· Sui is scheduled for release on October 22, 2026, and features a short stature and a unique appearance.
· Unlike other short characters, her shorter movement speed or evasion frames are not significantly detrimental.
· While positioned as a sub-attacker, her unique operational style means she's only considered when a main attacker is unavailable.

· Sui possesses a unique trait where she only functions optimally when the main attacker is incapacitated.
· While capable of being a main attacker due to high multipliers, self-buffs, and a powerful signature weapon, this is a fallback option when no other choices exist.
· Officially classified as an elemental resonance-based supporter, her suitability as a sub-attacker outside of resonance is minimal.
· When using an elemental amplifier, she gains a 20% Electro DMG increase and a 25% Resonance Skill DMG increase, but these effects last only 8 seconds.
· The 25% Resonance Skill DMG increase is only applied when using an elemental amplifier and is granted exclusively to characters of the same element.
· For general characters, this amounts to a mere 20% Electro DMG increase for 8 seconds, making her ultimate ability comparable to a 4-star or lower, and the effect is easily replicated by other characters, diminishing its significance.
· This is not an issue if the attacker's resonance element matches, which seems to be a safeguard against the overuse of the same element.

· Her current synergy build is 66% complete, and even in its unfinished state, it demonstrates power that could redefine existing strength benchmarks.
· Sui occupies the opposite end of the spectrum compared to versatile characters.
· Sui's operation follows this sequence: enter enhanced state via swap → activate Resonance Liberation in enhanced state → gain synergy from Resonance Liberation and temporarily exit via rotation → re-enter via enhanced swap → finish with enhanced basic attacks and enhanced skills/follow-ups.
· While the intermediate rotation is complex, the core principle is to swap characters after activating Resonance Liberation to gain synergy.
· In her base state, she gains 'Fervor' points, accumulating up to 800. Upon reaching the maximum, a special skill can be activated, transitioning her into the enhanced state.
· Swapping in the normal state bypasses all intermediate steps and directly enters the enhanced state, with the special skill's multiplier not being particularly high.

· Entry into the enhanced state is achieved through swapping or using the special skill, which unlocks Resonance Liberation by consuming 'Fervor' points.
· Sui's Resonance Liberation grants an 'Attunement' state lasting 5 seconds upon activation, changing her character icon.
· Activating 'Dash' by consuming 'Attunement' triggers cooperative attacks up to 6 times over 3 seconds, with one attack per second.
· Sui's buffs are linked to 'Attunement' stacks; without reacting to 'Attunement', she won't gain 'Attunement Amplification', rendering her buffs almost ineffective.
· The cooperative attack limit of 6 hits is somewhat disappointing.
· Activating Resonance Liberation grants 200 'Fervor' accumulation.
· Various methods exist for gaining 'Fervor' in the enhanced state, beyond basic attacks.
· The 'Resonance Skill Counter' has a counter window immediately after activation and is utilized for purposes other than 'Fervor' accumulation.
· 'Special Attack' is divided into two types: a branching special attack after holding the button from the 2nd stage of the 4-stage enhanced basic attack sequence.

· Once 'Fervor' is maxed out in the enhanced state, the enhanced skill can be used.
· The enhanced skill slightly pulls in nearby enemies and allows for a follow-up skill.
· Holding the follow-up skill slightly increases its damage, resulting in a total damage of 2092% when combining the enhanced skill and the held follow-up skill.
· During the follow-up skill, time appears to stop.
· In summary, the sequence is: enter enhanced state via transformation → gain resonance energy via Resonance Liberation → accumulate energy via 2 enhanced basic attacks before Resonance Liberation → temporarily exit using resonance stacks → re-enter via enhanced transformation → accumulate energy via 2 enhanced basic attacks → use enhanced skill and held follow-up skill.

