Should you pull?
Should you pull?
CONSIDER IT — Sugar is strongest in a Shotgun-heavy team thanks to her wide-area Max Ammo buff, plus a solid self-tempo Burst; without several other SG Attackers her value drops, so you can wait to pull her until you've built a Shotgun lineup.

Skill Investment Priority
Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst): 4/4/4 (functional) → 7/4/7 → 10/4/10 (endgame). Why: Burst (self-tempo buff) is her main damage source so it's top priority; Skill 2 (Max Ammo buff for SG team) ranks nearly as high since it affects the whole squad; Skill 1's 20% passive proc chance means it can wait.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
- Burst self-buffs ATK Speed by 66% and Hit Rate by 33% for 15 seconds — extremely fast tempo without waiting for team buffs.
- Skill 2 buffs Max Ammo by 83.8% for ALL Shotgun allies the instant Full Burst starts, supporting the whole SG squad rather than just herself.
- Pairs with Milk and Frima for the Cafe Sweety squad bonus.
- Shotgun normal attack damage (231.6% ATK) is quite high.
Weaknesses
- Skill 1 only has a 20% chance to trigger when Cover is attacked — unreliable.
- Skill 2's Max Ammo buff is only valuable with multiple other Shotgun Attackers on the team, useless solo.
- As a Shotgun user, range is short and requires closing distance to the target.
