Centi (Treasure)Information and Guide

Preface

Mighty Tools is soooo back! Liter’s Treasure next, trust. 

Can you give a brief summary about this unit?

Improved in every way, Centi's Treasure allows her to protect the team for the first 5s in PvP (unless insta-nuked) and boost Iron-Code allies' Elemental DMG in PvE. Here's a deeper explanation:

• PvE: CentiTr can now strengthen mainly Iron-Code allies in long fights, such as Bossing, and provide slight protection through Shared Shield. She also has high burst gen, which can complement slower teams. Note that she doesn't work with RRH because she is Fire but works with Sugar (Treasure), who is Iron, even against Water enemies.

• PvP: CentiTr pads allies' HP through Stockpile to allow them to survive stronger hits. Additionally, every time an ally drops below 100% HP, all allies are healed +7% of her final Max HP. Against weaker hits, this basically makes the team immortal for its 5s duration. This enables some comps that were previously weaker. Unfortunately, her Burst is weak, and she doesn't protect the team against AoE after 5s and one-shot Nukes. Thus, she is better seen as a reinforcer than a carry.

Should I pull or mileage this unit?

For PvP players, the answer is ABSOLUTE YES because she is meta. PvE players can DELAY her until after HelmTr, PrivTr, MoranTr, FloraTr, and even the Shotgun Trio (ToveTr-DrakeTr-SugarTr).

Additional considerations:

• If you are a PvE main who needs immediate help in PvP and has enough resources to build everyone, build CentiTr now because you can still build the rest when they matter (before next Solo Raid).

• If you don't care about Iron-weak UR and SR, she has no use and can be skipped.

Should I get dupes?

CentiTr does provide caster's ATK▲, which means she scales on dupes. However, due to her PvE being limited to Iron, we only recommend dupes to competitive Iron-weak SR players. PvP players can also consider since CP boost + higher padding/healing can be game-changing.

Kit Analysis

Phase 1 - Skill 2

In addition to the current Shared Shield, every time S2 triggers, Centi buffs all allies' ATK by 4.6% of her base ATK; this stacks up to 10 times and lasts 8 seconds. Since Defender's ATK growth is only slightly higher than 66.7% of Attacker's, we can say that 46% is only ~31-32% after static boosts.

• This applies to all allies, not only Iron-Code, but the value is quite small, especially for those with diluted ATK▲. This alone is not enough to make her meta.

• Thanks to S1's CDR, this skill will reactivate before 8s, so the buff is permanent as long as Centi keeps Full Charging.

• Depending on Max Ammo/Reload Speed & Charge Speed, and whether you Auto or Manual to skip animation between shots, it takes 51-62s to reach max stacks.

  • Stack refreshers can shorten this, but there aren't ones that are Iron meta at the moment.

• Sometimes, a long QTE screen will make this buff expire and you have to grind it again. Shouldn’t bring Centi on those bosses (For example: Ultra)

Phase 2 - Skill 1

This is a base skill that we want to address as it is the backbone of Centi's Treasure. Every time Centi performs a Full Charge attack, Centi reduces the cooldown of S2 by up to 0.82s (Lv. 10). This is the most important part of this skill as quicker activations of S2 = faster ramp-up = more team damage.

• Make sure CentiTr keeps Full Charging until max stacks. You can still mindfully spam her for burst gen if needed and there are no other options.

• For optimal speed, manual to skip animation between shots. This way, you can save up to 0.2s per shot, which accumulates.

• Max Ammo and Charge Speed OL can speed this up by 5-10% or higher.

Because CentiTr's buffs ramp up slowly, teams with weaker starts and stronger ends are more benefitted. You can also Burst with your best DPS 2nd instead, if aiming for 14 rotations.

With Treasure, CentiTr additionally gains the ability to buff Iron-Code allies' Elemental DMG. This is self-explanatory. It's powerful and the reason why CentiTr is relevant.

For the Stockpile component, please refer to Tier List & Usage Analysis - PvP. In PvE, Stockpile is nearly worthless because it only lasts 5s.

Phase 3 - Burst Skill

Whenever Centi uses Burst Skill, she heals all allies by 30.2% of her final Max HP.

• In PvE, while she is ideally used off-burst, some teams will have her Bursting. This is even more true if the boss hurts. Examples are ZweiTr CentiTr SW Maxwell SHelm comp and ToveTr CentiTr BSoda SugarT DrakeT comp. Both of these teams may not be their best versions, but this shows CentiT can be substituted in when you need healing + buffing.

• Useless in PvP, but sometimes she Bursts or is used as an emergency B2 Burst. Its impact will depend on whether S1 already keeps everyone very healthy.

Tier List & Usage Analysis

Campaign

The new Centi (Treasure) is weaker than her old Treasure form and is not much perceptibly stronger than her original.

• The Individual Shield was good for people without Crown or Tia, but it was unfortunately removed. That ability now belongs to FloraT.

  • Individual Shield used to be enough back in 2023, but in 2026, it's better to go extra offense.

• The ATK and ELE buffs are mediocre for short battles because they take ~1 minute to ramp up and are only functional against Electric. While you can stall, she gives no offensive buffs at all for the first Burst of the battle. They are also mainly for Iron-Code allies, which don't include RRH. The only meta Iron mobbers are SCindy and RH.

• She still has nice burst gen—usable if you desperately need it. In tandem with Shared Shield, she can be someone a Beginner would love.

