Cocoa Pros and Strength

Specializes in Supporting Allies and Assisting Cover

Cocoa's Traits and Skills specialize in supporting allies and providing Assisting Cover. Enhance your team with her Traits and Skills that offer not only high recovery amounts but also a wide range of effects, such as cost and cooldown reduction, as well as critical support.

Get ★5 to Maximize Potential

Cocoa's Trait grants buffs like [Breakfast], which has HP recovery and debuff removal effects, and [Happiness], which reduces NRG consumption by 1 and reduces CD by 1. However, at ★1 to ★4 Levels, the [Happiness] buff effect only activates at certain probabilities, so ★5 is required to fully use this ability. Thus prioritize collecting Memory Shards.

Powerful Assisting Cover and Auto Recovery

When the character is not in a dying state, she has [Potluck Protector], which provides defensive support to shield surrounding allies. This skill can be combined with [Try Harder!], which recovers HP after receiving a single attack. This combination allows the character to absorb attacks while simultaneously recovering HP, significantly enhancing the party's defense.

Be Careful of Numerous Attacks and M.ATK

There is no limit to the number of times she can take attacks for her allies, but she can only recover with [Stay Strong!] up to 2 times. Therefore, you need to be cautious not to find yourself in a situation where your recovery cannot keep up with attacks from numerous enemies or M.ATK, to which Defender characters are particularly vulnerable.

Use Different Skills Based on the Situation

Cocoa's Treasure Chest offers the option to use one of four available skills, each with powerful effects. Primarily use [Snow Lotus] to increase damage dealt and reduce damage taken or utilize [Hallucinogenic Mushroom] to deal damage, penetrate defenses, and apply debuffs. Meanwhile, choose recovery skills when needed based on the situation.

Excels in Various Stages

By using various skills, you can deploy high-performance abilities such as support, Assisting Cover, single-target debuffs, and damage reduction depending on the stage. Since she is powerful against both single and multiple enemies, it is recommended to prioritize strengthening her by collecting memory shards and Tarot cards.

For Rank 3 skills, both are useful in battle, so you can unlock "Potluck Protector" first, then "Cocoa's Treasure Chest". If you have an extra "Castalia", consider unlocking the damage reduction skill "Invulnerable" at Rank 11 and "Mountain Tribes" at Rank 1 for the HP 3% increase skill.
