Jessica's support skill

Your recent edit to Jessica's page regarding her support skill is questionable, so I had to revert it. I could not find on either gbf-wiki or GameWith that her support skill works from the backline. This is the first I've heard of this despite her being released in 2016.

I use Jessica on the backline with her EMP support, it's verifiable ingame due to the calculator reflecting the ATK buff on a male MC. If needed I can post pictures, although I'd appreciate some guidance -- I'm not used to wikis

Unfortunately, the in-game damage estimator isn't considered reliable by itself. In particular, the estimated damage changes, but not the ATK value for male characters. Testing versus the training dummy (non-elemental) and recording values (Jessica vs. no Jessica) to a spreadsheet is the best evidence to prove or disprove this case.

I see. I'll do that when I have the time.

So I discussed this situation with some staff members on discord. It looks like this is a long-standing issue with multiple characters. Narmaya's  Fortified Vigor10% boost to ATKNormal Modifier for all Draph, Primal, and Unknown allies. also affects MC the estimated damage even though it has been known for a long time that it does not work from the backline. Lilele is also another character.

For the most part, you do not need to do any testing. Generally speaking, you should not assume a support skill works from the backline unless it is:

  1. specifically stated in the game
  2. tested in battle

The MC's estimated damage should be taken with a grain of salt.
