At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
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.
Trailblazer (Preservation)
- Ultimate “War-Flaming Lance” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
- Skill “Ever-Burning Amber” scales DMG Reduction with low HP and locks max reduction in the burst state—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Treasure of the Architects” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
- Shield value falls when content is a pure damage race or when the carry already has invulnerability frames—over-building Trailblazer (Preservation)’s relics delays the DPS sets that actually end cycles.
- Trailblazer (Preservation)’s best Light Cone usually shares the character banner—E0S0 on a strong path cone still clears, but expect a noticeable gap until the signature (or a close path alternative) is online.
- Spamming “Ever-Burning Amber” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Trailblazer (Preservation) is often the SP sink.
