Analysis
Review
Novel is a Burst II SMG Defender who specializes in making enemies' lives hell by debuffing them. While she is classified as a Defender, in reality, she's one of the best debuffers in the game and she will be a staple of a lot Boss killing teams.
Her main strength lies in her Burst skill which increases the amount of damage an enemy takes. To balance it out, to activate the debuff, she needs to fire 500 shots, but thankfully with her being an SMG wielder, while it will take some time, it's doable.
Still, in normal stages, she's not that good as it takes her time to stack her buff and the Damage Taken debuff only affects a single enemy.
