Prune

Anemo Catalyst Tier A Support

Is Prune worth building?

Prune is a highly worthwhile 4-star Anemo support if you don't already have a strong wind unit — she groups enemies, shreds resistance through Swirl, and boosts the whole team's ATK with her Burst. Best part: she doesn't need premium gear, Favonius Codex alone covers both her own and the team's Energy needs. Artifact-wise, run 4pc Viridescent Venerer if she's your only Anemo unit, otherwise switch to Noblesse Oblige. Hit your Energy Recharge requirement before dumping into ATK, and don't bother chasing CRIT since she doesn't need it. A cheap but genuinely strong pick that fits into many different teams.

Prune's talents

Badaboom! Hexbuster Hammer
Normal Attack
Performs up to 3 attacks by swinging the Banehunter Oathhammer, dealing Anemo DMG.

Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina and performs an upward hammer swing, dealing Anemo DMG to opponents in front.

Plunging Attack
Calling upon the power of Anemo, she plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals AoE Anemo DMG upon impact with the ground.
Ring-A-Ding-Ding! Hexhunter Chime
Unleash the wind's might to defeat the evil witch and save Descartes! Prune strikes the Witchlure Bell with her Banehunter Oathhammer, dealing Anemo DMG.
If Prune triggers Swirl on an opponent using this attack, Ring-A-Ding-Ding! Hexhunter Chime will be changed to Clang Clang! Witch-tribution Comes! for the next 6s.

Clang Clang! Witch-tribution Comes!
Prune's hammer is now enshrouded by the element involved in the previous Swirl reaction, causing {LINK#N11320001}Banehunter Oathhammer{/LINK} to undergo Elemental Conversion. When activated with a Press, Prune will leap up and kick the Banehunter Oathhammer forward, dealing Elemental DMG of the corresponding type to opponents in front of her.
The Bell Tolls! The Hunt Is On!
Prune gently swings the Witchlure Bell, dealing Anemo DMG to nearby opponents. After this, the Bell will enter the Hunter-Seeker mode.

Witchlure Bell: Hunter-Seeker
In this mode, the Witchlure Bell will follow the current active character, attacking surrounding opponents at intervals and dealing AoE Anemo DMG. This DMG is considered Elemental Burst DMG.
Verdict and Punishment
During the Elemental Burst {LINK#S11325}The Bell Tolls! The Hunt Is On!{/LINK}, after the Witchlure Bell in Hunter-Seeker mode deals DMG to an opponent, if this DMG triggers Swirl on an opponent, it will also summon a {LINK#N11320001}Banehunter Oathhammer{/LINK} that will deal 150% of Prune's ATK as DMG to them, with the DMG Type matching the Elemental Conversion from the Swirl. This DMG is considered Elemental Burst DMG.
Tolling Synchronicity
After Prune hits an opponent with the {LINK#N11320001}Banehunter Oathhammer{/LINK} that has undergone Elemental Conversion, other nearby party members will gain the Tolling Rally effect for 5s: When Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks, or Elemental Skills and Bursts deal DMG to opponents, that attack's DMG will be increased based on the portion of Prune's ATK in excess of 2,000 when they become affected by the Tolling Rally effect. Every excess ATK point increases that instance of DMG by 0.025%, up to a total of 50% max.
Tinker-Tink, Clank, and Bang!
Has a 10% chance to get 1 regional Character Talent Material (base material excluded) when crafting. The rarity is the same as the resulting material.
Witch's Eve Rite: Witchseeker's Vow
After completing Witch's Homework: Of What Is Contested, Prune becomes a Hexerei character. When the party includes at least 2 Hexerei characters, you gain the Hexerei: Secret Rite effect, which enhances Hexerei characters.

Hexerei: Secret Rite
After a Hexerei character in the party affected by the Tolling Rally effect triggers an Elemental Reaction on an opponent, Prune's ATK is increased by 60% for 5s. If the Elemental Reaction triggered is a Swirl Reaction, the triggering character's ATK will additionally be increased by 30% for 5s.
