Review
Wavecatcher Puppet is an Ice Sweeper with an outstanding buff extension mechanic.
Wavecatcher Puppet will restore SP at the start of each ally's action and can open a special domain (Surf state) after using her Skill 3. When Surf state is active, Wavecatcher Puppet will:
Gain Null Down + Null Spiritual Ailments;
When gaining any effect (including debuffs), extend its duration by 1 turn;
When an ally ends their turn, automatically deal AoE Resonance damage (Catch a Wave) if Wavecatcher Puppet has enough SP, and gain 1 Offshore stack that increases her Skill 2 damage.
This means she can deal constant damage, make any buffs she gained last longer, build towards a powerful Skill 2, and foes cannot easily disrupt her game plan as she has immunity. Her Resonance will deal more damage but cost more SP the longer the domain is active, meaning you should use Skill 2 to cash in all the Offshore stacks and reset her Resonance SP cost, instead of staying in Surf state for too long.
She has both built-in Critical Rate and Critical Damage, and even more from R0. For teambuilding, with how she deals damage, she has the most flexibility out of all DPS, being able to do well in both a 2-turn or 3-turn cycle and paired with any support.
While she plays way better with Strategists over Saboteurs with her buff extension mechanic, she is also very self-sufficient, needing 0 effects from specific characters to enable her payoff, allowing you to adjust based on the fight and who you are bringing.
Keep in mind that as she will activate her Resonance after every ally's action, it is best to put characters with higher impact effects earlier in turn order. She has a unique character-building requirement of SP Recovery that is contextual and changes based on the characters you bring. The goal is to activate 1 Resonance after every action, test in battle and adjust this if there are other ways to restore SP; the usual breakpoints are either base SP Recovery of 280%+ without any Extra Action character, 330%+ with Turbo, or 310%+ when Wavecatcher Puppet is Awareness 1 and is not playing the Skill 3 > Skill 2 rotation.
Between her buff extension mechanic, teambuilding options, and general strength, Wavecatcher Puppet is one of the most versatile Sweeper to date.
Turbo: Turbo can gain Extra Action, which can enable Wavecatcher Puppet to activate more Catch a Wave and gain more Offshore stacks.
Beachflower Marian: Wavecatcher Puppet’s buff extension mechanic can make Beachflower Marian’s items last for 1 turn longer.
Important Awareness / Weapon Value
Awareness 1: One of the strongest Awareness for any DPS. Wavecatcher Puppet can now extend all effects by 1 turn when she uses her Skill 3, meaning you can extend the same buffs multiple times by using a Skill 3 > Skill 2 rotation and stack a ridiculous amount of buffs. For example, a 3-turn buff used on turn 1 will now last for 6 turns.
Awareness 6: Wavecatcher Puppet will now enter her Surf state at the start of battle and she will not exit Surf state when using Skill 2, meaning there is now no downtime for her damage.
Weapon: This weapon provides Critical Damage as its main stat, which is both very strong and rare; it also provides Critical Rate.
Flexible character with many teambuilding options.
Deals constant damage after every action.
Strong Awareness growth.
Cons:
Might need to edit the build for more/less SP Recovery based on the rotation.
