Review
Damage dealer
We have reworked our tier list owing to multiple meta shifts and how we rate characters. As such some of the reviews (especially of older characters) might not match the tier list ratings. Please prioritize the ratings given over provided Review. We will be working on updating all reviews, but it is a time-consuming endeavor.
The fully awakened Thunder Angel now gets up and personal with her insane AOE skills and Shock-type damage.
Rotation: S1 > Normal Attack > S2 > Repeat
Passive - Claudia’s normal attacks target the furthest enemy and gain stacks of Resonance, dealing bonus Shock-type Damage. She also gains additional ATK/ DEF for each active ally.
Subskill 1 - an AOE attack that inflicts Shock to the enemy, dealing Shock-type damage every 3rd use.
Subskill 2 - an AOE attack that grants Claudia a shield, inflicts stun to all enemies and recovers mana for each enemy affected by Shock.
Main Skill - an AOE attack that ignores DEF, inflicts Shock and Stun to all enemies hit. Claudia gains bonus effects (Mana recovery, Speed boost) based on the number of times this skill is used.
Ultimate - an AOE attack targeting the highest ATK enemy, which ignores DEF, inflicts Shock and Stun to all enemies hit. Also deals additional Shock-type damage (also ignores DEF) to the target and inflicts a Total Damage Taken increase debuff.
Artifact Skill - Increases her Damage Reduction and Damage Dealt. If her HP is about 50%, double those values. She also inflicts a Total Damage Taken increase debuff and Total Damage Dealt reduction to all enemies affected by Shock (Legend+ Artifact). At Origin, all attacks decrease Mana.
We are pretty much in the endgame now. The Devs must have given up on Game Balance, because Claudia has pretty much the full package - insane multipliers, massive AOE damage, incredible tankiness and extremely relevant debuffs. The only downsides would be her Angel-type status and Artifact investment being mandatory for full access to her kit, especially the large amounts of DMG reduction.
Her typing, AOE potential, and Shock-type damage pretty much give her an insane standing for most, if not all, raids. Her Shock damage goes hard against Charite, her AOE potential shines in the Dark Knight, Behemoth and Kayrin raids, and her typing and hit counts go insane against Pluto. Her high Damage Reduction and damage are expected to do well in high-end PvE content (Strive System and Eden Operations) as well.
Synergies
Raid: Claudia could play well with herself (the Original) since the Original’s passive amps Shock Damage, but does compete for the ult slot (OG Claudia needs to use her Ult to access the rest of her utility). Instead, many of her current raid highlights have been in the existing Larimar-Honglan (Peerless)-Garnet (Rapture)-Haru (Kamuy) core. The core features many beneficial effects (constant shields, speed buffs, DMG amp, DMG reduction, ATK buffs, ATK/ DEF reduction) with little downside. Future releases might give her access to more flexible strategies.
PvE: With her insane DMG reduction and AOE damage output, Claudia can be run as a Pseudo-tank, assuming she has sufficient healing and cleanse to back her up. With Lower investment, Claudia should be paired with a tank to draw attention away from her.
Conclusion
As a DPS, Origin Ascension and Legendary+ Artifact is always the baseline we would recommend. Further investment will give her much more personal damage and tankiness, with Legend+ and Origin Artifact being notable breakpoints for utility. However, with no news of the game’s 3rd anniversary celebrations as of yet, we would recommend waiting for news on this before going hard on her banner and artifact.
Pros
Full DPS/ pseudo-tank package.
Incredible AOE reach, can easily hit enemy backline.
Insane Damage output.
Cons
Expensive to ascend.
Artifact investment is basically mandatory.
Average Crit Rate.
