Character Function and Summary

Matoi is the first character that can grant Technical Precision.

Even on CN, only Firecracker Rin can fully utilize Matoi's Technical Precision, as she is the only DPS that uses that stat.

Besides that, Matoi also brings the most AoE Defense Down out of all the characters. She also has easy access to Icebound, which makes foes unable to act, but most end-game fights have immunity for that. Besides that, she can also provide some sustain in the form of Freeze and Shield.

Matoi's biggest weakness is her reliance on foes having Burn; right now, very few teams actually have room for her or even want to run her. To use her outside of Firecracker Rin, you will have to run Throne on Wonder and make sure foes are inflicted with Burn before she acts. Sometimes, the juice is not worth the squeeze.

Character Synergies
  • Firecracker Rin: Matoi can grant Firecracker Rin more Technical Precision, increasing her Fireburn independent multiplier.

Important Awareness / Weapon Value
  • Awareness 1: This allows each Skill 3 to be evolved when playing Skill 1 Skill 3 rotation, and gives Matoi some form of Critical Damage support to widen her support capability.

  • Awareness 6: This soft removes Matoi’s need for constant Burn as she will automatically use Skill 1 if there is a foe with Burn.

  • Weapon: This weapon is very powerful as it gives Matoi more Ailment Accuracy to cap her Skills, and some of her Defense Down is also on the weapon.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Inflicts the highest AoE Defense Down debuff and has powerful Damage Taken debuffs.

  • Very few characters can grant Technical Precision.

  • Has access to control tools and can provide sustain.

Cons

  • Extremely restrictive as she demands a constant Burn source.

  • Only 1 DPS can utilize her Technical Precision.
