Black Flame Wings Axe Diane, the Serpent Sin of Envy, is a giant warrior of The Seven Deadly Sins known for her immense strength and deep loyalty, particularly toward Meliodas. A SSR character, she is a pure Earth-element unit across all her weapon options, allowing her to excel in Earth-based team compositions. Diane can wield an Axe, Gauntlets, or Nunchaku, each transforming her role from a burst damage dealer to a durable tank or a supportive controller. Her versatility, combined with strong synergy within Earth teams, makes her a cornerstone unit for players focusing on this element.
With the Axe, Diane becomes a burst-oriented attacker who thrives during Earth Burst windows. Her Passive significantly increases damage dealt to enemies affected by Earth Burst, making timing essential for maximizing her output. A key part of her kit is the “Breaker” debuff, which increases the damage enemies take based on their Defense and amplifies Diane’s own attacks. She can also Stun enemies, adding a layer of control to her offensive playstyle. Her abilities synergize around applying Breaker before unleashing her skills, as her Normal Skill deals increased damage against affected targets and her Special Attack benefits from reduced cooldowns.
When equipped with Gauntlets, Diane shifts into a defensive tank role focused on survivability and sustained pressure. Her Ultimate grants the Heavy Metal state, allowing her to absorb damage while continuing to build Burst on enemies. She becomes highly resilient, with immunity to certain reactions and the ability to continuously increase her Defense through her Normal Skill. Managing her cooldowns is key, as her Special Attack can reset her Normal Skill, enabling her to maintain her Defense buffs consistently.
In her Nunchaku configuration, Diane takes on a hybrid support role that combines utility, control, and team protection. She can rapidly accumulate Earth Burst, especially by combining her movement speed debuff with her Ultimate, which greatly increases the enemy’s Burst Gauge. Her Passive provides shields and continuous healing to allies upon activating Burst, scaling with her own HP and Defense, which encourages a durable build. Additionally, she can apply Petrify after multiple hits within her skill area, increasing the damage enemies take from Earth attacks and enabling strong synergy with Earth-based damage dealers.
