Review
Celince is a rather unique Animus, combining powerful, but niche and hard to land debuffs and a recurring Shield that is refreshed every turn, but isn’t as big as most other dedicated shielders in exchange.
Celince’s S2 is a passive, applying a unique [Aqua Shield] to all allies at the end of each of her turns as long as she’s not Hard CCed, which functions quite differently from other Shields. This Shield can only ever absorb half of the damage inflicted on the protected Animus, meaning that without other sources of protection, the Animus always suffers at least 50% of the blow directly to their HP. This is critical, as it means that a low Health unit can potentially die from a hit even though the shield is active on them. As a trade-off, 85% of the damage mitigated by the shield is directly reflected to the attacker, and this damage is not affected by the enemy ’s Affinity, DEF or an ATK- on Celince.
Celince’s S3 is where her strong Debuffs are, in the form of a 4-hit AOE that can apply both [ATK-] and [Forgetfulness], the latter preventing any Passive effect from triggering. This applies to Passive Skills (like Celince’s own S2 for example) but also any Passive component usually found on Skill 1s, for example Tiamat’s, Freya’s or even Heinrich’s. Her S1, although pretty good, is mostly there to fill the gap in her rotation when her S3 is on cooldown or you simply don’t want to waste it on immune enemies, with it having a below average chance to apply two debuffs among [DoT], [Silence] and [Forgetfulness].
In PVE, Celince is a very strong pick for Dokidoki, offering both the much-needed [Damage Reduction] disable but also [ATK-] and recurring Shields. In the rest of the content, Celince is more of a Support/Defensive Debuffer as her [Forgetfulness] Debuff doesn’t work on most Bosses.
In PVP however, Celince shines as a versatile pick: a very high HP and fast Celince can return an AOE right back at the enemy, possibly one shotting their nuker. She can also be played in slower, sturdier setups, with the goal of constantly preventing the enemy from unleashing their potential.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Has multiple strong effects to bring to Dokidoki.
Offers recurring protection without pressing a Skill.
A surprising amount of Animus rely on passive effects, and more are certain to be released.
Very high uptime with her low CD.
Can one shot a carry through reflect.
Cons
Cleanse and Immunity are abundant.
The shield offers average protection.
Dying with the shield on does not activate the reflect damage.

Best Shells
1
After the main body's turn, a Follow-up Attack on the main target dealing 240%+4200 damage, applies [SPD+] for 3 turns to the main Animus, applies and increases their Turn Meter by 25%.
Widely used and incredibly potent all-around supportive option, granting a 25% gauge boost on use as well as [SPD+] boost with 100% uptime. It also deals decent damage when used. Possesses most of the best supportive matrixes, further adding to its flexibility and wide use cases. Loses most of its value when used in teams that already have a team member granting the [SPD+] buff with good uptime.
Allows them to cycle their skills faster due to the Speed buff, as well as nice extra damage from the extra Attack it provides.

- 12 set: >Swiftrush [12/12]

Before the owner acts, unleashes the owner Animus' full potential making their next skill cost no CD and increasing their SPD by an additional 10% for 2 turn(s). In PvP modes, after being affected by Codex of Magic, skills that did not go on cooldown will have their maximum cooldown permanently increased by 1 turn. (a single skill can only be affected once by this increase).
The cooldown of the skill can't be reduced.
An absurdly strong combo Shell that allows the wearer to skip the cooldown of the ability used on the turn this Shell is active. The wearer can use their ultimate or skill twice back to back, unlocking usually impossible personal and team combos. Also grants the wearer a 10% SPD boost after use for 2 turns. Mainly used in PvE burst/combo compositions or PVP. Can be used on both Supports and DPS situationally.
Generic 2x skill spamming. Allows Celince to cycle her debuffs sooner or to apply them if you missed during the first cast.

Jackal Guard to upkeep her Forgetfulness is mandatory at this point. There are rare cases where you see other builds, but this is what 99% of people are using. Tank setup made to work really well in the so-called Debuff Soup comps and just provide a ton of fighting potential against Raymerry’s and other annoying passive abusers.

Stat comments
Celince is the best applier of Forgetfulness currently in the game and this debuff alone can be very strong against a few enemies. Right now, she is mainly used as a debuffer in many dungeons, but she can offer some type of protection DMG as well with her passive.
- HP%: Good stat on her since her S2 uses it the most.
- Effect ACC: Important stat to have since it's needed to have some for consistency with her S3.
- SPD: Just have enough to move before the enemy and after your stripper unit in case u are using one.
Stat comments (PVP)
Celince has become a mainstay to fight both Cleave and pesky Passive abusers. She has some clear Counters like Doki Doki, but she can fit in a lot of good teams nowadays, plus she is helping enable the Diting Plume RC-77 setup to create the nasty Debuff Soup comp.
- Main Stats:
- SPD: Celince wants to be fast to apply debuffs before the enemy moves, removing a lot of their troublesome Passives for the rest of your team to deal with.
- HP: Gives more safety to your team with her Turn 1 Shield and her Aqua Shields after Turn 1.
- Effect ACC: Let's her land her Crit Down and Forgetfulness more consistently.
- Conditional Stats:
- DEF: Since we are stacking HP, any Defense you can get on modules will be nice for making her tankier.

NEEDS ALL MAX. All her skills gain insane value at the last point, the only one you could be without a little is S1 lvl 5, but it is still very good. S2 and S3 max are crucial for her to work at all.
