Cassadee is an S-level Mage of the Lightbearer faction. Her kit is versatile and focuses on dealing damage, providing crowd control, and also buffing allies.
One of her primary gimmicks is "Tidal Strength", which causes her to target the nearest ally (seen by the target marker) with a blessing that causes her to deal additional magic damage when the affected ally attacks an enemy. At LVL 151, she routinely reapplies the buff every 5 seconds, allowing her to get some decent damage over time in. Her other skill, "Undercurrent", gives her a bit of single-target crowd control to throw around, but it isn't anything surprising.
Her Ultimate: "Running Tide", is a column attack that deals decent damage and knocks away enemies in a straight line. It is pretty wide, so it is great for displacing groups of enemies at once (especially useful if there's an annoying healer keeping opponents alive in the back).
Her Exclusive Weapon unlocks the "Tidal Blessing" skill, causing her Ultimate to apply "Tidal Strength" to allies in the path of the wave. In addition, at +10, whenever an enemy takes damage from "Tidal Strength" a certain amount of times they are automatically hit by an "Undercurrent". This, as you can guess, greatly improves both Cassadee's support and crowd control capabilities, and is an appealing EX to go for.
The problem with this, and Cassadee as a whole, is that the Mage class is criminally under-supported at the time of writing this. A lot of Mages (especially Cassadee with her EX Weapon) revolve around using their Ultimate, but their low ATK SPD and the fact that they're in the backline (and thus not getting hit) means that Energy generation can be quite a pain.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great mix of crowd control and support.
One of the most consistent applications of crowd control with EX.
Decent damage over the course of extended fights.
Cons
Struggles with Energy generation.
Kit isn't that impressive without EX.

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.
Why does the +8 breakpoint appear so often?
Because the raw stats you get from upgrading the EX weapon help you more than the passive in some cases. Also, to upgrade the EX from +5 to +8 you need only 30x
Temporal Essence
, while the remaining two levels require additional 45x
Temporal Essence
. So you get the best bang for your buck stopping at +8.
Color explanation:
+0 - the base investment for the character,
+5/8 - the next step that you should do when investing into that character,
+10/15 - 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.
