Character Function and Summary

Closer is an AoE DPS that plays well against foes having Shock.

While the game labels her as a Sweeper, in practice she plays more like a Assassin/Strategist hybrid by dealing decent damage from her Skill 2 and her overall kit providing Electric support.

Outside of BUI (the second limited character for CN) teams she is rarely used as her Electric support is rarely needed with how many ways Wonder can also inflict Shock and how little Electric characters are there in the first place.

Character Synergies
  • BUI (CN only): Closer can provide Electric support and all of her skills are attacks, giving you more chances to trigger BUI’s Follow-Up Attacks.

Important Awareness / Weapon Values
  • Awareness 6: This gives Closer more Electric support.

  • Weapon: This weapon gives Closer even more Electric support, but this does too little as she is still rarely used.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Provides Electric support and can inflict Shock.

Cons

  • Deals too little damage for an AoE DPS.

  • One of if not the lowest HP character in the game, very easy for her to faint.
