Physical elements, who belongs to the B.C.R.L. faction. Their position in combat is Rear.
Dorothy is a DPS that primarily focuses on using [Explosives]. She can mainly utilize the [Discard] action to activate her cards, saving cost in the process. With this in mind, she will require allies that can also do [Explosives], making her quite restrictive when it comes to team building.
Playstyle and Key Mechanics
Discard + [Explosives] is one of the unique playstyles introduced with the introduction of Dorothy. Her cards are quite simple and her key mechanic starts from her Resonance upgrades. But first, let's take a look at her cards:
Her first card will be [Legge Bomber], it is a 3-cost Red Card that tosses a projectile that will explode in 3 seconds. Additionally, when it lands, it also deploys [Chained Grenade] and deploys [Zone Lock] to focus basic attack on that area.
The next card is [Bingo!], a 3-cost Red Card that will deploy [Chained Grenade] depending on the number of cards in your hand.
Lastly, we have [Mega Rampage], which is a Yellow Card that draws 3 cards, mainly the red ones. She will toss [Chained Grenade] depending on the cost of the drawn cards.
Investment
Her awakening mainly focuses on her and [Explosive] damage. By getting more awakening she will be able to apply a random elemental status effect. Now let’s check them out 1 by 1:
Awakening 1 - Whenever and [Explosive] detonates, she increases her ATK.
Awakening 2 - Makes her [Explosive] apply [Lightning], [Ignite] or [Chill] randomly.
Awakening 4 - Makes her [Explosive] apply [Thunder], [Blaze] or [Freeze] instead and a chance to double their damage. If both effects are triggered, she will scale the damage of [Chained Grenade] by 10%.
Awakening 5 - Increases the damage of [Explosive] of all allies by 50%.
Resonance
Resonance 1 — Instantly uses [Bingo!] whenever encountering a wave.
Resonance 2 — Improves the usage of [Legge Bomber] by getting 1 cost whenever it enters.
Resonance 4 — Improves the usage of [Legge Bomber] by making it considered use when getting discarded to the discard pile and has an additional effect of reducing the Discard action cooldown by 5 seconds.
Resonance 5 — Dorothy will toss a [Chained Grenade] every time a card is discarded in the discard pile.
Synergies
❗ ❗ ❗ The Synergies mentioned here are merely samples. Taking their core mechanics as an example, you can use many other characters as replacements or other synergies. ❗ ❗ ❗
Heinrich - Easily one of the best members for her teams, by having a kit that focuses heavily on [Explosives] and the team’s defences by providing shields.
Shizuru - Has a cheap [Explosives] card and great drawing capabilities.
Dustin - Best premium support for her at the moment, has great cost generation while also being able to reduce a card cost by 0. Dustin also heals quite decently.
