Player notes
Simona is a Legendary Watcher tagged with Iria, Union, SoC. In practical terms they cover healing, Act Again, and battery / buff enable. Popular Iria caster/support flex for many early accounts.
Build according to account holes—damage if you lack AoE, support if you lack heals.
In the role triangle, lean on free damage into Destroyers. Stars and gear still matter more than matchup alone on hard maps.
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.

- Trinket — Focus Lens: Crit lens for physical carries mid-game. Best when universal crit budget piece — highest build count in the DB.

Team plan
Build the party around Simona as the enabler: one primary DPS (Seeker/Breaker/Destroyer), one frontline Defender, then flex for matchups or faction auras (Iria / Union). Feed Act Again and NRG into the carry first.
- Open with Winter Doomsday when the board allows a clean cast.
- Keep reaction (Priority and Details Iceshards) online—do not strip it for vanity actives mid-fight.
- Basic attack (Ice-made Sword) is for reposition turns or when NRG is dry.
- Spend the first enable on your invested carry, not a half-built flex unit.
