Synergy

Character Synergy

    stack. As such, these characters combined with MC allows the party to deal immense burst damage in short battles. Take caution as Payila's Double StrikeAttacks twice each turn
    will overwrite her buff, so in Full Auto setups, place her behind Payila.

Priorities

Increase Payila's overall offensive capability by taking two 3★ Water ATK, 3★ Skill DMG Cap, and finally round it up with three 3★ Critical Hit. For longer battles, full auto, or more consistent damage output, replace some points in Critical Hit and Skill DMG Cap with ATK.
