Should You Pull?SITUATIONAL

Situational—Preservation March is an early Ice shielder. Ultimate “Glacial Cascade” hits every enemy on the field in one cast. Single-target Skill shield; Freezes are unreliable. Skip when you own any limited sustain.

March 7th is a 4★ Ice Preservation Shielder. Skill “The Power of Cuteness” is the primary in-combat spend. Ultimate “Glacial Cascade” is the payoff window for damage or team utility. This Phase 1 page covers kit text, gear targets, and pull notes—team comps stay empty until Phase 2.

Strengths

  • Ultimate “Glacial Cascade” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
  • Skill “The Power of Cuteness” applies a Shield that absorbs incoming damage—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
  • Talent “Girl Power” applies a Shield that absorbs incoming damage—ignore it and March 7th plays like a worse generic Preservation unit.
  • Technique “Freezing Beauty” opens by hitting the pack on pull-in—use it before every MoC wave, not only in the overworld.

Weaknesses

  • Shield value falls when content is a pure damage race or when the carry already has invulnerability frames—over-building March 7th’s relics delays the DPS sets that actually end cycles.
  • As a 4★ Preservation unit, March 7th is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
  • Spamming “The Power of Cuteness” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—March 7th is often the SP sink.
  • If “Glacial Cascade” is still offline at the end of a MoC cycle, the build is usually Energy/ERR or rotation order—not a missing CRIT roll.

General

Open with Technique if it helps, spend Skill to advance the kit’s resource, and hold Ultimate for the damage or buff window. Exact teammate order lands in Phase 2.

Supports online

Open supports first, then spend the carry’s Skill/Ult inside the buff window. Exact order varies by the team tab above.

E1Memory of You

Every time March 7th's Ultimate Freezes a target, she regenerates 6 Energy.
