- Omen of Death is a massive power spike at Rank 7+
- Hidden Thorn ignores Assisting Cover
- Alacrity aura via Perfect Assassin
How to use
Only take fights you can finish. Preview damage without crit—then still account for crit overkill. Path to the rear arc, spend Wipe Out, chain Act Again into the next kill. Rank 7 Omen of Death (NRG on any kill + Feverish Beast stacks) is when she stops being 'good' and becomes oppressive. Mask for invis approaches when the backline is gated.
Star priority: 3★ → 5★ (Act Again frequency). Rank 7 passive is non-negotiable long-term

Priority stars are SoC Wiki recommendations for general PvE. NRG/CD values are approximate guide bands—confirm in-game for patches.
| Skill | Type | NRG | CD | Priority | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Omen of Death | Passive | — | — | ★★★★★ | Rank 7 spike — NRG on kills + Feverish Beast stacks Restores NRG when any unit dies and stacks crit/lifesteal style buffs (Feverish Beast). Mandatory passive once unlocked—this is her real kit. |
| Wipe Out | Active | 3 | 0–1 | ★★★★★ | High damage + Ignore Assist; Dodge on kill Primary finisher. Ignore Assist solves her classic weakness into covered carries. Kill → Act Again → next target. |
| Eerie Footwork | Reaction | — | — | ★★★★★ | Best general reaction — Dodge oriented Default reaction for most content. Keeps her alive when a plan slightly fails mid-dive. |
| Hidden Thorn | Basic | 0 | — | ★★★★★ | Basic that ignores Assisting Cover Essential into cover-heavy maps. Prefer over Critical Strike basics whenever Assist Cover is present. |
| Perfect Assassin | Aura | — | — | ★★★★★ | Alacrity leader aura — crit package Slot in Alacrity comps. Crit rate/crit damage alignment is perfect for her trait loop. |
| Mask | Active | 2 | 2–3 | ★★★★★ | Invisibility + crit up for approach turns Situational but game-winning when the path to the backline is blocked by threat. |
| Ambush | Active | 2 | 1 | ★★★★★ | Bonus damage vs unharmed targets Optional opener for full-HP priority targets. Often replaced by Wipe Out in mature builds. |
