Character Function and Summary

Panther is an AoE Fire DPS who enters La Vie En Rose state for 1 turn after inflicting Fire damage in 4 separate instances. This skill has a 1-turn cooldown before she can enter it again, while in La Vie En Rose state, she deals increased damage. 

Her Skill 1 increases her own Attack, and increases more if she's in La Vie En Rose state, and also decreases the enemy's Attack. Her Skill 3 deals more damage when she is in La Vie En Rose state.

She typically sets her combo up by using Skill 1 first to gain the Attack buff and deal multiple instances of Fire damage, setting her up to enter La Vie En Rose state on the following turn. After entering La Vie En Rose state, she can unleash Skill 3 for the increased damage. This specific rotation ensures that Skill 3 will always be unleashed when Panther is in La Vie En Rose state. Early in the game, Panther serves as a solid DPS, but she tapers off in later parts unless she reaches Awareness 6, which increases her damage exponentially.

Character Synergies
  • Key: He is an important character in Panther teams early on, contributing to the number of Fire damage instances needed for Panther to enter La Vie En Rose state. He also increases enemies’ Fire damage taken while inflicting Burn, with each Burn proc also counting as a Fire damage instance toward Panther’s La Vie En Rose. He will stay a top tier option until another Debuffer is released in the game.

  • Ange (CN only): As Ange can provide Extra Action to Panther, that Extra Action can be used to decrease Panther’s La Vie En Rose state cooldown, allowing her to enter La Vie En Rose state again in the following turn.

Important Awareness / Weapon Value
  • Awareness 2: After using La Vie En Rose state, she deals damage to 2 random enemies. 

  • Awareness 6: Gives her a chance to gain additional stacks when dealing damage to enemies. While in La Vie En Rose state, these stacks increase her Fire damage by up to 110%, depending on how many she has accumulated.

  • Weapon: It’s recommended to get her 5 star weapon, as it gives her increased Fire damage that further increases when Panther deals damage to burning enemies. It also inflicts Burn if La Vie En Rose state is active.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Decent AoE damage.

  • Easy to use.

Cons

  • Cannot control when she enters La Vie En Rose state.
