Strengths & Weaknesses

March 7th

Strengths
  • “March 7th, the Apex Heroine” dumps a huge single-target Imaginary multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
  • Skill “Master, It's Tea Time!” Designates one ally (excluding this unit) as "Shifu" and increases "Shifu"'s SPD by 12.0%—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
  • Talent “Master, I've Ascended!” After Shifu uses an attack or Ultimate, March 7th gains up to 1 point of Charge each time—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
Weaknesses
  • “March 7th, the Apex Heroine” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while March 7th focuses the elite.
  • As a 4★ The Hunt 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 “Master, It's Tea Time!” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—March 7th is often the SP sink.

Sushang

Strengths
  • “Shape of Taixu: Dawn Herald” dumps a huge single-target Physical multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
  • Skill “Cloudfencer Art: Mountainfall” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
  • Talent “Dancing Blade” When an enemy has their Weakness Broken on the field, Sushang's SPD increases by 22.5% for 2 turn(s)—ignore it and Sushang plays like a worse generic The Hunt unit.
