Review

Awakened Horizon is the second awakened Mech employee added to the game and also the second awakened Air unit.

In PVE she shines because of the damage she brings. Especially her passive that deals additional damage based on the enemy current HP makes her chunk their HP bars with each strike. It's worth noting that the 30% HP-based damage is applied not only on her basic attacks but also on her Special and Ultimate (both use her swords).

%HP-based abilities are always strong in games where enemies HP inflates into millions, and similar to A.Yuna this makes her great against bulky enemies.

While there are better picks for Dive 50, she shines in Shadow Palace floor 5 and the Relic Dungeons where she can help with the Maria stage, though she needs good gear there.

In PVP, she's ultra-hard to kill because with her high attack speed, she gains immunity to all damage periodically and this allows her to survive where she shouldn't. Also, her damage is actually great despite only having 5% HP-based damage instead of 30%. She can be countered by dedicated anti-Air employees like Awakened Lee Sooyeon though.

Alongside other behemoths, she is one of the meta employees in PVP currently.

Pros & Cons
Pros

- %HP based damage that helps with super end-game content where enemies have millions of HP,

- the 3 seconds immunity is a great asset,

- high uptime on the immunity,

- as an air employee she's safer in the sky.

Cons

- weak defensive base stats for a 6 cost employee,

- her special makes her stay close to the frontline which sometimes gets her killed if her immunity isn't up,

- immortality can be buff stripped.

Gear recommendation
PVE gear

Set: Autoattack DPS


Good user of a Challenger weapon.

PVP gear

Set: Autoattack DPS, good user of a Challenger weapon.


Prefers anti-striker lines due to strikers not having MDL. With proper gear, she can almost one-shot most striker frontlines.

The gear recommendations have been simplified and you should use them in combination with this guide (for PVP) and this guide (for PVE).

Awakened Horizon skins aren't available yet or the character has no skins. They will be added soon.
