Should you pull?

CONSIDER. Neon is a permanent SR, no need to save pulls or chase copies. New players should pick her up to fill the Counters squad and use her early Full Burst crit buff; skip her if you already have a strong Supporter SSR.

Review & Analysis

Neon is a Fire Shotgun (SG) Supporter from Elysion suited to the Beginner Team for early story and campaign content. Her Burst, Fire!, targets the enemy with the highest DEF for big single-target damage and also grants extra ammo to any Shotgun-wielding allies, useful in Shotgun-heavy lineups. Viva Firepower! gives the whole team a large Critical Rate boost right at the start of Full Burst, though it only applies for their first two shots. Neon's Special Bullet is a minor secondary buff, giving a small Critical Rate boost to the two highest-ATK allies whenever an enemy is defeated.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Burst Fire! (large single-target damage plus ammo for Shotgun allies) → Viva Firepower! (team-wide Critical Rate at Full Burst start) → Neon's Special Bullet (small Critical Rate on enemy kill).

1/1/1 (playable) → 4/4/4 → 4/7/10 (final). Prioritize Skill 2 since the team-wide crit buff at Full Burst start has the biggest impact on total damage; save the burst for last since its ammo buff is more of a bonus.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Shotgun normal attack deals a huge 224.5% ATK thanks to multiple pellets landing at once.
  • Skill 2 buffs the whole team's crit rate by 45.93% right as Full Burst starts, instantly boosting the other four allies.
  • Her burst damages the highest-DEF enemy while also raising max ammo for all SG allies.

Weaknesses

  • SR base stats (HP 280314 · ATK 10824) trail well behind Supporter SSRs in the same squad.
  • Skill 1 only triggers on a kill, so it's dead weight against a solo boss with no secondary targets.
  • Skill 2's buff only lasts 2 shots, so it needs a fast-firing team to be fully used.
