Overview

Before being fully uncapped, Tien is a mediocre attacker who is mostly used for guaranteed BountyItem drop rate is boosted
stacks or her passive drop rate boost. However, her lack of additional combat utility and requiring enemies be in Break mode to make use of Salted WoundATK is boosted when foe is in break mode
leave her outperformed by other options.
