Simona Pros and Strength

High Physical Durability Due to Trait and Skill

There are many ways to obtain Ice Armor (Physical Shield) through Traits and Skills. By using the Rank 3 Skill [Ice-Made Armor], you can also grant Ice Armor to your allies, thereby increasing the physical durability of all your team members.

Possesses Many Skills to Hinder Enemies

The Ice Wall, which can be summoned by unlocking RK11's Skill, is a powerful ability that is very useful for creating decoys and obstructing movement. Additionally, with other skills, [Winter Doomsday] excels at hindering the enemy by reducing their movement and applying the Frozen debuff, which blocks the enemy's actions.

Powerful Against Physical ATKs and Multiple Enemies

In stages where the enemy is mainly using P.ATK or where you are facing multiple enemies, it is extremely powerful due to Ice Armor and movement obstruction. On the other hand, be cautious in stages that focus on M.ATK or in stages where enemies can nullify movement-related debuffs.

For Rank 3 skills, prioritize unlocking the support skill "Ice-made Armor" and consider unlocking the "Ice Assault" if you have an extra "Castalia" to spare. For Rank 5 skills, both have their advantages; if you focus on durability, unlocking the "Protection of Ice" is also a good option.
