GUIDEMechanics and How to Use

At a Glance

A single-target Envy Pierce E.G.O used before allies attack to inflict Pierce Fragility and Envy Fragility, raising the damage of the Pierce and Envy skills that follow.

Core Mechanics

  • Inflicting Fragility: On hit, inflicts Pierce Fragility (3 at Threadspin Ⅲ) and 1 Envy Fragility. Fragility only lasts for 1 turn, so it must land before allies attack.
  • Curse (Threadspin Ⅲ): Inflicts 3 Curse on Heads Hit. At Turn End, it applies one random effect such as Attack Power Down for the next turn, so you cannot choose the result.
  • Nails and extra damage (Threadspin Ⅳ): Inflicts 3 Nails (a special Bleed) on Heads Hit and deals +50% damage to targets with Curse.
  • High Clash Power: A fairly high 14–24, or 16–26 at Threadspin Ⅲ. If the team can cover 6 Envy, it also works for Clashing.
  • Passive — It Hurts!: +10% damage dealt for each negative effect on herself, up to 50%.

How to Use

  • Fire it first with a fast Identity, apply Fragility, and then let allies attack.
  • Use Awakening if the follow-up attackers mainly use Pierce, and Corrosion if they mainly use Envy. Corrosion inflicts 1 Pierce Fragility and 1 Envy Fragility, or 3 Envy Fragility at Threadspin Ⅲ. Corrosion cannot distinguish friend from foe, and its targets are random, so it can hit allies.
  • It only requires 6 Envy, so pair it with a team that can produce plenty of Envy.
