Review
Review
Atalanta is an S-rank Lightbearer Marksman. Her kit revolves around Crowd Control and AOE damage whilst being terrible at it.
Starting with Scorching Gift, which launches an explosive bolt that deals damage to the primary target and nearby enemies, its issue lies in its AOE damage. The AOE only inflicts 60% of the damage dealt to the main target, which feels inconsistent, especially since her entire kit seems to revolve around this effect. For instance, her Ultimate, Wild Sniper, launches a bolt with a similar explosive effect, but again, the AOE damage is lower compared to the bolt's initial impact. While the Ultimate does inflict a 2-second stun, the reduced AOE damage makes it feel underwhelming.
Sweet Encounter is pretty much some CC skill with an unusually long cooldown which in today's standards doesn't feel right. Hero Focus of Haste is amazing for her kit that ramps up when she deals damage to multiple enemies.
Unlocking the EX Weapon doesn’t feel particularly impactful either as it merely allows you to use Sweet Encounter twice at the start and increases its damage by a negligible amount. Upgrading it further unlocks the ability to steal 10% of the target's ATK and DEF, but even this effect falls short. The stolen stats only last for a limited duration before they expire, making the upgrade feel underwhelming and hardly worth the investment.
Enhance Force makes it so that she heals every time she does her Ultimate IF she can spam it often, which she doesn't. Overall there's not much of a reason to invest in her dupes either.
Performance in Various Game Modes:
Story and AFK stages – Atalanta is practically unused here, and it’s not hard to see why.
Dream Realm – She is one if not the worst DPS that anyone could consider.
PVP – There is some hope for her but she needs a lot of buffs before she performs in this mode.
Conclusion
There is no hope for Atalanta to shine outside maybe Dura's Trials when she gets a massive stat buff. Beyond that, she falls short compared to many other DPS in the game.
Pros & Cons
Pros
She is hot? Maybe.
Cons
Long cooldowns.

EX Investment
Since the
Temporal Essence
and
Twilight Essence
are very hard to obtain, you have to be really careful with the using them to upgrade the EX weapon. And in this guide we ordered all characters by the priority when it comes to how much they need investment in their EX weapon to work well and where should you stop to get the best bang for your buck.
Color explanation:
+X - where every character starts,
+X - the next step that you should do when investing into that character - for some characters this will be enough,
+X - the final step you should do when investing into that character - you can go beyond that later though once you have the Essences to spare.
