Analysis

Review

Dorothy is a Burst I Supporter who wields an AR. But don't be fooled by her Supporter tag as she's one of the best damage dealers in the game.

Dorothy's Skill 1 already tells you how broken that character will be.

While there are characters that can decrease the cooldown of Burst skills, they need to enter Full Burst mode to do it - and Dorothy just needs to empty her magazine. The second part of the skill gives a massive 50% bonus damage dealt to Boss parts, which will make destroying them much much easier. Similar to D, this is treated as a separate multiplier so the damage you gain thanks to it is pretty high.

When you first look at her Skill 2, it's just average. The 20-second cooldown and only 216% ATK modifier at max level are just okay, but when you go back to the skill after checking the Burst... Well. Also, the distributed damage part is really important - if there are 10 monsters on the screen, each will receive only 21.6% ATK worth of damage, which makes the skill much better against Bosses.

Let's talk about her Burst skill next. The first part of the skill reduces the cooldown of Skill 2 to only 2 seconds which means she will be able to use it 5 times in the window. So the 216% ATK skill just transformed into 1080% ATK damage over 10 seconds.

And if you think that's stupid, wait till you read the second part of the Burst.

Dorothy will mark an enemy with a Brand and for 10 seconds all damage dealt by herself and all her teammates will be added together. Then when the Brand expires, all accumulated damage will be spread out between all enemies present on the battlefield. Which is great when there's just one enemy present because he will be nuked for stupid amounts of damage, but any additional monsters will 'steal' some of it. This makes Dorothy stronger against Bosses without those pesky ads, but she still works there super well.

We also need to do more testing, but it seems that currently only the base accumulated damage is added together and any debuffs or sources of additional damage aren't included in those calculations. Furthermore, a notice was released that confirm that OL ATK bonus not being included is a bug and will be fixed - which means Dorothy will become even stronger after that. Also, keep in mind that the power deficit decreases all your stats which drastically reduces the total damage Dorothy can output with the Burst - so she may struggle in the Campaign.

So what's the summary? Dorothy is broken.

Here, there's your summary, now go and pull her!

But kidding aside, finally, after so long, Liter is no longer the go-to Burst I character, and Dorothy now provides the players with a super good alternative. Dorothy shines especially against Bosses with multiple parts, and while her damage output suffers in the story considering how her Brand damage is split between all monsters, she's still a force to be reckoned with.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Finally an alternative to Liter,

  • Great damage for a Burst I character,

  • Great synergy with Privaty,

  • Enemy has a lot of parts? She will make them vanish instantly,

  • Burst cooldown reduction improves the rotation.

Cons

  • High deficits in Campaign heavily penalize her damage,

  • While she's great on both Bosses with ads and standalone ones, keep in mind that any monster alive after her burst will steal some of the Brand damage.
