Review & Analysis

Arcana: Fortune Mate is a Fire Attacker using a shotgun, burst slot II, a self-stacking buffer that shares her buffs with other shotgun allies.

  • While in "Making Memories," normal attacks build stacks at thresholds: 4 hits give +1 pellet ("Happy Memories," up to 3 stacks), 6 hits give ATK +2.49% ("Precious Moments," up to 3 stacks); after Full Burst, shotgun allies get ATK +13% times her Precious Moments stacks for 15 seconds.
  • Her burst "Radiant Youth" grants herself Critical Rate +20.09% and Attack Damage +29.99% continuously, plus deals 554.4% of final ATK to all enemies.

Best in shotgun-heavy squads and fights that give her time to stack; weakness is reduced value without other shotgun allies to share buffs with. Currently tier C.

Skills

Keepsake AlbumSkill 1

On Full Burst end: shotgun allies ATK +13% of caster's ATK x Precious Moments stacks for 15s. In Happy Memories (self): Snapshots of Youth - Normal Attack Damage Multiplier +10%, stacks up to 3.

Memories and MomentsSkill 2

Normal attacks while Making Memories (self): 2 hits reload 6 rounds; 4 hits Happy Memories (pellet +1, stacks 3); 6 hits Precious Moments (ATK +2.49%, stacks 3). On Burst use: other shotgun allies Attack Damage +55% for 10s.

Radiant YouthBurst Skill

Self Making Memories: Critical Rate +20.09% continuously, reload 2 rounds, Attack Damage +29.99% continuously. All enemies take 554.4% of final ATK as Burst damage.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize S2 first — it's the core engine: normal attacks build Making Memories stacks for reload, extra pellets and ATK, plus buffs SG allies' Attack Damage on Burst use. Next Burst for Critical Rate, reload, and AoE Burst damage. S1 last since it only buffs ally ATK by Precious Moments stacks.

Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst, per common SG Attacker priority): 4/4/47/4/710/4/10. Why: prioritize Skill 1 (damage) and Burst equally, with Skill 2 lowest if it's a secondary effect.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Fire counters Wind, giving her strong performance against Wind-element enemies.
  • Her Shotgun deals very high close-range damage, clearing nearby enemies efficiently.
  • As a newer-generation SSR Attacker, she has high base ATK.

Weaknesses

  • SG damage requires close range, a disadvantage against long-range enemies/bosses.
  • Doesn't fit the common long-range one-shot PvP playstyle.
  • Short range means positioning in the squad needs careful planning.
