{Evelyn Chevalier Skill Priority

Evelyn's talent priority focuses on maximizing her damage output. Core Skill and Chain Attack are the top priorities due to their CRIT Rate buff and high damage contributions. Next, upgrade Basic Attack and Special Attack to boost her on-field performance. Dodge and Assist are lower priority but should still be leveled after the others are complete.
SkillPriorityExplanation

Upgrading the Core Skill first significantly increases Evelyn's CRIT Rate buff, which is crucial for her overall damage output.
chain_attackchain attack
Chain Attack and Ultimate account for most of Evelyn's damage, making this the highest priority active skill.
basic_attackbasic attack
Improving Basic Attacks raises Garrote DMG, a key part of her combo rotation and consistent damage.
special_attackspecial attack
Special Attacks are used frequently in combat; upgrade them after Chain Attack to enhance sustained damage.
dodgedodge
Dodge can be upgraded later since its main value is the Dodge Counter DMG; other sources contribute more to her damage.
assistassist
Assist abilities deal the least damage overall, so they are lowest priority but should still be upgraded eventually.
