Review

Helena is a support who utilizes the power of gems to apply ATK buffs to the Leader, apply status effects and provide sustain. She also provides card draw that can exceed the hand limit while also generating cost and the sustain she provides can overheal, providing an added defensive layer for the team.

Playstyle and Key Mechanics

Helena is a support who works through [Luminous Gem] and [Prismatic Gem]. Her kit revolves around healing the lowest HP ally, drawing cards of every color, and buffing the Leader’s ATK based on the colors of the cards used. She also gets bonus effects tied to allies’ Max HP going above its initial value.

Main Cards:

Her first card is [Luminous Glow], a 2-cost green card that places 1 [Luminous Gem] on the field for 10 secs. During this time, each card used heals the lowest HP ally for 5% of Max HP. This can exceed their Max HP, up to 150%.
Next card is [Gem Box], a 5-cost yellow card that draws 1 Red, 1 Blue, 1 Yellow, 1 Green and 1 Purple card, the drawn cards can exceed your hand size. Note that this doesn’t compensate for different color cards if a certain color is missing or in the discard pile.
Then [Prismatic Kaleido] her ultimate, which places 1 [Prismatic Gem] on the field for 10 secs and when a card is used, the effect for its color activates and deals DMG once to all enemies, up to once per color.
- [Green]: Increase the Leader’s ATK by 0.05% of the current HP of the ally with the highest HP, up to 150, for 10 secs.
- [Red]: Increase the Leader’s ATK by 2% of the ATK of the ally with the highest ATK, up to 75, for 10 secs.
- [Blue]: Increase the Leader’s ATK by 2% of the DEF of the ally with the highest DEF, up to 75, for 10 secs.
- [Yellow]: When using a [Leader Skill], gain 1 Cost for 10 secs.
- [Purple]: Add 1 card from the discard pile to your hand, prioritizing the Leader’s card and excluding this card.

Derivative:

[Strange Spark] - Deal DMG to all enemies once. This attack ignores the target's DEF. The more cards in the discard pile, the higher the DMG.

Investment

Helena’s Awakenings mostly strengthen [Luminous Glow] effects and improve the team’s overall damage. She is completely fine as a flexible support to all teams thanks to her base kit; reaching Awakening 4 will make her a viable Sub-DPS, but it's not really mandatory.

Awakening 1 - When [Luminous Glow] heals an ally, increase their ATK by 0.5%, up to 50%.
Awakening 2 - For each [Luminous Gem] generated, draw 1 card, prioritizing one belonging to the ally with the highest ATK. When [Luminous Gem] is present, derivative cards deal 50% more Final DMG.
Awakening 4 - When [Luminous Gem] triggers its effect, get a 33% chance to deal Reverb DMG to all enemies once and randomly inflict [Lightning], [Ignite] or [Chill]. The DMG scales by the sum of all allies’ Max HP and average ATK.
Awakening 5 - Whenever an ally’s current Max HP exceeds its initial value by 5%, increase their Final DMG dealt by 1%, up to 60%.

Resonance

Resonance 1 — Cast [Luminous Glow] at the start of battle.
Resonance 2 — Whenever the deck is emptied and triggers a reshuffle, place 1 [Gem Box] at the top of the deck.
Resonance 4 — [Gem Box] requires 2 less Cost.
Resonance 5 — When all effects of [Prismatic Gem] are activated or its time expires, generate 1 [Strange Spark], use it directly, and inflict [Curse], [Wildfire], [Freeze], [Bolt] and [Sleep] based on the order of the activated colors.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Card draw can exceed the hand limit while also providing cost generation when used.
Provides ATK buffs and inflicts Status Effects whenever using different card colors.
Healing provided can Overheal, which can be capitalized by abilities that can scale when MAX HP exceeds certain values.

Cons

If a card of a certain color is in the discard pile or is not present, Jewel Box will not draw an extra card to compensate for the missing card color.
Extremely bad as a leader, her Leader Skill doesn’t have any other way to reduce cooldown and has a basic 30 sec cooldown; this can still be instantly activated by Prayer or The Emperor. Regardless, it's still very ineffective and it's way better to keep her a non-leader for better card cycling.
