Necrologist — Review & Analysis

Necrologist

Necrologist is a survival-oriented Mineral support (5★). Her Ultimate grants the whole team [Prayer] — allies survive one fatal blow, restore HP equal to 100% ATK and deal 30% more damage for 3 rounds, making her a shield against burst combos. Her two single-target Incantations deal armor-penetrating Mental DMG while dispelling enemy buffs, and her passive keeps the team healed, so she plays as a buffer-support rather than a pure DPS.

Strengths
  • Ultimate grants team-wide [Prayer]: survive one fatal hit, heal 100% ATK and +30% DMG for 3 rounds — excellent anti-burst.
  • Incantation II dispels all of the target's Attribute/State Buffs, stripping boss and enemy buffs.
  • Incantation I adds 30% penetration, cutting through high-defense targets.
  • Passive (Insight III) heals based on ATK each time a [Prayer] is consumed, sustaining the team.
Weaknesses
  • Her Mineral Afflatus is countered by Star, taking 30% extra damage in that matchup — pick her fights carefully.
  • [Prayer] only triggers once and cannot stack; if the team never eats a fatal hit its anti-burst value is wasted, and her own single-target damage is modest (C tier).
Build Priority

Level her Ultimate first, since [Prayer] and the 30% DMG buff are the heart of her kit, then Incantation II (buff dispel + highest damage). Because both her healing and buff value scale off the user's ATK, favor an ATK-boosting Psychube to amplify damage and sustain alike; if the team needs to endure, a support/survival-leaning Psychube is also worth considering.
