  • You prefer Perlica's Electric Infliction + Electrify identity over Camille's SP Recovery + Heat Infliction.
  • Perlica is the Electrification uptime Arts buffers are measured against — free Electrification from Combo Skill, fast Electric Infliction from Battle Skill, and enough personal Arts damage that she is not a pure aura stick.
