Lorelei — Review & Analysis

Lorelei

Lorelei is a 5-star Star Afflatus unit who plays as a team buffer and AoE sub-DPS. Her signature skill is a group buff, raising the whole team's Crit DMG and damage reduction for 2 rounds — feeding damage to your carry while shoring up survivability. Her attacks deal AoE Mental DMG and apply Weaken, and her Ultimate shifts its bonus based on the Incantation card types sitting in your zone, giving her real flexibility.

Strengths
  • Team-wide Crit DMG buff (up to 45%) is hugely valuable for crit-scaling carry comps.
  • Also raises the whole team's damage reduction, covering survivability at the same time.
  • Ultimate hits all enemies and gains bonuses based on your Incantation lineup, adapting to many playstyles.
  • Basic attacks apply Weaken, softening targets on top of the Mental DMG.
Weaknesses
  • Star Afflatus is countered by Plant, putting her at a disadvantage against Plant enemies.
  • The Ultimate's power depends on your team's Incantation card composition, requiring setup to reach full value.
Build Priority

Prioritize her group buff (Overseas Call) first to maximize the Crit DMG boost and damage reduction, then level up her Ultimate. Since her role is a crit-scaling buffer and sub-DPS, choose a Psychube leaning toward Crit Rate/Crit DMG and ATK so she hits hard herself while amplifying the team's carry.

Teams with Lorelei

Crit Buffer Chorus · Crit

Lorelei, Mercuria and Shamane all tap into Crit — combining it across three kits at once outperforms any single carry doing it alone. Sonetto keeps the line-up alive with Shield so that payoff has time to land.
