Should you pull?

CONSIDER IT — Laplace is a strong Pierce RL Attacker against multi-part bosses and for Matis squad teams (with Drake, Maxwell for squad bonuses), but needs time to build Hero Vision before hitting peak damage, so she isn't suited to instant one-shot playstyles. Pull if: you're building a Matis team, lack a Pierce RL Attacker for part-break raids, or need Iron-element coverage.

Review & Analysis

Laplace is an SSR Iron Attacker wielding a Rocket Launcher (RL), focused on wide-area explosive damage. Skill 1, Hero Vision, stacks up Explosion Range every time she lands a full-charge attack, up to 5 stacks, widening her blast area. Burst skill Laplace Buster swaps her weapon into a heavy-damage mode with damage over time and Pierce, and deals bonus true damage if Hero Vision is fully stacked. Skill 2, Hero Bomber, adds extra damage on the last bullet hit or when striking boss parts. Laplace performs best when charge attacks are sustained to build Hero Vision stacks before unleashing her Burst.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Burst Laplace Buster (main damage with Pierce, bonus if Hero Vision is fully stacked) → Skill 1 Hero Vision (stacks explosion range that feeds Burst's true damage) → Skill 2 Hero Bomber (bonus damage).

Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst): 4/4/4 (functional) → 7/4/710/4/10 (endgame). Why: Burst carries the max-damage mode and bonus true damage so it's top priority alongside Skill 1 (expands Hero Vision range); Skill 2 only adds bonus damage on part hits so it can wait.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Burst switches her weapon into a max-damage mode dealing 897.6% ATK plus damage over time and a Pierce effect — devastating against multi-armored bosses.
  • Skill 1 builds Hero Vision stacks off fully-charged shots, expanding explosion range up to 5 stacks — the longer the fight, the wider her hits.
  • Skill 2 adds bonus damage on hitting boss parts, great for part-break raids.
  • Normal attacks can be fully charged for a 250% damage multiplier, so she isn't entirely burst-dependent for DPS.

Weaknesses

  • As an RL Attacker her fire rate is slow and needs full charge to hit max damage — easy to fall behind in short burst windows.
  • Burst's true-damage bonus only fires once Hero Vision reaches 5 stacks, needing setup time before peak performance.
  • Carries no team-support buffs — a pure damage dealer, so the squad needs its own buffers/CDR.
