Vivian Banshee Best Teams and Bangboo

Vivian F2P Team

Budget Vivian team. Uses Nicole's DEF shred to activate Vivian's Additional Ability. Billy serves as the on-field DPS and can help trigger Vivian when she's off-field.

Vivian Anomaly Team

Disorder-focused Vivian team. Pair Vivian with another Anomaly of a different attribute (here: Miyabi) and use a support (Yuzuha). Trigger Corruption with Vivian, then switch to the other Anomaly and inflict a different Attribute Anomaly to activate Disorder.

Vivian Banshee Skill Priority

Vivian's talents priority is as follows:

  • Core Skill: This is the most important skill to upgrade first as it increases Anomaly and Disorder DMG.
  • Basic Attack: This skill is crucial for entering the Noblewoman state, so it should be upgraded along with the Special Attack.
  • Dodge: This skill can be skipped as Vivian doesn't stay on-field for long.
  • Assist: This skill can be saved for last as it contributes the least amount of Daze.
  • Special Attack: This skill is necessary for Vivian's rotations and should be upgraded.
  • Chain Attack: This skill is great for dealing damage and should be upgraded.
