a Karim + Jebi + Altair + Veramod of Conspiracy comp, but Zard + Cirano also pulls quite excellent damage.
• Combined with Altair, she can copy and spread the movement-distance artifact buff; with re-action grants, from release until the 2.5-anniversary Iron Mask update she swept the PVP meta. The so-called "Al-Gam-Ja-Pong-Se" comp was everywhere; Al-Gam-Ja-Pong-Se was the main defense deck in the combat tournament and Al-Ja-Pong-Se in the Knights war.
• Beyond support, her solo performance is good: as a dagger unit she has high mobility, high-performance skills, and self clone-evasion, covering the dagger class's weak defense. High-awakening artifacts let her resist AoE that clone-evasion can't, so survivability is strong. Her original Tempest martial-artist concept survives as "strike-type" skills, letting her ignore type-matchups and shred tankers despite being a dagger unit, so her damage credentials are solid too. With delicate play she can act as an AoE dealer thrown into enemy lines or a full totem-type supporter, but this needs skill.
• Caveat: like the other Tempest heroines, she has a built-in drawback: granting an ally an extra action removes her damage-reduction, and switching to Prima for damage-buff support removes the defense buff. Everything gained must be paid for, so care is needed.
• No explicit S/A/B tier letter rating is stated in the text.
