Pros & Cons for Sagan Shinomiya (The Resurgent Commander)
Support with Dual Attributes: Blunt/Fire
Sagan Shinomiya (The Resurgent Commander) is a 5★ Support with dual Attributes: Blunt/Fire. Through her Passive Skill, her Extra Attacks can also randomly destroy Elemental PLTs.
Boosts Ally ATK and Extra Attack Performance
The Command granted by her Ultimate increases the entire team's CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, and Extra Attack CRIT DMG. Her Additional Passive Skill further increases Follow-Up Skill and Extra Attack CRIT DMG. Her Combat Skill can also increase the entire team's DMG Dealt and Extra Attack DMG Dealt, making her a powerful Support who boosts ally damage output and synergizes exceptionally well with Extra Attack users.
Increases ATK and Destroys Elemental PLTs
Through her Passive Skill, she gains 1 stack of Zeal whenever an ally attacks, up to a maximum of 15 stacks. When she reaches 10 or more stacks, 10 are consumed, allowing her to trigger an AoE Extra Attack after using a Normal Attack, Combat Skill, or Ultimate. After the Extra Attack, she increases the entire team's ATK and Extra Attack ATK while also randomly destroying 1 Elemental PLT.
Can Also Advance Allies' Action Order
Her Ultimate advances the Action Order of all allies except herself. In addition, her next Action Order is advanced by 25% at the start of battle, and using a Normal Attack grants her +20 Ultimate Gauge.
Aim for A1 and A2 First
At A1, she can increase allies' DEF PEN Rate and boost her own Extra Attack Multiplier. At A2, she gains increased Blunt DMG Dealt, reduces allies' DMG Taken, and gains additional Zeal stacks, making it easier to maintain ATK buffs and build Zeal. Prioritize A1 and A2 first. If resources allow, A4 enhances her Extra Attack buff, while A6 further improves her performance by increasing the number of Elemental PLTs effects she can destroy.
