Neon: Blue Ocean — Stats, Skills, Best Teams

Q: Should you pull?

YES. A Water main-damage SSR with burst-stacking mechanics that suit long fights; worth pulling if you lack a Water Attacker or want a team that counters Fire Code targets, especially for players getting their first SSR for the Counters squad.

Q: Skill Investment Priority

4/4/4 (playable) → 7/4/7 → 10/4/10 (final). Prioritize the burst and Skill 1 since both directly raise base damage and stacking Parts Damage; Skill 2 depends on repeated Burst stage-3 entries, so level it slower.

Review & Analysis

Neon: Blue Ocean is a Water Machine Gun (MG) Attacker from Elysion who specializes in countering Fire-element enemies. Her Burst, Full Hydro Shot, switches to a special weapon for 7 seconds, dealing continuous damage and extra bonus damage when the target belongs to the Fire Code — extremely strong against Fire bosses and mobs. Upper Wave stacks Parts Damage for herself each time she uses Burst, up to 3 stacks, making her increasingly effective at breaking destructible boss parts. Water Jet grants bonus elemental damage against her strong-element target whenever she enters Burst stage 3, also stacking up to 3 times over longer fights.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Burst Full Hydro Shot (weapon switch, sustained damage plus Fire-Code bonus) → Upper Wave (Parts Damage stacking on each Burst) → Water Jet (elemental damage stacking, requires reaching Burst stage 3).

4/4/4 (playable) → 7/4/7 → 10/4/10 (final). Prioritize the burst and Skill 1 since both directly raise base damage and stacking Parts Damage; Skill 2 depends on repeated Burst stage-3 entries, so level it slower.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

Her burst weapon-switch deals 11% final ATK, plus another 11% if the target is Fire Code — big total damage against the right element.
Skill 1 stacks Parts Damage by 12.4% each burst use, up to 3 stacks within 20 seconds.
Skill 2 raises strong-element damage by 20.56%~20.2% on entering Burst stage 3, stacking across multiple rotations.

Weaknesses

MG normal attack deals only 5.57% ATK — extremely low, contributing almost nothing outside burst.
Both sub-skills need repeated triggers (multiple burst uses, multiple stage-3 entries), so she needs a long fight to reach full stacks.
The Fire Code bonus damage only matters against that specific element and is dead weight versus other-element enemies.
