Should you pull?

YES. Her extremely strong tank-piercing burst (up to ~2475% ATK when the Max HP condition is met) makes Brid well worth investing in for squads that need to break high-DEF bosses/tanks, especially for players who already have a healer to keep her at Max HP.

Review & Analysis

Brid is a Water Attacker manufactured by Elysion, wielding an Assault Rifle. She's built for tanky bosses: her Burst, AZX, targets the enemy with the highest DEF, dealing 1237.5% ATK damage, and if that target is still at max HP, it deals an additional 1237.5% ATK hit — massive single-target damage when used early before the boss loses HP. Skill 2 targets the enemy with the highest ATK for 200% ATK bonus damage. Skill 1 self-buffs ATK after 30 normal attacks, a slow but reliable stacking mechanic.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Burst (AZX, massive single-target damage, especially against a full-HP boss) → Skill 2 (bonus damage against the highest-ATK target) → Skill 1 (self ATK buff, requires 30 attacks to build).

4/4/4 (playable) → 7/4/7 → 10/4/10 (final). Max the burst first since it's her main damage source; raise Skill 1 next to stack ATK; Skill 2 is secondary value, so leave it last.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Her burst deals a massive 1237.5% ATK hit on the highest-DEF enemy, doubling with another 1237.5% if she's at Max HP — up to roughly 2475% ATK total.
  • Skill 1 self-buffs ATK by 15.18% after 30 normal attacks, good for building up base damage in long fights.
  • Skill 2 targets the highest-ATK enemy for 200% ATK damage, helping clear secondary threats outside the burst's main target.

Weaknesses

  • The burst's doubled damage only triggers at exactly Max HP — even minor chip damage cuts her burst damage roughly in half.
  • AR normal attack deals only 14.29% ATK and is low DPS, hard to land on cores, so her out-of-burst performance is weak.
  • Both her burst and Skill 2 target by highest DEF/ATK, which can't be manually chosen and may waste damage on the wrong target.
