Q: Should you pull?

Should you pull?YES — An international community tier list ranks D: Killer Wife at the S / meta-line tier in Story, one of the strongest current Burst I Supporters with an SR-specific pierce buff and a flexible Wipe Out debuff. Very much worth pulling if you own several Sniper Rifles (Mari Makinami Illustrious, Takina Inoue) or need a versatile Burst I buffer. Even without many SR units yet and with tight gems, she's still pullable since Skill 2 and her Burst remain useful regardless of teammate weapons.

Review & Analysis

D: Killer Wife is a Fire Supporter manufactured by Elysion, part of Squad Perilous Siege. She specializes in exploiting enemy weak points: her Burst, Kill the Target, deals 269.28% of final ATK to the enemy nearest the crosshair and applies Wipe Out for 10 seconds, after which allied normal attacks hitting weak points add +16.26% core damage or +12.19% ATK for body hits — encouraging part-targeting play. Skill 2 cuts team Burst cooldown by 7 seconds after 8 Full Charge attacks, and boosts attack damage by 5.06% after 5 Full Charge attacks. Skill 1 self-grants a single Pierce shot after 3 Full Charge attacks, and boosts Pierce Damage by 13.55% for allied Sniper Rifle users on entering Full Burst.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Burst (Wipe Out marking + big damage, unlocks the weak-point mechanic) → Skill 2 (team Burst cooldown reduction) → Skill 1 (Pierce buff, only valuable with other Sniper Rifle allies).

Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1 / Skill 2 / Burst, per community consensus): minimum 4/7/4 (functional) → recommended 7/7+/4 → Alice-team setup 10/7+/7 → hardcore raid 10/10/7(10). Why: Skill 2 (hidden CDR) is prioritized early since it affects the whole squad's burst rhythm; Skill 1 (SR pierce buff) and Burst get pushed higher when paired with core Attackers like Alice or for high-intensity raid content.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

Grants a pierce-damage buff specifically for Sniper Rifle allies, extremely strong in a dedicated all-SR comp.
Skill 2 quietly reduces squad-wide Burst cooldown, giving her real CDR value despite being a Burst I Supporter.
Her Burst applies the Wipe Out debuff plus location-based buffs, letting the whole squad optimize aim on multi-part bosses.
An international community tier list ranks her at the S / meta-line tier in Story — one of the strongest current Burst I Supporters.

Weaknesses

Skill 1's pierce buff is exclusive to SR allies, losing value if the squad doesn't have many Sniper Rifles.
The Wipe Out mechanic requires understanding which hit is a "body" vs. a "part" hit on each enemy type to optimize the buff.
No healing or survivability tools of her own — a pure offensive buffer.
Skill 2's trigger condition (8 full-charge attacks) needs a compatible weapon/playstyle to hit its optimal rhythm.
