Resonance SolsticeCarolineBuild and Guide

Caroline centers around [Electrify] and [Magnetize]; her Ultimate enables the whole team to apply [Electrify] with all hits. Improving her resonance also increases the effectiveness of [Magnetize] and damage of Electro-related effects.

Playstyle and Key Mechanics

Caroline’s playstyle revolves around maintaining consistent [Electrify] with her [Drone] and supporting the team with card draw and cost regeneration. Her key mechanics include:

• Her first card, [Flashstrike], deploys a [Drone] for 5 seconds that circles enemies while dealing damage and triggering [Electrify] each second. This is her primary tool to consistently apply [Lightning].

• [Magnade] is a high-cost card that fires 5 electromagnetic bombs, dealing damage 5 times in an area, applying [Magnetize] status (double chance for the target to get [Electrify] for 6 seconds) and triggering [Electrify]. This is her Main AoE ability that also enables card-drawing mechanics through her Resonance.

• [Thunder Vortex] is her Ultimate card that makes all allies [Electrify] enemies with all attacks. This is a really powerful skill and what makes Caroline the main support for Electro-based decks. With her A2, its duration is extended from 6 seconds to 9.

Investment

Similar to most SSR characters, Caroline’s power scales significantly with investment, though she can function at lower dupes in Electric teams:

• Awakening 1 - Valuable breakthrough, draws [Drone] cards when using Leader skills, which has direct synergy with her own card [Flashstrike], allowing her to have fantastic uptime on applying [Electrify].

• Awakening 2 - Extends [Thunder Vortex] from 6 seconds to 9, increasing your Electro damage window by around 50% when using that card.

• Awakening 5 - Even more synergy with [Drone] cards, extending their duration by 2 seconds.

Resonance

• Resonance 1 - Essential for lightning decks. Provides card draw after using [Magnade], giving priority to even more [Electrify] cards.

• Resonance 2 - Major damage boost that makes Caroline's [Lightning] deal way more damage.

• Resonance 4 - Extends [Magnetize] duration by 3 seconds, improving enemy vulnerability window.

• Resonance 5 - If you are running Electro Decks, you need to get this upgrade. This Resonance recovers 0.1 cost per [Electrify], making Caroline an all-rounder that deals damage and acts as a Cost Battery while buffing all Electro damage.

Synergies

Any Electro character will benefit from being on the same team as Caroline; some of the most notorious ones include:

• Nicola - The best option to pair with Caroline, since Nicola’s kit revolves around [Electrify] triggers and [Drones]. They are a match made in heaven, since all of Caroline’s kit and upgrades focus on the same effects.

• Fenia - Fenia’s damage scales the more [Electrify] enemies are on the battlefield, making Caroline a great buffer for her since she will constantly proc and apply it with her [Drone].

• Nayuta - Universal support character that provides constant card drawing for faster rotations and can proc [Bolt: Disintegrate] for even more [Electrify] uptime.

Even outside Electro teams, you can find Caroline as a general Support/Sub-DPS character, since she can make everyone apply [Electrify] with [Thunder Vortex]. As a general rule of thumb, she will not be the Leader unless you have no better option, since characters like Nicola, Nayuta or even Stella exist.
