Resonance SolsticeShireBuild and Guide

Shire is an AOE DPS that greatly makes use of multiple Debuffs and [Berserk] to scale her personal damage. Along with her is Jude, her reliable goose partner equipped with a special goose rocket launcher. She’s also one of the few crew members who can apply the [Moemoe] debuff that transforms the target and reduces their ATK and DEF.

Playstyle and Key Mechanics

Shire specializes in disrupting enemy actions through debuff and deals AOE damage to deal with waves of enemies.

Main Cards:

• For her first card, we have [Psychic Disruption Beam]. This is a 3-cost Purple card that launches an energy ball in the targeted area and inflicts [Moemoe] and [Sleep].

• Next is [Disturbance Bomb], a 1-cost Red card that has two different effects depending on the target. When used on enemies, this deals damage and inflicts [Confuse] and when used on allies, it grants them [Berserk].

• Then her Ultimate card [Chaotic Cannon MEGA] is an AOE skill that shoots a beam that [Penetrates] the targets in the direction and will deal damage over 10 hits. Additionally, it increases its damage by 20% for each specific status effect existing when the skill is used.

Derivative:

• Barge - Grant [Berserk] to all allies. Inflict [Confuse] on all enemies and deal DMG for hits.

Investment

Shire’s Awakening mostly involves team-wide buffing, except for her Awakening 5, which greatly enhances her personal damage. Let’s take a look at each one:

• Awakening 1 - Bolsters allies' ATK when under [Berserk] and reduces DEF of enemies when under [Confuse].

• Awakening 2 - Whenever any of Shire’s Red cards is obtained, Jude fires a [Disturbance Bomb] on either Ally or Enemy.

• Awakening 4 - Increased cost generation per second for each ally buffed with [Berserk].

• Awakening 5 - Increases her Final DMG up to 60% maximum when allies inflict certain status effects.

Resonance

• Resonance 1 — Jude.

• Resonance 2 — Whenever using [Chaotic Cannon MEGA], Jude launches a Healing Bomb that heals the ally with the lowest HP and adds one of Shire's skill cards from the deck or discard pile to your hand.

• Resonance 4 — Whenever obtaining Shire's Purple card or using [Chaotic Cannon MEGA], Jude launches 2 Corn Bombs, each dealing DMG to a random enemy once and inflicting [Corrupt].

• Resonance 5 — Enables the acquisition of the derivative [Barge] at the start of the battle and whenever the deck is reshuffled. [Barge] also increases the DMG of the next [Chaotic Cannon MEGA] by 50%
