· With the unveiling of Epic Seven New Era on March 28th, the new hero Salome is garnering significant anticipation.
· According to information revealed at the showcase, Salome is described as belonging to the 'Black Holy Grail Cult,' a 'Fallen Heir,' and an 'Executor.' Her resemblance to Ras also draws attention to potential story connections.
· Another skill cutscene for Salome was revealed in the Episode 6 PV video, showcasing high quality.

· Salome possesses the ability to replicate and use the skill of one hero on the battlefield.
· When using a skill, she transforms into the target character and can immediately use their S3 without cooldown.
· The stats of the replicated hero are also transferred, allowing her to fully utilize that hero's power.
· However, since she returns to her original form after using the skill, it's crucial whether buffs or unique effects persist after skill use.
· Whether artifact effects are included in the stat transfer is also expected to significantly impact the skill's value.
· Key considerations when replicating skills are as follows:

Category	Details
Replication Target	Can replicate skills of allied and enemy heroes The key is whether heroes that cannot be targeted, such as Mediator Arowell or Stranger Sogi, can be replicated.
Skill Use	Can immediately use S3 without cooldown Can also immediately use S3 of heroes with max Fighting Spirit/Focus at the start of battle (e.g., Notos, Ran) Whether S1 and S2 can be used is unknown
Stat Transfer	Replicated hero's stats (e.g., Effectiveness, Health) are transferred as is Whether artifact effects are transferred is unknown
Effect Persistence	Since she returns to her original form after skill use, the persistence of the replicated hero's buffs/unique effects is crucial

· Beyond her replication skill, Salome might also have her own S1, S2, or passive abilities that generate Focus/Fighting Spirit to use additional skills.
· Epic Seven has many heroes with extremely high-value S3s, making Salome's potential uses endless.
· Heroes expected to create strong synergy when replicated are as follows:

Category	Expected Heroes	Expected Effects
