3. Normal Skill and Sub Skill Linkage: Damage Accumulation and Explosion

✅ Normal Skill: Deals damage to one enemy when the amplification device stops operating, and adds accumulated damage.
✅ Sub Skill: Provides a critical hit buff to allies when the amplification device is installed, and accumulates 10% of the damage dealt by allies within range. (Up to 5000% of Kay's base attack power)
✅ After accumulating damage dealt by allies for 25 seconds, you can deal explosive damage through the Normal Skill.
✅ Accumulated damage is treated as Mystic-type damage, not fixed damage that ignores defense.

4. Skill Enhancement Priority and Pros and Cons Analysis

✅ Skill Enhancement Priority: EX Skill > Normal Skill > Sub Skill > Passive Skill
✅ Advantages: Can perform roles differentiated from Swimsuit Hoshino, stable support against Mystic-type bosses, additional damage, and fast skill rotation
⚠️ Disadvantage: Durability issues due to low base HP

09:28 - 10:50

5. Swimsuit Hoshino vs. Kay Comparative Analysis: Differentiated Strengths

✅ In the past, formations were mainly composed of Explosive-type dealers, but now, with the emergence of Mystic-type bosses, changes in dealer composition are necessary.
✅ Kay has Composite Armor, which is advantageous against Mystic types, and can replace the role that Swimsuit Hoshino used to play.
✅ Kay does not have a cost recovery effect, but compensates for this with additional damage and skill rotation.
⚠️ Unlike Swimsuit Hoshino, Kay cannot perform the role of a tank, so durability needs to be considered.

10:51 - 12:43

6. Students with Good Synergy with Kay and Recommended Content

✅ Recommended Student: The combination with Aris (Pre-emptive) released at the same time is very good. It maximizes firepower by providing Aris with the attack power and Mystic special effect buffs she lacks.
✅ Recommended Content: Special Armor Boss, Peroro[zilla] (Mystic Type), Horde
✅ In particular, Kay is expected to solve the difficulty of employing existing Mystic-type dealers in Peroro[zilla].
✅ Can be combined with high-cost students to reduce cost burden.

12:44 - 13:33

7. Tactical Contest Usage and Gameplay

✅ Can be used in Tactical Contest, but performance can vary greatly depending on compatibility and composition.
✅ If used well, you can subdue your opponent with powerful firepower, but if not, you can easily collapse.

13:34 - 14:34

8. Overall Review: Excellent Buffing Ability, Supporter with Important Strategic Use

✅ Kay is a powerful supporter that provides excellent buffs at a low cost.
✅ Balance adjustments have been made well compared to the 1.5th-anniversary character, but it still boasts powerful performance.
✅ If you enhance her skills well, she can sufficiently perform her role even with 3 stars.