As her improvements are not that much, and she falls off late game, we will leave her at her original rating.

Bossing

The new Centi is now usable for Iron-weak SR and UR (in non-primary teams). She can be used for two purposes:

• Healer Burst 2: While Centi is ideally used as off-burst, in teams with B1 + CDR or with off-burst B3, such as ZweiTr + SHelm and ToveTr + DrakeTr, she can buff and heal at the same time. This is great for bosses that deal too much damage!

• Off-Burst Buffer/Shielder: Centi buffs allies and applies Shield even as off-burst. Since her Burst Skill doesn't have offensive buffs, it's better to bring another B2 (Buffer) if possible.

When testing her, we discovered building an optimal team with her is tough due to the 2 B2 requirement. Comparing her to FloraT, FloraT actually also has the same problem, but the difference is that SHE'S REALLY GOOD and works on all elements. Because of her issues and inability to be UR meta, we believe CentiTr is similar to Takina—niche but strong with the right Nikkes and in the right environment.

PvP

She finally knows how to operate her hammer not to smack herself but the enemies. Welcome the fourth SSS-tier B2 to the fray, CentiTr!

A key defensive unit for both Attack and Defense, CentiTr makes the team 'pseudo-Immortal' for the first 5s. When entering the field, she gives a Storage-like ability Stockpile that pads allies' Max HP and heals them the same amount. Then, every time an ally HP drops below 100%, all allies are healed by up to +7%. This can happen infinite times as long as the attacked units' HP don't drop too far below (that the heal cannot top them back up above 100%, thus stopping the chain). Note that the activation condition is on one unit, but the effect is holistic, which means a single enemy attack can heal everyone by +35%.

This makes her a Biscuit-like unit without impact after 5s. Whereas Biscuit can provide Immunity after 5s (vital for stall comps), CentiTr provides 'Immunity' only in the first 5s, and that's against weak hits (esp. non-elemental-advantaged) and non-Insta Kills. This means CentiTr cannot block Libby's or Lapluh's Nuke.

Let’s think of a situation. Moran Noah FLEX Helm VestiTU. This team is a kind of stall team with Moran and Helm burst to heal while Vesti slowly chips people with RL. The problem is, what to put in FLEX’s slot? Trina will make Moran strong, but Noah will probably die due to enemy’s Vesti pressure on her. Biscuit is safe, but this team becomes quite slow.

=> Centi saves the day. She makes sure Noah survives until Bburst, quite like how Biscuit protects Noah, but this time Centi provides as much burst gen as Trina. A combination of both, pretty great right? And unlike Biscuit, Centi doesn’t care if your precious P1/P2 are Defenders or not.

That said, CentiTr has much higher burst gen than Biscuit, and she doesn't have "Defender requirement". This makes her versatile enough that she can form her own team! On Defense, she can form her own team (e.g. Noah Soda Lapluh CentiTr HelmTr) or strengthen an existing one (e.g. MoranTr Noah CentiTr HelmTr Siren). On Attack, she makes 3/3 wins a piece of cake as you can now safely run previously-precarious teams (e.g. Trina Siren CentiTr Lapluh HelmTr or SWHA Blanc Ada CentiTr Jackal) safely even against TVesti!

CentiTr is truly magnificent! You must get her if you care even the slightest about PvP.

Also, she works with Nero if you want.

Investments

Gear Investments

For most players, CentiTr only needs ATK-gear level but not OL rerolls. If you are a tryhard, however, you may want to upgrade HP-gear level (PvP) or obtain Max Ammo + Charge Speed (PvE). If paired with Anis: Star, who gives Explosive DMG▲, you can spam her for additional damage after max stacks. Just make sure to Full Charge twice per S2 activation.

• Tryhard Goal (PvE): 4× Charge Speed, 2× Max Ammo

  • More Tryhard Goal (PvE): 4× Charge Speed, 2× Max Ammo, 4× ELE, 2× ATK

• Tryhard Goal (PvP): 4× Charge Speed

Skill Investments

PvE:

• Skill 1: 10

  • Must be Lv. 10. Gives the biggest impact and the CDR reduction scales with level.

• Skill 2: 7~10

  • Ideally Lv. 10, but damage gain from ATK is usually smaller due to dilution. Lv. 7 is okay if you want to save materials.

• Burst Skill: 4~7

  • Doesn't matter unless you need healing—and even then, Lv. 7 is basically free for veterans and more than enough.

PvP:

• Skill 1: 7~10

  • The only skill that matters. You must upgrade it to Lv. 7, but for maximum performance, Lv. 10 is recommended.

• Skill 2: Any

  • Doesn’t notably benefit PvP.

• Burst Skill: 4~10

  • Can matter if she is Bursting, but in most teams, it is rarely used. Even if it does get used, Lv. 7 is a good-enough compromise.

Cube Investments

In PvE, Resilience (then Bastion) are the best for more convenient burst gen + faster S1-S2 stacking, but as with other supports who give caster's ATK, prioritize highest-level cube.

In PvP, Vigor and Healing are the best cubes as they allow her to heal more when allies fall below 100%. Tempering, Quantum, and Adjutant can also be used. When they are not available or influential, use the highest-level cube.

Doll Investments

• PvE Notes: Not a priority at all. Only important late game if you are Iron-weak SR competitive.

• PvP Notes: Must get. Build after HelmTr (and before/after MoranTr), especially if you don't have Biscuit.
