Charon — Review & Analysis

Charon
Charon is a 6★ Spirit S+ unit who blends AoE Mental damage with heavy team support. Her two incantations both deal up to 500% Mental DMG to all enemies and buff the whole party with Peaceful Soul, while her passive turns her into a Passion battery and a relentless Shock Wave stacker. She rewards patient stack management with escalating, board-wide pressure and control through Fear of Death.
Strengths
  • AoE incantation scaling up to 500% Mental DMG hits the entire enemy board and applies Fear of Death.
  • Hybrid identity: while dealing damage she grants the whole team Peaceful Soul and floods the field with Passion (+2 on entry, +1 per Spirit/Intellect ally).
  • Deep Shock Wave/Dynamo engine keeps compounding through her ultimate's card destruction and the Shadow of the Past consumption reset.
Weaknesses
  • Damage ramps from stacks (Shock Wave, Dynamo, Consternation), so she needs setup turns before peaking.
  • As a Spirit unit she stands outside the Afflatus counter cycle, so no enemy type gives her a matchup edge to lean on.
Build Priority

Prioritize her ultimate and From the Void first — the Shock Wave engine plus her main AoE damage source — then Admonition of the Departed for the team buff. As a Mental DPS, pair her with an ATK/Crit-oriented Psychube to push her damage; her Spirit typing deals +30% against Intellect enemies, so lean into that counter matchup.

Teams with Charon

Dynamo Overdrive · Dynamo

Ulrich and Charon both carry the Dynamo tag and pair it with Ultimate/Moxie respectively — Dynamo resource generated by one feeds the other's payoff. Lucy adds a third Dynamo source at A+-tier damage but needs her Euphoria. Ms. NewBabel survives on the front line with Riposte/Shield/Moxie while the Dynamo cycle spins up.

Teams →
Dynamo Second Wave · Dynamo

Enigma, Corvus and Lucy all tap into Dynamo together with Ultimate — combining it across three kits at once outperforms any single carry doing it alone. Ms. NewBabel keeps the line-up alive with Shield so that payoff has time to land.
