Review

Review

Matilda is a crit-oriented character, but her kit doesn’t work much in her favor. She needs to be constantly on a buffed state and have her skill “Ingenious Étude” on level 2 or above to use as an opener in order to make the best use of her potential. 

Matilda can be a decent enough Damage Dealer in the early game, but the farther in the game, the more her kit plays against her. Her passives don’t really add anything noticeable, her multipliers are on the lower side, she needs too much set up, and a team built around her to do anything at all. On top of that, her critical technique is below most other critical oriented characters, making it harder for her to get consistent on her critical hits.

Most of these weaknesses could be attenuated if she had access to her Portrays. If you still wish to use her despite all this, she can still fill a sub-DPS and support-ish role by applying Confusion with an innovative Étude. Or you can experiment using her alongside buffers, as Matilda can already fill the role of applying the Confusion debuff herself.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Free character, obtainable through the mail in-game after stage 1-4;

  • Crit-oriented, and can apply [Confusion] by herself, opening more room for team comps.

  • Ultimate can be powerful if it lands a critical hit.

Cons

  • Currently, there's no way to upgrade her Portray; (Gets one free by logging in during patch 1.9)

  • Below average base critical technique for a crit-oriented character;

  • Can be difficult to set up in order to deal damage, being below average most of the time.

Ratings

Code

Prioritizes Critical Rate and Critical DMG. Genuinity provides more consistent critical hits with a side of Incantation Might. With a Critical Rate & DMG Bonus buffer on the team, you can consider Aspirational (Critical DMG/ATK) instead. If you’re using other Inspiration characters, make sure to unlock the same Resonance Pattern on every character because the Impromptu Incantation takes an average of all teammates’ stats.

If you don’t have Resonance Patterns unlocked, try this build with Placidity:

Comments

Matilda's crit-based kit makes good use of the Crit Rate from “For Rehabilitation,” and her single-target Skill 1 can stack up DMG bonus.

“Thunderous Applause” is a good general option for any crit-based character; both Matilda's Ultimate and Skill 1 can benefit from its Crit DMG buff.

“Brave New World” is another good general option and helps with Ult-based gameplay.
