Piper's Strength
Excels in Attribute Anomaly and Daze
Piper has a high Anomaly Buildup Rate and can easily activate Assault on enemies. Her high Daze buildup works well with the Flinch effect as well, and can Stun enemies as fast as any Stun character.
| Physical Anomaly Definitions | |
|---|---|
| Assault | Stops enemy movement and deals high Physical DMG |
| Flinch | Increases Daze for a certain amount of time. *There is no indication on screen when activated |
| Assault deals high Physical damage when the Anomaly buildup becomes full, then you can activate Flinch to apply a debuff after that. | |
Long Lasting Damage Buff is Also Powerful
Piper gets 1 stack of "Power" when her EX Special Attack hits an enemy, and each stack (max 20 stacks) increases her Physical Anomaly Buildup Rate. Also, if there is a character in her team from the same Faction or Attribute, DMG output increases for the whole team while she has 20 stacks.
Piper's Weakness
Weak Against High Interruption Attacks
Piper has no invincibility while using Special Attacks or EX Special Attacks. To take advantage of her abilities, it is necessary to continue spinning attacks while enduring incoming attacks with Anti-Interrupt. So you need to be careful against opponents with high interruption attacks or high firepower attacks.

Piper - Best Team Comp
Soldier 11 Team
| Attack | Anomaly | Support |
|---|---|---|
| Soldier 11 | Piper | Lucy |
Soldier 11 Spends Most Time in Battle
Soldier 11 is capable of staying in battle for long periods of time, making the buffs that last more than 10s useful. You have 2 Fire Attributes and 1 Physical, in addition to Piper who can Stun enemies quickly. You will be able to both Stun and apply Disorder to the enemy.
Switch from Soldier 11 Right before Buff Ends
Maintain your buff effects, especially Piper's Power stacks. Use Soldier 11 as long as possible, then right before the buff ends switch to Piper to use the EX Special Attack to maintain the buff.
Low Cost Gacha Corin Team
Deal Massive DMG while Enemy is Stunned
Use Piper to stun the enemy then Corin can deal damage while the buffs are effective in addition to the Guard Boars automatic attacks. Try to avoid using Corin when the enemy is not stunned. Keep switching characters to maintain the buffs and apply Disorder to the enemy.

Piper - Strategy and Combo
After participating, Shoot EX Special Attack and Immediately Switch
After appearing in combat, Piper uses EX Special Attack to the derivation level and gives Attribute Anomaly and Buff and connects it to the attacker. Rotating Slash continuously consumes energy, but it will activate the damage buff, so keep using it until you hit 20 times.
| Tips! | You can continue attacking until Stunned, but be careful not to consume too much energy to maintain the buff. |
|---|
Aim to Maintain Damage Buff as much as Possible
Piper's damage buff has a somewhat low effect, but has a very long duration of 12 seconds. In order to give Chaotic Metal frequently, and unless you are stunned, try to participate before the buff runs out and reapply it.
