Character Function and Summary

BUI is a Single Target DPS that has a high damage ceiling at the cost of being extremely random.

Most of BUI’s damage is from her Follow-Up Attacks which have a 45% chance to activate after allies deal damage with a Persona skill, this makes her feel terrible to use as the Main DPS because you need to get lucky to maximize her damage.

The biggest issue with BUI has always been her innate randomness, 45% chance are very bad odds and she can only have 100% chance to Follow-Up Attack twice after using her Skill 3 to make said ally Player 2 or for 1 turn after using her HIGHLIGHT.

However, running BUI as a Sub DPS is where she shines, giving the main DPS some support while needing very little to enable her own payoffs, only needing Shock on the target.

BUI is starting to see more use in CN as more modes want you to run multiple DPS.

Character Synergies
  • Closer: Closer can provide general Electric support and attacks with skills every turn, both of which BUI really likes.

  • Howler (CN only): Howler can inflict foes with heavy Defense Down debuffs and increase Follow-Up Attack damage, she also attacks every turn.

Important Awareness / Weapon Value
  • Awareness 1: This is 20% Critical Rate increase on Follow-Up Attacks and another 10% Critical Rate increase on Follow-Up Attacks if the foe has Shock.

  • Awareness 6: This turns BUI into a semi AoE DPS, allowing you to run her in AoE fights as a Main/Sub DPS.

  • Weapon: While this weapon gives slightly more Critical Rate than the 4 star weapon and for a DPS that can attack many times per turn this is very valuable. However, it’s not recommended to get this as the buff from this has restrictions, meaning in some scenarios it can perform worse than the 4 star weapon.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Only need Shock to enable her damage.

  • Can buff Critical Rate for ally with Player 2, making her better as a Sub DPS.

Cons

  • Horrible player experience if you want to maximize damage.

  • Wants teammates that will attack every turn in order to activate her Follow-Up, limiting what kind of characters you want to run.
