Should you pull?
Should you pull?
CONSIDER IT<\/b> — An international community tier list ranks Tia in the A tier for Story, meaning "best replacement / situational" rather than a mandatory meta core. Worth pulling if you're missing a Burst I Defender who generates her own CDR and squad-wide shields, especially useful for Tribe Tower (a mode-by-mode community tier list ranks her A there). For Solo Raid or Anomaly content (a mode-by-mode community tier list ranks her C and unusable respectively), don't prioritize her — save gems for an S-tier Defender like Anis: Star or Crown if you're missing one.

Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
- Skill 1 cuts Burst cooldown and buffs squad ATK every time she heals Cover HP, turning her tanking into a steady CDR source.
- Chameleon's Invisibility grants a large Cover HP boost plus automatic taunt after 5 normal attacks, keeping the squad safe without complex micro.
- Her Burst shields the whole squad and grants immediate lifesteal on use, great for long raids that need constant damage mitigation.
- As a Burst I Defender she comes online very early, meshing well with other Burst I CDR units.
Weaknesses
- No special synergy with any particular cast — her value is mostly generic tank/CDR utility.
- Community tier lists rank her low for Solo Raid (C) and Anomaly (-), so she's not a top pick for the hardest content.
- She needs Cover HP to actually be healed to trigger Skill 1, and the AI doesn't always time this optimally.
- Personal damage output is nearly negligible — purely a support/tank role.

Campaign
- School Girl Team: Tia · Liter · Scarlet · Naga · 1 flex Attacker. No special synergy — the squad is simply strong on its own merits; manually control Tia to avoid unnecessary taunt aggro. Flex Attacker: Red Hood, Alice, or Modernia.
- General Squad: Tia · Privaty · Naga · 2 Attackers (Guillotine, Ludmilla: Winter Owner). Skill 1 cuts Burst cooldown every time she heals Cover HP, and combined with Privaty this keeps a steady burst rhythm for clearing stages.
