Intro
Character Summary

Suomi is one of the strongest sustain-support characters in the game. She is most notable for her high-impact Ultimate skill that does just about everything expected of a supporter in one action. Importantly, this includes:

  • Shielding: Suomi’s Ultimate skill applies a massive shield to all on-field allies (no range restrictions!) more than capable of tanking all incoming damage they may receive between (frequent) reapplications. 

  • Other defensive utility: On top of shields, Suomi recovers stability, cleanses debuffs, cleanses taunt, and (with her V1) applies a whole slew of additional effects that all aid in survivability.

  • Phase debuff: Suomi’s Ultimate skill deals damage and applies Avalanche, a phase debuff that can be used to trigger the Phase Strike attachment set bonus. Because Suomi’s skill isn’t a conventional AOE attack, it ignores elevation and allows her to easily tag multiple enemies to enable the set condition for the team’s damage dealers.

Beyond Suomi’s defensive utility, she also comes with significant stability shred through her S1 and Action Support passive, which can greatly aid in the process of grinding through enemy stability.

Fixed Keys

Fixed Keys core to Suomi’s function are:

  • 02-03 - Little Guardian: Suomi’s base kit has little to no healing in it, as she sustains the team through her shields. The additional 3 starting Confectance Index greatly improves her performance by allowing her to get her shield out turn 1 (and to have it ready for recast by turn 3).

Mod Key

N/A

Character Function

At her core, Suomi functions as the sustain-support character on the team, outcompeting other healers with the sheer level of survivability she provides to the team. Shields are notable for temporarily increasing characters’ total HP, helping them survive bursts better than heals, which only replenish missing HP.

Suomi consolidates so many roles and contributes (so effortlessly) so much utility to the team that her impact is hard to overstate - she is one of the strongest supports in the game.

Character Synergies

To deal damage, characters need to be alive. Suomi has defensive utility in spades. She so thoroughly outclasses the alternatives that, where applicable, team-building discussions often focus on finding the next-best supporter for the other team(s) that then can’t also include Suomi.

Vertebrae Breakpoints

SSR characters are reviewed at V0/ V1 strength. However, for those especially dedicated players, it is worth noting Suomi’s significant dupe powerspikes at:

  • V1: Suomi’s V1 significantly increases her defensive utility by adding a ton of additional effects to her Ultimate skill -the most noticeable being a chunky map-wide heal. Suomi V0 is already broken and Suomi’s V1 is so potent that it effectively makes her team unkillable.

Important! GFL2’s endgame environment greatly emphasizes clear speed. As such, character value is heavily weighted towards damage output. Suomi’s shield at V0 is more than enough to tank incoming damage for at-level content. As is the case with all dupes, pulling Suomi’s V1 incurs an opportunity cost for what would have been some other SSR. As of writing, there is no content for which Suomi’s V1 confers a clear competitive advantage over her V0.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Insane level of defensive utility and role consolidation that rounds out any team’s rough edges,

  • Incredibly simple to use - no enablers needed to function, not even a proximity check on her Ultimate skill buffs,

  • Readily takes Papasha’s welfare SMG, Svarog, as a perfectly functional stat stick weapon (somewhere in here is a niche gun joke for the more invested fans).

Cons

  • Overwhelming survivability buffs may be excessive for when teams would prefer offensive utility instead (Suomi does actually provide limited offensive utility with V2 + Unspoken Calling R1 Freeze damage buffs)

Ratings

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).
