- Applies Razor Clawmark debuff that deals Physical DoT and increases Physical/Heat DMG taken
- Gains critical rate and critical damage buffs from her Combo Skill
- Ultimate Razor Claw Ambuscade applies Heat Infliction to enable rotations
Scaling
- Scales well with critical rate and critical damage due to innate crit buffs
- Benefiting greatly from team support that can apply Arts Inflictions
- Currently limited by reliance on specific supports like Gilberta but remains futureproof

Team Insights
Rossi excels as a sub-DPS or main DPS depending on team composition. Her kit revolves around applying Vulnerable stacks and Razor Clawmark to boost her own or allies' damage. She synergizes well with characters that apply Combustion (Gilberta, Wulfgard) or provide debuffs (Perlica, Ardelia). In hypercarry teams, she focuses on her Ultimate's Heat damage, requiring supports like Gilberta and Perlica for debuffs. As a sub-DPS, she enables Crush carries like Da Pan or Endministrator. Team rotations often involve building Vulnerable stacks before unleashing a primary damage dealer's burst.
Synergy Patterns
- Combustion synergy: Gilberta and Wulfgard apply Combustion, triggering Rossi's Seething Blood talent.
- Vulnerable stacking: Gilberta, Perlica, Ardelia, and Rossi herself stack Vulnerable for Crush carriers.
- Crush synergy: Endministrator and Da Pan benefit from high Vulnerable stacks and Razor Clawmark.
- Burst support: Perlica's Electrification and Gilberta's Arts Susceptibility boost Rossi's Ultimate damage.
Tips
- Use Rossi's Combo Skill early in the rotation for critical rate and damage buffs.
- In Crush teams, ensure Razor Clawmark is applied before the main DPS's combo to maximize damage.
- Rossi's Final Strike can be used to trigger certain Combo Skills (e.g., Ardelia's) without consuming Inflictions.
- Manage SP carefully in F2P teams by performing Perfect Dodges and Final Strikes mid-rotation.
- Place Rossi after characters like Wulfgard in team order to control Combo Skill triggering timing.
