Q: Should you pull?

Should you pull?CONSIDER IT — only worth it if you're building or plan to build a Charge-weapon team (SR/RL) like Dolla, Rapunzel, or Harran; if your roster leans toward rapid-fire weapons, there's no rush.

Q: Skill Investment Priority

Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst): 1/1/1 → 4/4/4 → 7/1/7 → 10/1/10. Why: Skill 1 (Charge Damage buff) and Burst are her core value; Skill 2 only grants a small short buff, so it's lowest priority.

Review & Analysis

Yan is a Fire Supporter with an RL, serving Fire teams by boosting charge damage. Skill 1 "Struck Dumb" triggers right at the start of Full Burst, raising Charge Damage for the whole team — a great fit for charge-based weapons like RL and SR. Skill 2 "The More, the Merrier" triggers on a Full Charge attack, granting the whole team a small ATK and Critical Rate boost. Her Burst "Fat Cat" deals AoE damage to enemies in range and forcibly pulls targets toward the center of the attack area, offering useful crowd control. A solid support pick for Fire teams built around charge weapons.

Skill Investment Priority

Prioritize Skill 1 (team-wide Charge Damage buff at Full Burst start, her core support value) → Burst (AoE damage plus enemy grouping) → Skill 2 (minor ATK/Crit buff, least important).

Skill investment roadmap (Skill 1/Skill 2/Burst): 1/1/1 → 4/4/4 → 7/1/7 → 10/1/10. Why: Skill 1 (Charge Damage buff) and Burst are her core value; Skill 2 only grants a small short buff, so it's lowest priority.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

Skill 1 buffs the whole squad's Charge Damage right at the start of Full Burst, huge for charge weapons (SR/RL).
Her burst both deals AoE damage and clumps enemies together, great synergy with other AoE units.

Weaknesses

Her value depends entirely on the squad running charge weapons — useless with an all-rapid-fire team.
Skill 2 only triggers on full-charge shots, so its secondary ATK/Crit buff is small and short-lived.
