Evelyn Chevalier Skill Priority

Evelyn's talents priority should be focused on increasing her overall damage output. The recommended priority order is as follows:

  1. Core Skill: This skill provides a significant increase in CRIT Rate, which is essential for Evelyn's damage output.
  2. Chain Attack: This skill deals massive damage and is a key component of Evelyn's damage output.
  3. Basic Attack: Upgrading this skill will increase Evelyn's Garrote DMG.
  4. Special Attack: This skill will be frequently used in combat, so upgrading it will increase Evelyn's on-field damage.
  5. Dodge and Assist: While these skills contribute less to Evelyn's damage output, they should still be upgraded to provide additional utility and survivability.
