Should you pull?
YES if you need to break armor/shields. Clay is one of the few sources of team-wide True Damage in the game, valuable against heavily armored bosses or shielded enemies. Her Burst boosts team True Damage by 12.56% and converts her own normal attacks into True Damage — especially valuable in harder content. Without armor/shield-heavy enemies, her value drops compared to a standard ATK buffer.

Skill Investment Priority
Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst): 1/1/1 → 7/1/7 → 10/1/7 → 10/7/10. Why: Skill 1 is her main stacking True Damage buff source and should come first; Burst decides team-wide True Damage uptime and follows closely; Skill 2 is only a secondary effect (debuff immunity + conditional ATK), so it can be leveled last.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
- Provides team-wide True Damage through her Burst — a rare buff type that effectively pierces armor and shields.
- Skill 1 stacks its True Damage buff up to 3 times, growing stronger the longer Full Burst continues.
Weaknesses
- Skill 1 needs 60 normal attacks during Full Burst to trigger for the first time, a slow ramp-up.
- Skill 2's extra ATK only applies while Victorious Battle Cry is active, so it isn't fully self-sufficient.
