Should You Pull?YES

Yes for Fusion on-field burst—Galbrena’s Liberation dump is the clear plan. Liberation “Hellfire Absolution” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains. Best with Changli / Brant / Shorekeeper. Needs Fusion amp and clean Concerto before the Liberation window. Skip when Changli/Lupa already cover both Fusion sides.

Galbrena is a 5★ Fusion Main DPS who fights with a Pistols. Liberation “Hellfire Absolution” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains. Forte “Beyond Threshold” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains.

Strengths

  • Liberation “Hellfire Absolution” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains — that window is where Galbrena’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Beyond Threshold” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
  • Aerial / plunge routes give flexible dodge and reposition options mid-combo.
  • Dodge Counter recoveries let you rejoin the combo after a mistimed i-frame.

Weaknesses

  • Field-time hungry once Liberation “Hellfire Absolution” is up — double-DPS swaps dilute the dump window.
  • Wants dedicated supports and ER planning; dropped into a random squad, Liberation uptime falls off a cliff.
