Should you pull?

Should you pull?

YES — Milk deals wide-area damage, heals, and grants a permanent Crit Dmg buff to the whole squad, extremely versatile for both Campaign and Raid. Worth pulling if you lack a Water Attacker or want a dealer-support hybrid in the Cafe Sweety team.

Review & Analysis

Milk is a Water Sniper Rifle (SR) Attacker from Tetra who blends personal damage with team-wide support. Sugar Rush is her standout trait: as long as she stays above 80% HP, she grants a permanent Critical Damage buff to the whole squad, a very durable baseline boost. In It to Win It adds a temporary ATK buff to the two highest-ATK allies, amplifying damage right before Full Burst. Her Burst, Victory is Mine, deals AoE damage to enemies within range while healing the whole team based on damage dealt, helping the squad hold up through longer fights.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Sugar Rush (permanent team-wide Critical Damage buff, highest baseline value) → Burst Victory is Mine (AoE damage plus team healing) → In It to Win It (temporary ATK buff for two allies).

Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst): 4/4/4 (functional) → 7/4/710/4/10 (endgame). Why: Burst (wide-area damage + squad-wide heal) is her core value so it's top priority; Skill 2 (permanent squad-wide Crit Dmg) ranks nearly as high given its lasting effect all fight; Skill 1 only buffs two people so it can wait.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Burst deals 367.34% ATK wide-area damage while healing the squad based on % of damage dealt over 10 seconds — damage and survival at once.
  • Skill 1 buffs ATK by 31.83% for the top-2 ATK allies, amplifying the main dealer.
  • Skill 2 grants the whole squad a PERMANENT 11.13% Crit Dmg buff once triggered (as long as above 80% HP at trigger time) — a lasting buff that never expires.
  • As an SR, normal attacks stay consistent.

Weaknesses

  • Skill 2's permanent Crit Dmg buff requires being above 80% HP to trigger — risky if the team enters the fight already low on HP.
  • Skill 1's ATK buff only goes to the top-2 ATK allies — Milk herself isn't guaranteed to benefit.
  • As an SR, fire rate is slower than SG/MG.

Recommended Teams

Campaign

  • Core squad: Liter · Blanc · Milk · Privaty · Neve. Milk spearheads via ATK buff for top-2 ATK allies, permanent crit dmg above 80% HP, AoE ulti + team heal; Liter fuels Burst uptime, Blanc opens with AoE to clear deficit, Privaty buffs ATK at Full Burst, Neve finishes the wave.
  • General frame: Milk as main DPS + 1 CDR (Liter, Volume) + 1 buffer (Privaty, Admi) + 2 flex DPS (Viper, Brid). Swap Milk for Modernia against a different element.

Arena (PvP)

  • Jackal-style one-shot: Centi · Blanc · Liter · Guillotine · Milk. Milk leans on ATK buff for top-2 ATK allies, permanent crit dmg above 80% HP, AoE ulti + team heal to burst first, while Centi/Blanc push max Burst for Guillotine's finisher.
  • Defensive variant: Noah · Milk · Centi · Liter · Guillotine. Noah tanks the opening rush so Milk can strike after the enemy's combo runs dry.

Raid/Interception

  • Main taunt team: Noise · Liter · Mast · Milk · Guillotine. Noise pulls hate, Mast pumps crit dmg, Milk unloads damage via ATK buff for top-2 ATK allies, permanent crit dmg above 80% HP, AoE ulti + team heal.
  • Sustain backup: Novel · Liter · Helm · Milk · Modernia. Novel/Helm keep HP stable so Milk can perform at full output.
