X — Review & Analysis
x is an Intellect character built around single-target Reality DMG paired with a heavy dispel toolkit. Both Incantations attack while stripping the target's [Buff]/[Stat Boost] and [Counter], and every dispel inflicts [Silence] for 1-2 rounds — making x a specialist at shutting enemies down. The Final Ritual hits all foes, reduces their Fervor by 2 and applies [Restless], so the role leans toward a control-oriented sub-DPS rather than a pure damage dealer.
- Comprehensive dispel: strips [Buff], [Stat Boost] and [Counter] alike, countering bosses that rely on self-buffs and retaliation.
- Every dispel inflicts [Silence] (1-2 rounds), locking enemy skills — strong control value.
- The Final Ritual is AoE, reduces Fervor by 2 and applies [Restless], stalling the entire enemy team's turns.
- Intellect afflatus stands outside the Afflatus counter cycle — it counters nothing, but she gets an innate +8% DMG on entering battle.
- Tier D: modest raw damage, valued for control utility rather than carrying as the main DPS.
- The [Silence]/dispel payoff depends on the enemy actually having [Buff]/[Counter] to remove — nearly dead weight against "clean" foes; and her Intellect Afflatus stands outside the counter cycle (no bonus DMG taken on this axis).
Prioritize leveling the two Incantations first, since they are the main source of both damage and dispels (multipliers scale up to 450-500% with promotions), then the Final Ritual to lock in the AoE control. As x is a Reality DMG dealer, pick Psychubes geared toward ATK / crit to push damage output, and avoid healing-oriented ones.
