Should you pull?

YES, if you need a damage-buffing Defender. Rapunzel: Pure Grace both tanks and continuously boosts team damage by 10.41% while holding Full Charge, plus an automatic shield on battle start and every Burst — a rare Defender that both blocks hits and steadily buffs DPS. Consider skipping if your team can't sustain Full Charge or you already have another damage buffer.

Review & Analysis

Rapunzel: Pure Grace is an Iron Defender manufactured by Pilgrim, wielding a Sniper Rifle in the Goddess squad. Skill 1 "Sanctuary" grants herself a shield worth 20.59% of final Max HP on entering battle and each time she uses her Burst, and while Full Charge is held for over 1 second with a shield active, the whole team gains 10.41% bonus attack damage continuously. Skill 2 "Pray" heals 2% Max HP on a Full Charge shot, and while holding Full Charge with a shield up, she drains 2% HP per second but regenerates the shield by 3.16% Max HP per second — trading HP for a sustained shield. Her Burst "Garden of Utopia" (20s) raises her own Max HP by 10.13% and the whole team's attack damage by 15.24% for 10 seconds. She excels as a self-sustaining tank that also buffs team damage, ideal for content requiring long survival without dedicating a slot to a healer.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Skill 1 (auto-shield plus continuous team damage buff, the backbone of her kit) → Burst (short HP + damage buff) → Skill 2 (HP-for-shield trade-off, less impactful outside extreme sustain scenarios).

Suggested skill roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst): 4/4/48/4/410/4/810/10/10. Why: Skill 1 is the backbone auto-shield plus continuous team damage buff so it comes first; Burst adds HP/damage next; Skill 2 is a supplementary HP-for-shield trade so it is last.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Self-shields on battle start and every Burst use without complex conditions.
  • Continuous 10.41% team damage buff while holding Full Charge, synergizing well with steady DPS teams.
  • Burst raises both her own HP and the team's damage.

Weaknesses

  • Skill 2 drains 2% HP per second while its effect is active, needing HP monitoring without a healer.
  • The damage buff only works while Full Charge is sustained over 1 second, losing value if constantly interrupted.
