Poli — Stats, Skills, Best Teams

Q: Should you pull?

YES. A very efficient two-in-one support skill (shield + team ATK buff) for a Defender; worth pulling if you lack a strong support tank, especially for new players wanting an early stable squad.

Q: Skill Investment Priority

1/1/1 (playable) → 4/4/4 → 4/4/10 (final). Max the burst first since both the shield and team ATK buff come from it; Skill 1/2 are minor support, so keep them low-to-moderate.

Review & Analysis

Poli is a Water Defender wielding an SG with Burst II, built to shield the team rather than deal damage herself. Skill 1 Brave Call triggers after 5 normal attacks, granting a squad-wide ATK buff for 10 seconds — an easy passive to keep active. Skill 2 That's a Good Boy boosts DEF for herself and the 2 lowest-HP allies while sharing incoming damage, the true mark of a damage-soaking tank. Her Burst Polly's Defense Line grants a shield to all allies scaled off her Max HP plus a team ATK buff, covering both defense and offense. Poli suits teams that need a Defender who protects while also pushing squad damage.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Burst Polly's Defense Line (shield + squad ATK buff, the biggest team impact) → Skill 2 (damage sharing, her core tanking function) → Skill 1 (small ATK buff, easy to trigger).

1/1/1 (playable) → 4/4/4 → 4/4/10 (final). Max the burst first since both the shield and team ATK buff come from it; Skill 1/2 are minor support, so keep them low-to-moderate.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

Her burst grants a 22.27% Max HP shield and a 44.55% ATK buff to the whole team at once — a very efficient dual-purpose skill.
Skill 2 shares damage with the two lowest-HP allies, directly protecting the squishiest spots on the team.
High base HP (711171) fits her Defender role, letting her keep sharing damage over a long fight.

Weaknesses

Skill 1 needs 5 normal attacks to trigger and only grants a small 5.46% ATK buff, poor value for the setup required.
SG normal attack deals only 201.5% ATK, notably lower than Neon's 224.5% despite the same weapon type.
The burst's shield and ATK buff only last 10 seconds, so timing it against the enemy's damage spike is essential.
