CONSIDER IT — worthwhile if you lack a Water Attacker or need another fast-burst SMG to counter Fire-heavy content; not a priority if you already own a stronger Water SMG Attacker.
Review & Analysis
Quency: Escape Queen is a Water Attacker using an SMG, burst slot III, a ramp-up DPS that stacks buffs before unleashing an AoE nuke.
- Explore Route stacks every 2 normal attacks: Stages 1-2 add Hit Rate/ATK (up to 10 stacks), Stage 3 adds Hit Rate +4.08%/ATK +7.36% (up to 5 stacks); once stages are full, Secure Route grants permanent Distributed Damage +49.58%, Damage to core +25.25%, and Critical Rate +16.73%.
- Her burst "The Great Thief" gives herself Attack Damage +57.08% and Reloading Speed +25.87% for 10s, while hitting all enemies for 1736.31% final ATK as Distributed Damage.
Strong in longer fights where she can build full stacks before her AoE burst; she is weaker early in a fight before stacking up, making her less ideal when you need immediate burst damage.

Skill Investment Priority
Priority: S1 > S2 > Burst. S1 converts each Explore Route stage into a lasting buff (Distributed Damage, core damage, then Crit Rate), so leveling it raises Quency's damage ceiling directly. S2 accelerates stacking toward those stages through normal attacks, making it the second priority. Burst already deals a huge lump-sum hit and gains comparatively less from extra levels.
Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst, per common SMG Attacker priority): 4/4/4 → 7/4/7 → 10/4/10. Why: SMG Attackers typically weigh Skill 1 (damage/self-buff) and Burst equally, with Skill 2 lowest unless it's a team-enabling effect.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
- Water counters Fire, giving her strong performance against Fire-element enemies.
- Fast-firing SMG generates burst quickly, making her flexible across many team setups.
- High base ATK typical of a newer-generation SSR Attacker.
Weaknesses
- Individual SMG bullet damage is low, needing a Critical Damage/ATK buffer to reach full potential.
- Short weapon range, vulnerable to enemy positioning at long distance.
- No publicly confirmed self-buff mechanic, so she relies heavily on supporting units.
