Skills Overview

Basic Attack - My Sword Zaps Demons

Deals Imaginary DMG equal to 50%—110% of March 7th's ATK to a single enemy and gains 1 point(s) of Charge.

Basic Attack - Brows Be Smitten, Heart Be Bitten

Initially, deals 3 hits, each causing Imaginary DMG equal to 40%—88% of March 7th's ATK to a single target enemy. After dealing the final hit, there is a 60% fixed chance to deal 1 extra hit, up to a max of 3 extra hit(s).

  • Energy regenerated from using Enhanced Basic ATK does not increase with the number of hits.
  • Enhanced Basic ATK cannot recover Skill Points.

Skill - Master, It's Tea Time!

Designates a single ally (excluding this unit) as Shifu and increases Shifu's SPD by 6%—10.8%. Only the most recent target of March 7th's Skill is considered as Shifu.

When using Basic ATK or dealing 1 hit of Enhanced Basic ATK's DMG, triggers the corresponding effect based on the specific Path of Shifu:

Erudition, Destruction, The Hunt: Deals Additional DMG (DMG Type based on Shifu's Combat Type) equal to 10%—22% of March 7th's ATK.
Harmony, Nihility, Preservation, Abundance: Increases the Toughness Reduction of this instance of DMG by 100%.

Ultimate - March 7th, the Apex Heroine

Deals Imaginary DMG equal to 144%—259.2% of March 7th's ATK to a single target enemy.
Increases the initial Hits Per Action of the next Enhanced Basic ATK by 2 hits and increase the fixed chance of additionally dealing DMG by 20%.

Talent - Master, I've Ascended!

After Shifu uses an attack or Ultimate, March 7th gains up to 1 point of Charge each time.
Upon reaching 7 or more points of Charge, March 7th immediately takes action and increases the DMG she deals by 40%—88%. Her Basic ATK gets Enhanced, and her Skill cannot be used. After using Enhanced Basic ATK, consumes 7 point(s) of Charge. Charge is capped at 10 points.

Technique - Feast in One Go

If March 7th is on the team, she gains 1 point of Charge at the start of the next battle whenever an ally uses Technique, up to a max of 3 point(s).
After using Technique, March 7th regenerates 30 Energy when the next battle starts.

Ascension 2 - Swan Soar

When the battle starts, March 7th's action is Advanced Forward by 25%.

Ascension 4 - Filigree

March 7th can reduce the Toughness of enemies whose Weakness Type is the same as Shifu's Combat Type. When Breaking Weakness, triggers the Imaginary Weakness Break effect.

Ascension 6 - Tide Tamer

After using Enhanced Basic ATK, increases Shifu's CRIT DMG by 60% and Break Effect by 36%, lasting for 2 turn(s).

TLDR

March 7th's new kit just screams Sub-DPS (if that Shifu thing does not ring a bell yet). Regardless, she's a good FREE Sub-DPS. There's a lot to understand so let's go bit by bit.

First of all, her Basic ATK and Enhanced Basic ATK.
- Her Basic ATK deals Imaginary DMG and gains 1 Charge.
- Her Enhanced Basic ATK deals 3 hits of Imaginary DMG (+ another 3 hit if you're lucky). In a way, this is her main damage output.

There are golden and pink tea on top of each character. The golden one refers to Hunt/Destruction/Erudition, while the pink one refers to Harmony/Nihility/Preservation/Abundance.

Now for her Skill. March's new Skill allows her to designate an ally as her Shifu (or Master), boosting the Shifu's SPD by 10% and providing different buffs for her enhanced Basic ATK based on the Shifu's path.

If the Shifu is from DPS (Hunt / Destruction / Erudition), it will boost her own damage - remember that it's only for her Basic and Enhanced Basic ATK. This team is ideal for the Crit build for March.
If the Shifu is from other paths like Harmony / Nihility / Preservation / Abundance, it will increase her Toughness DMG. This team is ideal for the Break build for March.

Now regarding her Ultimate, it's also similar to Basic ATK where it deals Imaginary DMG. The key point here is how it will increase the initial Hits Per Action of the next Enhanced Basic ATK by 2 hits and increase the chance to deal additional DMG. In short, the Ultimate will BOOST her next Enhanced Basic ATK.

There's a lot of 'Enhanced Basic ATK' and as I mentioned before, it's her main damage output. How to change from Basic ATK to Enhanced Basic ATK? This is where her Talent comes in. To get Enhanced Basic ATK, it's simple, gain 7 Charges and March will automatically consume those stacks to take action and you can use the Enhanced Basic ATK. How to gain Charge:
(1) March 7th Basic ATK
(2) Shifu uses any attack or Ultimate
