A1
Ample Stamina
After activating Ultimate, applies Ultimate Gauge Charge Rate +20% (2 turn(s)) to this unit.
Tae Nakanoshima [The Keen-Eyed Platoon Leader] is a Slash and Fire-element Attacker who specializes in sustained damage through Burn. By inflicting Burn on enemies and increasing her own DoT DMG Multiplier, she can steadily ramp up her damage output and remain effective in prolonged fights.
She also benefits from a fast Ultimate rotation, as breaking enemy Resistance increases her Ultimate Gauge. At A1, using her Ultimate further boosts her Ultimate Gauge Charge Rate, allowing her to cycle Ultimates more frequently and maintain pressure. With access to both Physical (Slash) and Fire damage, Tae can break a variety of Resistances, making her a flexible pick across multiple types of content.
While her current placement sits at a mid-tier rank she remains a viable option for players who need consistent Fire damage and DoT pressure and don’t have a 5 star character. Her kit’s reliance on Burn makes her more effective in longer fights where she can stack debuffs and maintain uptime on her passive ATK buff.
Tae’s Blazing Fire Shot is her primary tool for applying Burn, and with an 80% base chance, she can reliably trigger it on most targets. Combined with her Heat Grenade Ultimate, which boosts her DoT Multiplier before dealing damage, she can output respectable sustained damage over the course of a battle. Her Fervent Drive passive rewards her for attacking Burned targets with a temporary ATK increase, creating a self-sustaining damage loop.
In terms of team building, Tae pairs well with other debuff-focused allies who can complement her Burn setup or benefit from the Fire DoT pressure. She shines brightest in content where enemies have high HP pools and battles extend beyond a few turns, allowing her ramp-up mechanics to fully activate.
