Character Summary
Papasha is a summoner/damage dealer who plays closely around her unkillable summon, the “City Warden”. Papasha’s kit revolves around buffing and directing her summon to assist her in combat.
To briefly cover the summon’s mechanics:
The summon inherits Papasha’s stats - 100% ATK, 100% DEF, but only 80% HP,
The summon cannot be directly controlled outside of Papasha’s S2 and will randomly explore the map on its own free will,
When the summon takes lethal damage, it will not die; instead, it will be disabled for 2 turns and then return to combat with full HP.
Fixed Keys
Fixed Keys core to Papasha’s function are:
04-01 - Unwavering Conviction: Papasha’s fixed key lobotomizes her summon to prevent it from moving on its own, removing much of the frustration that comes with managing it.
02-01 - Glory With Us: Papasha is used almost exclusively as a utility unit against the Guild Boss. As such, the additional stability shred is much appreciated. The bonus damage vs. Large Targets, applicable against the Guild Boss, is a nice touch but ultimately irrelevant as Papasha’s personal damage output is negligible.
Mod Key
Papasha doesn't have a Mod Key yet.
Character Function
Papasha’s main use case is as a utility character in guild content where the additional body count of her summon is used to clear certain boss mechanics. Specifically, it is to pass a 6-target hit check... with a 5-unit team count restriction.
Character Synergies
Papasha is brought along primarily to deal with specific stage mechanics (i.e. the aforementioned guild boss hit check). Her value as an enabler or support within a team composition is relatively minimal, as her abilities lack significant synergy or utility beyond her explicit, designed synergy with her own summon.
Papasha is a fairly self-contained unit with limited interaction with the rest of the character roster beyond as a basic enabler for Qiongjiu’s procs on the basis that her summon can trigger multiple Action Support procs per turn with its counterattacks. However, this is a role for which Qiongjiu has no shortage of alternative enablers to choose from (e.g. Tololo, Daiyan, Belka).
Dupes
SSR characters are reviewed at V0/ V1 strength. However, for those especially dedicated players, it is worth noting Papasha’s significant dupe powerspikes at:
N/A: Papasha’s performance gains from her dupes are minimal, so players need not feel obligated to pull for extra copies.
Pros
Not only she's free, but you can obtain all her dupes and signature weapon from the Guild Shop,
Has a decent damage output - as you basically have 2 characters worth of stats combined,
The summon provides an additional body on the battlefield that can distract enemies and help with some mechanics,
The summon can't die and it will just be disabled for a set number of turns after receiving lethal damage.
Cons
The summon can't be healed or shielded directly so it 'dies' quite easily - as it can only be healed when Papasha is healed,
Forces you to waste a Fixed Key slot to fix the biggest issue with the summon,
Outside of the Guild Battle she sees little use,
It takes forever to obtain her dupes from the Guild Shop.
For Global tier list, both SR and SSR characters are rated at V0 (no dupes). For CN tier list, SSR characters are rated at V0 (no dupes) and SR characters are rated at V6 (max dupes).
Build and teams
This section is still work in progress, so some synergies might be missing! We will update the information as soon as we can.
Papasha is mainly used in Guild Boss content due to her ability to cheese some of its mechanics. Outside of that, she has one dedicated synergy:
- Qiongjiu - the summon can trigger Qiongjiu Action Support attacks, helping with reaching the 3/4 cap per turn.
