Character Function and Summary
Oracle is an Elucidator that can downgrade Resistances.
After using her Skill 3, for 1 turn, Null, Repel, and Drain become Resist; Resist becomes Normal; Normal becomes Weak. Weak attributes take 25% more Weakness damage.
On paper, this would allow you to run any DPS into any fight as Oracle can turn Resist into Normal, but this has some major issues. One, Oracle needs to get to 100 Analysis Progress first and use her Skill 1/Skill 2 to unlock her Skill 3. If the party can’t deal Weakness damage, they can’t get the bonus 20 Analysis Progress when dealing Weakness damage. They would only get 5 Analysis Progress after dealing damage with a Skill/Follow Up/HIGHLIGHT (5 Analysis Progress x 12 Actions is only 60 Analysis Progress). Two, Oracle Skill 1 debuffs will be worse, as that would double when the foe takes Weakness damage.
In reality, you mainly bring Oracle when you can already cover the foe’s Weakness, and use her to improve the Weakness damage multiplier (from 1.2x to 1.45x).
Oracle has strong AoE Defense Down debuffs, allowing you to start fully decreasing foes’ Defense in fights. She can also bring some survivability. Her being an Elucidator means you can run her in any team.
Oracle being debuff-focused makes her worse in fights with new waves and summons, and her hardlocked skill rotation that demands the DPS to work with it in mind is restrictive.
Overall, Oracle is a great Elucidator that plays with one of the game's core mechanics.
Character Synergies
Joker: Joker being able to act twice in one turn means he can deal more hits of damage when Oracle Skill 3 is active.
Berry (CN): Between Berry’s Damage Over Time not accounting for pierce rate and her Damage Over Time having a debuff snapshot mechanic, Oracle’s ability to inflict Defense down can greatly increase Berry’s Damage Over Time damage, as well as allow Berry to essentially take advantage of Oracle Skill 3 for multiple turns.
Important Awareness / Weapon Values
Awareness 1: This gives the party 12% Crit Rate, almost all DPS can't get to 100% Crit Rate without this. Very nice Quality of Life Awareness, as you will use Oracle in many teams.
Awareness 2: Oracle can now prevent 1 ally from KO once per battle. This allows you to play more recklessly with more buffs and less sustain, and is irreplaceable in very hard fights as the only KO prevention that keeps your buffs, a good quality of life effect to have, but expensive.
Awareness 6: Oracle Skill 3 is now AoE, as she will increase the party's Weakness damage if any character's attribute is what the foe is weak to. You can easily get this effect by putting Wonder first and bringing a Persona that has the same affinity as the foe’s Weakness, making her a super cheese unit for changing resistances.
Weapon: This weapon helps with capping her debuffs and has rare Crit Damage Taken effect. Very nice weapon to have, given how common she’s used.
