Manekin

Sword Tier B DPS
Reflects patch 6.7 (2026-07-06) — the meta store re-ranks every patch, never edited by hand.
Is Manekin worth building?

Manekin is a gimmick character exclusive to Miliastra Wonderland — it can't be used in Spiral Abyss or Imaginarium Theater, so keep expectations modest. Base damage is genuinely low, but going Pyro turns it into the best DPS option among the elements thanks to Pyro Resonance self-buffing ATK. No signature weapon needed — a cheap Favonius Sword already keeps Bursts rolling. Farm a clean 4pc Emblem of Severed Fate first to avoid Energy droughts, then switch to Crimson Witch of Flames if you want pure Pyro damage.

Newly released — meta not settled yet; recommendations may shift once the community locks the build.

Manekin's talents

Outlander Arts: Vigilant Watch
Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 rapid strikes.

Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Punishing Barrage
The Manekin attacks nearby opponents once, dealing AoE DMG corresponding to their own Elemental Type before pulling back rapidly. After unleashing an Elemental Skill, the Manekin's Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, and Plunging Attacks are converted to deal the corresponding elemental DMG, which cannot be overridden by other Elemental infusions, for a period of time. This effect will disappear when the Manekin leaves the field.

Has 2 charges.

"A well-measured blow is a necessary warning."
No Entry
The Manekin summons a "Restricted Area" that follows them around, dealing 1 instance of DMG corresponding to the Manekin's Elemental Type to nearby opponents.
Additionally, when opponents enter the Restricted Area, they will receive 1 instance of DMG corresponding to the Manekin's Elemental Type. This effect can trigger once every 0.5s.
The Restricted Area will disappear when the Manekin leaves the field.

"Those who insist on trespassing within the restricted area will be regarded as hostile and expelled with maximum force."
Battlelines Redrawn
When the Manekin leaves the field, if a Restricted Area that they summoned is still active, it will explode, dealing AoE DMG of the Manekin's Elemental Type equal to 200% of the Manekin's ATK.
Combat Readiness
When the Manekin is not on the field and their Elemental Energy is below 30%, they will recover 2 Elemental Energy per second.
Agile Stance
When the Manekin unleashes an Elemental Skill or Burst, it will change to one of its existing Cosmetic Plans at random.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths
  • Regenerates Energy even while benched (off-field) via Combat Readiness — no need to stay on-field to charge the burst.
  • The elemental infusion from Punishing Barrage cannot be overridden by another element mid-fight.
Weaknesses
  • The ascension stat is just plain ATK% — no built-in CRIT/EM/DMG Bonus advantage like many other characters, everything has to be rolled from scratch on artifacts.
  • 5★ (Sword) — only available on limited/character-specific banners, not on the standard wish.

Machine-classified by scanning mechanic keywords in the OFFICIAL skill text (not another site's opinion ranking). Characters whose weapon type is inherently elemental (e.g. catalysts, bows) may not show "Does this well" for On-Field even if they can still be played on-field — this is a limit of text-based detection.