· 'Final Maneuver' lasts for 8 seconds, requiring mid-rotation re-entry to maintain buffs on the attacker.
· Acquiring the 'Resonance Amplification' node grants an effect lasting 30 seconds upon Resonance Liberation activation.
· This effect applies if 'Final Maneuver' is activated within 8 seconds after Resonance Liberation or follow-up skill activation.
· During 'Final Maneuver', the next character's Electro DMG increases by 30%, further increasing by 20% per Resonance Amplification stack, up to a maximum of 70%. This effect also lasts for 8 seconds.
· Resonance Skills trigger additional effects when possessing Resonance Layers; using a Resonance Skill within 5 seconds after Resonance Liberation grants 'Golden Trace'.
· 'Golden Trace' significantly amplifies damage but is a buff focused on individual DPS, making it unsuitable for a support role.
· The support slot is flexible, allowing for the selection of preferred supporters.

· At S0, 'Abyssal Spine' provides a 30% Electro DMG increase for 30 seconds upon acquiring layers.
· It grants a party-wide 24% Electro DMG increase buff for 30 seconds, which does not stack.
· Consuming her own resonance energy grants a 40% Electro DMG increase for 14 seconds, but this effect is removed upon character swap.
· Upon Resonance Liberation activation, Sui's Electro DMG increases by 54%, while other characters receive a 24% increase.
· Using Resonance immediately after Resonance Liberation removes the buff for other characters and increases Sui's Electro DMG to 70%.
· While this weapon has low versatility, it offers extremely powerful performance for Sui.
· The 'Moonlit Cloud' Echo set is recommended as it can substitute 'Resonance Efficiency', making preparation easier.

· 'Zhenyi' is not particularly strong on her own due to limited self-buffs, but becomes extremely powerful when synergized perfectly with 'Sui'.
· Sui can achieve even greater performance within a 'Zhenyi' team or a 'Sui' team.

· 'Verina' uses S6, S5 variant weapons, and the 'Regenerating Light' Echo set.
· The Tower of Adversity Floor 4 buff provides a 50% Electro DMG increase upon using Resonance Skills, significantly amplifying the damage of both 'Zhenyi' and 'Sui'.
· This is a potent buff commonly seen in Floors 3 and 4 of the Tower of Adversity, aiding in record-breaking attempts.

· 'Morning Star' awakens easily even without parrying, and bosses are increasingly being 'toy-ified'.
· 'Geno-Colossus' is also somewhat disappointing due to its initial flight phase, while the 'Intro Skill' hold is very powerful.
· Echo skills can be utilized like traps or residual past effects.
· The enhanced outro barrage is crucial in Phase 2, with the ultimate Resonance Liberation handling most of the damage.
· Enhanced basic attacks lack super armor or stagger resistance, becoming a weakness that must be compensated for with evasion and counters.
· Since 'Verina' does not require an outro skill, it's efficient to use this to reduce the 'stuttering' time of enhanced basic attacks and build stacks.

· 'Verina's' operation is fast, but suffers from the drawback of the finishing barrage's cooldown not being ready.
· Evasion may need to be inserted during enhanced basic attacks to buy time for the cooldown.
· The short 20-second duration of supporter Echo skills is outdated; a 30-second duration 'Nightmare Critical Error' is needed.
· Due to power creep, attack power figures are reaching levels previously unimaginable.
· 'Sui' is highly specialized for core paths, making her extremely versatile and difficult to utilize as a sub-attacker.
· Ultimately, the decision to pull for 'Sui' should be based on whether you possess her core and your future plans.

· If you possess Sui's core, she is highly recommended; otherwise, careful consideration is needed.
· Sui is specialized for the main attacker role, and her team synergy with 'Verina' is perfect.
· However, her enhanced basic attacks are difficult to use without interruption, demanding a stoic combat style.
· Weak effects and short durations are bottlenecks, and her utility as a sub-attacker is close to zero.
· Ultimately, whether to pull for 'Sui' depends on whether you have her core and your future plans.
