Tennant — Review & Analysis
Tennant is a survival-leaning support: A River of Stars blankets the whole team with a [Shield] (up to 200% ATK) and cuts incoming damage by 20% while it holds, and her passive auto-casts that shield on battle entry and whenever her own HP drops below 50%, so upkeep is almost free. Her ultimate deals single-target Reality DMG while stripping 30 Reality DEF from the target, opening the door for Reality DPS. Damage is secondary here; she is a defensive anchor. Beast Afflatus, C tier.
- Team-wide [Shield] (up to 200% ATK) plus a flat 20% damage-taken reduction — a real defensive layer for the whole party.
- Passive auto-casts the shield on entry and when HP falls below 50%, costing almost no turns to maintain.
- Ultimate shreds 30 Reality DEF for 2 rounds, amplifying your Reality-damage carries.
- The shield only lasts 1 round, so you must recast constantly to keep the damage-reduction layer up.
- Beast Afflatus is countered by Mineral — she takes an extra 30% damage from Mineral enemies.
- Her damage is single-target and modest for a 5-star; her worth is defensive, which lands her at C tier.
Level A River of Stars first — it is the core of Tennant's value; the thicker the shield, the more reliable the damage-reduction layer. Follow with her ultimate to lock in the Reality DEF shred. Because the shield scales off her own ATK, an ATK-boosting Psychube raises both shield strength and her chip damage at once; if you want her sturdier, defensive or support-oriented Psychubes also suit the role.
