Overview

Monika (Valentine) shares the mechanic of linked skills and jack-of-all-trades approach with her Grand version, but rather than sharing a cooldown of 3 turns, her skills' cooldown resets after using her charge attack. This makes her a staple for charge attack focused teams due to  Wind of Love's SparkAll allies gain Charge Bar +30%Instantly boosts Charge Bar by 30%

    Violetshock Flicker activates upon dodging.     is massive, topping off at a ~70% chance to be targeted at 15+ buffs (assuming default hostility for other allies). Her boost to dodge rate, on the other hand, maxes out at a mere 45%, and she lacks anything like Dodge All (1 time)Takes no DMG or debuffs while in effect for a set period

  • Mahira is almost mandatory to consistently meet her buff requirements.

How to Play

Prioritize getting her to 12 buffs before using her skills at the start of fights, if possible.

Characters

  • Mahira is the premier support character in Earth and is a mandatory slot (and a mandatory spark for anyone interested in playing Earth) in all but the most niche teams. Her ability to provide 8 buffs, 6 of which (the 5 buffs from Zeal of the FeatherATK is boosted / DEF is boosted /

Gamewith's recommended EMP build for Monika (Valentine).

Priorities

Prioritize 3★ Earth ATK, 3★ Skill DMG Cap, 3★ C.A. DMG Cap and 3★ Critical to maximise her damage potential. Afterwards, it is recommended to take 3★ Dodge as it has synergy with her skills.
