At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Aventurine
- Ultimate “Roulette Shark” buffs allies’ damage for a short window—level this before polishing filler traces.
- Talent “Shot Loaded Right” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—damage keeps flowing even when Aventurine is not the active turn.
- Skill “Cornerstone Deluxe” applies a Shield that absorbs incoming damage—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Follow-Ups from “Shot Loaded Right” need allies who actually Basic ATK on schedule—freeze/CC on the team stalls Aventurine’s off-turn damage.
- Shield value falls when content is a pure damage race or when the carry already has invulnerability frames—over-building Aventurine’s relics delays the DPS sets that actually end cycles.
- Spamming “Cornerstone Deluxe” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Aventurine is often the SP sink.
March 7th
- 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.
- 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.
