A2 — Stats, Skills, Best Teams

Q: Should you pull?

YES if you need a self-sufficient Charge Attacker independent of outside buffs. Burst Mode B grants continuous ATK+15.19% and Charge Speed+35.88% (at the cost of HP drain), while unlocking Skill 1's +110.44% Charge Damage and +100.74% Explosion Radius for 15s — a powerful self-buff combo for a charge playstyle. Her 25554 ATK is top-tier in the data. Worth pulling if you need an independent Charge carry; consider skipping if you already have enough Charge Attackers.

Q: Skill Investment Priority

Skill investment roadmap: 1/1/4 → 4/7/7 → 7/10/10 → 10/10/10. Why: Skill 1 Output Increased grants a huge Charge Damage/Explosion Radius buff (110%/100%), so it's a high priority; Burst Mode B is the trigger condition for Skill 1, so it needs early investment too; Skill 2 only adds modest bonus damage on Full Charge, so it comes last.

Review & Analysis

A2 (Squad YoRHa) is a Charge-based Attacker with high ATK (HP 583734 · ATK 25554 · DEF 4071), built around chained Full Charge shots. Her Burst, Mode B, trades HP each second for ATK+15.19% and Charge Speed+35.88%, auto-deactivating below 40% HP to avoid self-destruction. Skill 1, Output Increased, triggers right when Burst is used, boosting Charge Damage+110.44% and Explosion Radius+100.74% for 15 seconds — directly synergizing with Mode B. Skill 2, Slow Charge Attack, adds 30.1% ATK bonus damage on a landed Full Charge hit plus extra damage to parts. Worth using on stages that need a self-sufficient AoE-charge Attacker without much external support.
