Player notes
Beryl is a Legendary Destroyer tagged with Papal States, Drifter, SoC. In practical terms they cover magical damage, DoT, and multi-target pressure. Magic Destroyer with strong multi-target tools and classic mid-game damage identity.
Park her on open maps with NRG support; prioritize AoE nodes on the skill tree.
Watch the magic lane carefully—Destroyers pressure with magic/DoT but are soft into Watcher matchups. Pair them with a physical flex when the enemy Watcher count spikes.
Star plan on this page (“See guide”) is a budgeting hint: finish the first power spike that stabilizes clears, then reassess against your enabler and main carry before dumping every shard here.
