Frostgale Mont is the first character to get 2 attributes.
This will focus on her Wind mode, as that's the one that sees play; her Ice mode is just not very good and has little use.
Frostgale Mont has a unique mechanic of Domain, unlike debuffs that need to be reapplied to new foes, the Domain is active once you use her Skill 3, keeping her skill cycle fixed and making her great against multiple foes or fights with new waves. When her Domain is active, when any ally deals Wind damage with Skills/HIGHLIGHT/Resonance, she will gain 1 Vestige stack (up to 5 stacks), and when her Domain ends, she will deal Resonance damage based on her Vestige stacks.
Frostgale Mont can multi-hit many times, meaning she works great with an upcoming strong support like Wind.V, it also keeps her random damage range more consistent as there are many small numbers instead of 1 big number.
Frostgale Mont teams can be restrictive, as she wants allies that can deal Wind damage to maximize her Vestige stack. This limits her team's options and what Skills Wonder can use. She also plays a 2-turn cycle until A6, meaning she doesn't work well with Oracle.
She also suffers from having very low impact Awareness and their buffs having poor coverage; her A1 will now grant her 1 bonus Vestige stack after using her Skill 3 and only increases her Resonance damage, but since it is not giving any overcap Vestige (unlike her HIGHLIGHT), you can easily just overcap on Vestige gain and waste this effect.
In a team of 0 Wind ally and just Wonder using Vishnu, her Vestige stacks amount would be: 1 (Skill 3) + 1 (A1) + 2 (Skill 1) + 1 (Wonder Vishnu) = 5. This is already at the 5 cap and if you have any other Wind ally or use her HIGHLIGHT, she will just waste the Vestige stack gain.
Her damage profile is also not just her Resonance so the damage buff coverage is bad. Her A2 decreases all foes’ Defense, but her optimal team already has access to Defense Down, so this ends up doing very little, as you can hit Defense Down cap. Her A6 will reopen her Domain once after it closes, meaning she now plays a 3-turn cycle and she will work with Oracle, it also gives her Resonance increased Pierce Rate but as stated earlier, she just doesn’t really need this much help with decreasing foes’ Defense so this effect is also mostly a waste, it also only increases Resonance not all her Skills.
Overall, Frostgale Mont is a DPS that looks complex but is actually very basic. Her mechanics of having 2 attributes just doesn’t matter and her poor Awareness growth limits her future growth and viability.
Character Synergies
Wind.V (CN only): Wind.V can grant more buffs if allies can deal enough hits of damage. Wind.V can also deal Wind damage to gain Vestige stacks for Frostgale Mont.
Important Awareness / Weapon Value
Awareness 6: All of Frostgale Mont’s Awarenesses are not the best, but this Awareness at least can change her rotation to fit with the best Elucidator (Oracle) right now.
Weapon: This weapon gives her Critical Rate, which is very good as she attacks many times.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Having 2 attributes means you can run her in more fights.
Cons
Half of the character kit is not used.
Wants allies to deal Wind damage.
Terrible Awareness value and growth, even at Awareness 6.
