Medusa (Lancer)

Medusa Lancer’s main feature is the high-chance stun built-in to her Noble Phantasm. Coupled with her first skill’s Charm, it enables her to stall male opponents reliably. As her NP is single-target and Quick-type, it allows her to deal an acceptable amount of damage when coupled with her Monstrous Strength skill - though it is nowhere near exceptional due to her Monstrous Strength’s low percentage and low-ish ATK stat. Medusa Lancer also has some defensive capabilities to an extent, through her 3rd skills’ Invincibility and Guts buffs. Her NP upgrade further increases her NP damage, and it now inflicts a Quick resistance debuff on the target, which can help the team to an extent.
Medusa Lancer’s primary flaw, however, is that she lacks any clearly defined role. Though she has her stun, being NP-locked means that she is unable to spam it enough for it to be significant. Additionally, most of her skills lack synergy with each other (and with her NP), which is made even worse by the long cooldowns on her first and third skills. All of these mean that she would be a rather undesirable alternative in most situations.

• High-chance Stun on NP
• Possess survival skills
• Acceptable NP damage
• Decent critical star gain

• Skillset lacks synergy
• Long skill cooldowns
• First skill is somewhat situational
• Subpar skill effects
• Somewhat low ATK stat

Medusa Lancer should be used in stages filled with male Archers, in order to make the most of her 1st skill’s charm. Due to stun’s high chance and her average NP gain, her Noble Phantasm should be kept for crucial turns, where the stun would be most useful. Additionally, due to her skillset, she is unable to provide enough damage on her own, meaning that she’d most likely be used as a secondary damage dealer.

Caress of the Medusa is a Quick-type, single-target damaging Noble Phantasm. It also has a high chance to apply Stun, which is 80% at 100% Overcharge. While it is able to deal a decent amount of damage, it can only be unleashed every so often, meaning that it is generally better to save it for certain turns. Thanks to its high hitcount, this NP is able to generate a decent amount of critical stars. After the NP’s upgrade, its damage becomes rather high, and it also weakens the target against quick cards for 3 turns.

Deals damage to a single target
[Overcharge]Chance to stun the enemy for 1 turn

Alluring Nightingale B
Grants a chance to charm an enemy of the opposite for one turn. While situational, this skill may be very useful under the right conditions - however, even then it is hurt by its long cooldown. As such, this skill should be leveled last, if any.

Monstrous Strength C
Increases her attack for one turn. Though possessing subpar percentage for such a skill, it is still her most reliable one, meaning that it should have leveling priority.

Affection Towards the Beyond A
Grants Medusa a 1-hit Invincibility buff, as well as a one-time Guts buff which lasts for three turns. As only the amount recovered by the Guts scales with skill level, this skill should be leveled second to help the cooldown somewhat.

Priority: 2/3/1

Available from the start
Chance to charm one Opposite Sex enemy for 1 turn.

Increases own attack for 1 turn.
