Costume Designs

Nothing much to say here, her damage is great, the pattern is decent, and her skill can be spammed.

The 80% life cost might sound like a lot, but since magic teams can use either B-Rank Idol Helena or Medical Club Teresse, this cost is pretty much a non-issue. The exception being cases where she has a DoT applied on her before any regen effects (end of turn effects trigger from oldest to youngest in terms of application).

Key Upgrades: Design +1, Skill Potential 3, DMG Upgrades add up.
