Cagliostro (Summer) is indispensable for Water Crit teams through her significant buffs. On top of that, she provides additional party utility through a single-target heal, Dispel, and a permanent Crit boost based on Deluge CrestWater magic is amplified (Max: 5 / Can't be removed) stacks that is effective even from the backline. Because her kit relies heavily on Deluge Crest stacks (and in some cases, consuming them for additional effects), she works optimally with other sources of it.
