Review

Chelsea is a Defense crew member who enables Leaders to inflict [Erode] with their Hits. She also boosts her own Max HP, ATK and DEF as she generates and retrieves cards, and she is a good fit for existing Black-card teams or Erode teams.

Playstyle and Key Mechanics

Chelsea is a Defense Support built around generating and retrieving cards, especially Black cards and [Dredge]. Her kit revolves around adding derivative cards to her hand and stacking Max HP, ATK and DEF through card generation and retrieval.

Main Cards:

Her first card is [Exegesis], a purple card where she chooses 1 from [Wellspring], [Elixir] and [Abyssal Draw] and adds it to her hand. Afterward, she generates 1 [Reverengy] at the bottom of the deck.
The next card is [Dredge], a black card that, when obtained, inflicts [Corrupt] on all enemies and draws 1 card, prioritizing the Leader’s card. It’s discarded after 10 secs and cannot be [Destroyed] or [Converted].
Then her ultimate [Scrying Mirror], where she deploys [Mirror of Revelation] for 6 secs, rebounding 50% of DMG taken during that time and when it expires, it deals Reverengy DMG once to all enemies. The DMG scales by her DEF and the sum of all allies’ Max HP.

Derivative:

[Wellspring] - Adds up to 3 Black cards from the deck to your hand. If there are no Black cards, it draws 1 card.
[Elixir] - Heals an ally for 50% of Max HP and adds up to 3 of that ally’s 3-Cost cards from the discard pile to your hand.
[Abyssal Draw] - Generates 3 [Shadowcraft] in your hand, which can exceed hand size.
[Shadowcraft] - Casts an Arcane Spell on the target, dealing DMG once and inflicting [Injure] and [Curse]. Special Effect [Darkest Hour] triggers after using this card 13 times.

Investment

Chelsea’s Awakenings mostly scale her own stats and the team’s Reverengy damage, and they work best when [Dredge] is cycling through her hand and discard pile.

Awakening 1 - For each card generated, increase self Max HP. For each card retrieved, increase self ATK and DEF.
Awakening 2 - Whenever obtaining [Dredge], increase allies’ Reverengy DMG dealt.
Awakening 4 - When [Dredge] is in your hand, increase hand size by 1. When [Dredge] is in the discard pile, gain 0.1 Cost per second. This effect stacks.
Awakening 5 - For each Black card in the deck, the discard pile and your hand, increase the Leader’s ATK and DEF.

Resonance

Resonance 1 — For each Black card generated, get a 10% chance to draw 1 card.
Resonance 2 — When [Dredge] is in your hand, the Leader’s every hit inflicts [Erode], excluding damage effects.
Resonance 4 — For each allied [Angel] on the field, increase self Max HP by 100% and take 50% DMG in their place. If there are no allied [Angels], increase all allies’ Max HP by 20%.
Resonance 5 — When using [Scrying Mirror], add 1 [Dredge] from the deck or the discard pile to your hand.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Has her LOOP, which creates a unique card rotation for specific teams, enabling them to stack black cards or simply benefit from having [Dredge] at high uptime in their hand.

Cons

Extremely team-limited.

Comment

Featuring Chelsea's card looping capabilities by doing the Exegesis + Self Elixir combo, which permanently keeps Dredge in hand for the Leader (Ushana) consistently applies Erode on any hits she deals. One Major downside is that not being able to acquire Exegesis for the first minute bricks the run.
