character_name Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 dodge | Dodge counter is a minor filler; it does not help the Electric Shock plan that drives her. | |
 assist | Assist upgrades only improve assist damage, not Electric Anomaly Buildup or Shock, so skip. | |
 basic attack | Normal attacks deal little of her total damage; most output comes from Shock. | |
 chain attack | Good Electric AoE damage, but less important than Core Skill and Special Attack. | |
 core skill | Raises Electric Anomaly Buildup, making Shock consistent and faster. | |
 special attack | Primary way she spends field time; levels boost the Shock-triggering attacks she spams. |
