Backline Supporter

Fraux is effective even in the backline. She can support the party by extending all local debuffs inflicted by Fire units. If an ally is knocked out, Fraux will then be able to join the fight and do what is mentioned in the Frontline Fighter section.

Synergy

Characters

Fraux is versatile and works especially well with Fire characters that can inflict local debuffs. Notable Fire characters with local debuffs are:

Additionally, sacrificial unitsCharacters that can cause themselves (or a party member) to be knocked out. that can be used to activate Fraux's  Strength UprightWhen Switching to Main Ally:

Weapons

Given both her high healing capabilities and defense from Indominus Indominus:
400%-500% Fire damage to a foe (Damage cap: ~480,000).
Gain 10% ATK Up (Stackable / Max: 100%)ATK is boosted (Stackable / Can't be removed)

Restore all allies' HP based on damage dealt and remove 1 debuff., she works especially well with Stamina-based setups. Because of her ATK Up (Stackable)ATK is boosted (Stackable / Can't be removed)
, she hits hard even with Enmity setups. Weapons that boost the Skill Damage Cap (e.g. Ultima Weapons, Dark Opus Weapons, Ushumgal) immensely helps Fraux's damage output since a lot of her damage come from skills.

Given Fraux's already strong attacks when buffed with ATK Up (Stackable)ATK is boosted (Stackable / Can't be removed)
, the need for the offensive nodes are reduced and instead allows the player to focus on multi-attack rate and improving her QoL with higher healing and more reliable debuffs. Critical Hit is not included in the above recommendation since, as stated previously, Fraux already has less needs for the offensive nodes so the more reliable but less potent ATK and Fire ATK nodes would do better. A huge portion of Fraux's damage comes from skills and as such, maxing the Skill Cap Up node is a must.

The Remaining Points (3):

  • DA or TA to maximize her multi-attack rate.
  • HP or DEF to further improve her survival.
  • ATK or Fire ATK to increase her base damage.

Gamewith's recommended EMP build for Fraux.

Priorities

Prioritize Skill DMG Cap and Healing first to boost Fraux's strengths. It's then recommended to spend points on Fire ATK and C.A. DMG which have the greatest benefits for offensive power.

After those, gauge what is best for Fraux. For more offensive power, get Critical Hit up to 3★. However, since Fraux's multiattack rate is lacking, getting points to Double Attack or Triple Attack is recommended as well. If Fraux's firepower is sufficient and is often used in high difficulty fights, then it's recommended to take DEF and HP instead.
