Col Pros and Strength

Act Again with Back or Side Kills

Col's main draw is her Trait [Killer Instinct], which allows her to Act Again whenever she kills an enemy from behind or from the side. This can be used offensively by using Col to attack another nearby enemy, or defensively by retreating to a safer area. This makes Col very adaptable to most situations.

Aim for sure kills

Keep in mind that you will not be able to Act Again if Col does not kill her initial target. This means that you should always aim for sure kills during Col's turn.

Consider criticals

When choosing a target, the game does not take criticals into consideration when showing you the damage preview of Col's attacks. The game does not factor critical damage multipliers into the enemy hp bar. This means that even when the game shows you that an enemy will survive Col's attack, that same enemy can still die if Col lands critical hits.

Rank 7 Power Spike

Col's true potential is unlocked once you've upgraded her to Rank 7 where she can unlock the Passive Skill [Omen of Death]. This ability not only restores 2 NRG each time you defeat an enemy, but it also stacks 'Feverish Beast,' enhancing your critical hit rate and granting life steal effects. By combining this with Act Again, you can easily take down multiple foes and push the fight in your advantage.

Tips!Critical Rate and Life Steal +15% (can stack up to 5 times). Life Steal also increases survivability.

Strengthening Allies and Invisibility Are Also Powerful

In addition to defeating enemies, Col can also enhance your [Alacrity] allies with his aura. Furthermore, when you become invisible with the Rank 3 Skill [Mask], your opponents won’t be able to hit you with single-target attacks or skills, allowing you to perform covert actions and block paths. This makes him versatile and valuable in a wide range of situations.

Star Level Up Priority & Recommended Stars for Col

Aim to Reach 3★ → 5★

Star Level Up PriorityRecommended Star Level
A Tier3★ → 5★

Col gets a major boost in usability with higher star levels. At 3-stars, her extra action becomes available every two turns, and at 5-stars, she can use it every turn. If you plan to use Col often, aim for 3-stars first, then work toward 5-stars for maximum effectiveness.

Priority Skills

SkillBuild Priority and Details
Eerie FootworkEerie Footwork★★★★★
While it occasionally overextends Col, gaining Dodge is very important for Col. This is generally recommended as Col's best Reaction.
Omen of DeathOmen of Death★★★★★
A passive that grants powerful buffs when any character, ally or foe, is defeated. This is the most important Skill for supporting Col's strength, so make sure to slot this skill.
Hidden ThornHidden Thorn★★★★★
A Basic Attack with the valuable effect of ignoring [Assisting Cover], which is Col's weakness.
Wipe OutWipe Out★★★★★
A powerful Skill that deals high damage + [Ignore Assist], and also grants [Dodge] if an enemy is defeated. Since Col wants to finish off enemies to Act Again, you generally want to equip this high-damage Skill.
AssaultAssault★★★★
An easy-to-use self-buff Skill that increases Mov and Crit. It's a generally useful in various situations, especially when you need more movement.
MaskMask★★★★
Allows you to gain significant Critical UP and Invisibility. Invisibility allows Col to reach backline targets safely, so equip it as needed.
Perfect AssassinPerfect Assassin★★★★
A Leader's Aura that greatly enhances the [Alacrity] Faction. Col is also significantly buffed, and especially the crit dmg and crit chance matches their kit, so equip it with priority.
Secondary Priorities
SkillPriority and Details
Flurry of StabsFlurry of Stabs★★★
Compared to [Wipe Out], it has lower damage but its NRG cost is 2 lower. It's an option to equip this when NRG Recovery support is lacking or when facing weaker enemies.
AmbushAmbush★★★
It matches Col's role of wanting to defeat enemies in one hit, so it's an option when you want to one-shot Unharmed enemies.
Traceless ShadowTraceless Shadow★★★
Allows you to teleport to the enemy when attacked, so it can be effective in stages where you are attacked by Ranged enemies. Equip it if there's an obvious need or when you want to prioritize [Dodge] at all costs.
CounterattackCounterattack★★
In low-difficulty stages equipping this Reaction is also an option for faster clears, but generally, you want to avoid situations where Col will receive an attack.
Critical StrikeCritical Strike★★
Superior to [Hidden Thorn] on stages without [Assisting Cover].
Shadow GaitShadow Gait
The ability to move to the enemy's back is appealing. If you don't have enough Move and absolutely cannot reach the enemy's back, equipping this is also an option.

Recommended Gear, Tarots, & Engravings

Recommended Weapons for Col

Void StabVoid StabNewborn BladeNewborn BladeCeremonial KnifeCeremonial Knife

For Col, who utilizes [Act Again] and [Omen of Death], the weapon [Void Stab] is a perfect fit and highly recommended. If you don’t have it, [Newborn Blade] and [Ceremonial Knife] are great general alternatives.

Recommended Trinkets for Col

Maverick's CloakMaverick's CloakFlying Blade ArmguardFlying Blade ArmguardRoaring FlintRoaring Flint

Col typically positions herself away from allies, closer to the enemy backline to target low-hp foes. This makes [Maverick's Cloak] her best-in-slot for her offensive potential. Alternatively, a Trinket that shaves off a certain percentage of the enemy's HP is also viable.

Recommended Tarots for Col

Temptation of The DevilTemptation of The DevilMajesty of the EmperorMajesty of the EmperorVerdict of JusticeVerdict of Justice

In the latter half of battles, [The Devil], which boosts both offense and defense, and [The Emperor] which increases damage against [Unharmed] enemies are especially recommended. [Justice] also pairs well, but be cautious as its critical rate boost can sometimes be excessive.

Recommended Engravings for Col

ResonanceEffect
Sword icon Sword
Wand icon Wand
Before actively attacking, for each 1 tile traversed, increases ATK and DEF by 4%, up to 12%. The effect lasts until the start of the next turn,
Sword icon Sword
Cup icon Cup
When actively attacking, increases the DMG by 5% and grants 15% of [Life Steal].
Sword icon Sword
Pentacle icon Pentacle
When [unharmed], increases ATK and DEF by 12%.

With her high movement, Col easily maximizes the [Sword + Wand] engraving resonance. Alternatively, you could also engrave [Sword + Cup] for damage and [Life Steal], or even [Wand + Wand], which works very well with characters who can [Act Again].

Col Ascended

▲ Unlock Ascended Skin when character reaches Star Level 5.

A mysterious assassin belonging to Miguel’s mercenary group. She glides around the battlefield wearing a mask. Col strikes swiftly and lethally, making her a frightening opponent for anyone unlucky enough to be her target. Despite her strange visage, beneath the mask is the face of an innocent child. Col was adopted by Miguel when he found her on the verge of death, and she grew up to be a terrifying weapon for his mercenary group due to her extraordinary abilities. Because death is all she knows, Col lacks any sense of how the world works. Her personality is that of a child, and she depends entirely on Miguel for direction. While humans are little more than targets for her, she loves small animals-especially cats.
