Garcia Pros and Strength

Plays an Active Role in Extended Battles

The Trait [Executioner] accumulates a stack of "Rotational Acceleration" at the start of an action, gradually increasing attack performance. It is extremely powerful, providing up to a 36% increase in ATK and DEF, a 30% boost to Crit Rate and Crit Damage, ignore 40% DEF and ignore Block. These attributes make it especially effective in prolonged battles.

Finish Off Targets With Assisting Attack

Using Rank 5 Skill [Fatal Reaping] is highly effective. If an enemy within range drops below 30% HP due to an ally's attack, Garcia will deliver a finishing blow with Piercing DMG. However, be cautious if the enemy has a skill that reduces damage based on their remaining HP, as this may prevent you from finishing them off.

Powerful Physical Defense Down

[Lock-On] is highly effective as it reduces the physical defense of the nearby enemy with the highest physical attack. Garcia excels particularly against single bosses, so be sure to prioritize bringing Garcia to battles that are likely to be prolonged.

It is Important to Align With Your Allies

Since Garcia lacks Jump and Climb abilities, her maneuverability is lower compared to other Seekers. Additionally, without the Dodge skill, it's crucial for Garcia to team up with allies rather than going solo. Focus on accumulating Rotational Acceleration stacks to compensate for her mobility limitations.

Take Advantage of Hookshot

While keeping pace with your allies, use [Hookshot] and [Spinning Blade] to draw enemies out from the group.
