Should you pull?

CONSIDER. Her Burst healing 44.68% team Max HP plus Skill 2's 9.5% Max HP shield every Full Burst is a notable survivability toolkit, especially for teams needing to sustain long raids. However ATK is low (17,059), so don't expect meaningful damage from her — pull mainly if your roster lacks a reliable AoE healer; skip if you already have a strong healer.

Review & Analysis

Snow Crane belongs to the Veiled Order squad, built as a defensive/self-sustain unit with HP 711,171 and DEF 4,265 (per publisher data) rather than a pure damage dealer. Skill 1 maintains a team-wide Max HP +10% buff while not in 'Terminated Contract' status, but being healed by someone else reduces her own healing potency by 10% (up to 3 stacks) — punishing over-reliance on allies. Skill 2 heals the team lightly after 3 Full Charge hits and grants a shield worth 9.5% Max HP for 10s on entering Full Burst. Her Burst heals the team for 44.68% Max HP and grants herself Pierce for 10s — well suited to stages that require sustained survivability and self-healing.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Burst first since it's the main team-wide healing source (44.68% team Max HP), then Skill 2 for the Full Burst shield and secondary healing, and Skill 1 last since the Max HP buff is useful but less immediately survival-critical.

Suggested roadmap: 1/4/41/7/71/10/104/10/10 or max if resources allow. Why: Burst and Skill 2 determine the actual team-wide healing/shield amount, while Skill 1 is just a passive Max HP buff that can stay low for a long time.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Burst heals 44.68% team Max HP, one of the stronger AoE healing sources in current data.
  • Skill 2 grants a 9.5% Max HP shield every Full Burst, cutting incoming damage during bursts.
  • DEF 4,265 is fairly solid in the dataset, aiding self-sustain.

Weaknesses

  • Skill 1's mechanic penalizes 10% healing potency when healed by someone else — can conflict when paired with multiple healers.
  • ATK is only 17,059, low in the data, so she doesn't contribute much main damage.
