Aquarius Degel
Profile Update

Degel is part of the Frost team, a unit designed to mix pursuit pressure and control, but in practice he does not excel at either role. It does not do enough damage and its freezing ability is not as strong as that of other units. Diamond Dust Zero Light helps him build his engine, but the kit still relies too much on setup through Ice Seal and Crystal of Wisdom before Aurora Execution can consistently threaten or lock a priority target.

Ice Barrier gives him his best identity by enabling follow-up pressure and reactive freezing windows, and Crystal of Wisdom adds utility for status-oriented teams, but the overall value remains very tied to Frost compositions and long setup cycles. Outside of that team, his support is limited and his control feels unreliable compared to other options that deliver cleaner impact with less condition.

It’s a difficult unit to recommend, even if you’re a fan of freezing teams, as other aquariums perform that function better. It urgently needs a RC to see what happens. For now, for most accounts, it’s not worth investing in.

Pros

  • Has some control
  • Pursuit attacks can hurt

Cons

  • Really hard to use
  • Needs an Ice Team
  • Damage is not high enough
  • Control is not always reliable

Degel deals 110% C.DMG to the target, has a 55% chance to apply 1 stack of Ice Seal and gains 1 stack of Crystal of Wisdom.

Skill 2

Aurora Execution

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Deals 140% C.DMG to all enemies and has a 40% (+ Status HIT) chance to freeze the main target. Each stack of Ice Seal on the target increases the chance by 5% and the freezing lasts for 2 action turns. If the main target is in the Frozen/Black Ice status, consumes up to 2 stacks of Crystal of Wisdom, each stack dealing 20% C.DMG, freezes the target for action turns equal to Degel's stacks of Crystal of Wisdom in a round (cannot be purified), and applies 2 stacks of Ice Seal.

Skill 3

Ice Barrier

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Degel creates an Ice Barrier that lasts 2 turns. When it is active, if allies attack enemies with Ice Seal, Degel has a 35% chance to launch a pursuit basic attack to the main target (up to 3 times in each round). After an enemy attacks an ally, has a [10% + Stacks of Crystal of Wisdom *5%] chance (+ Status HIT) to freeze the attacker for 2 action turns (cannot be purified) and gains 1 stack of Ice Seal (triggers up to 1 time each round). At the start of each battle, Degel creates a zero-cost Ice Barrier.

Skill 4

Crystal of Wisdom

Lv1Lv2Lv3Lv4Lv5

Each stack of Crystal of Wisdom increases Status HIT of allies by 3% and increases Degel's pursuit chances by 4%. Degel gains 1 stack of Crystal of Wisdom and increases the stack limit in each round, starting at the max of 2 stacks and up to 10 stacks.
