Rosetta: Arete is a S Rank Construct of the brand new Breaker class and deals Dark Elemental Damage and Ultima Slash Affix damage to enemies. She specializes in dealing amazing Dark QTE damage to enemies and reducing their super armor extremely quickly in Dark Elemental Teams and becoming a main on field DPS character that deals massive amounts of Ultima Slash Affix damage to enemies on the field.

Punishing Gray Raven Rosetta: Arete

Rosetta: Arete’s gameplay changes depending on which team is a part of, with her main role switching between off-field and on-field.

In a Dark team, Rosetta: Arete’s main role will be shredding enemies Dark resistances and Super Armor with her amazing off field QTEs effects. One of the perks of the brand new Breaker class as well is that Rosetta: Arete has access to a brand new mechanic: Rechargeable QTE, meaning players can use her QTE multiple times in a damage window, allowing her to both deal massive amount of damage while also keeping up the Dark Element resistance reduction effect longer in Dark team when she is off field.

For the Ultima Slash team, she focuses on being an on-field DPS character with the ability to quickly consume her Orbs and 3-pings to deal constant damage to enemies and have the ability to drag enemies around, dealing constant Dark Elemental or Ultimate Slash Affix Damage to them. She serves as a replacement for Vergil as the Ultima Slash team’s main DPS option if players missed the DMC Collaboration event.

This team is Rosetta: Arete’s go to Dark team, with her fitting into 2 different roles: either as an off field QTE bot or an on field Dark DPS character. In the Dark Team, since both Rosetta: Arete and Bianca: Crepuscule damage output are generally at the same level, the main difference between the two players should be taken into account is their investment level. If players have a better invested Bianca: Crepuscule, use Rosetta: Arete as a QTE off field Sub DPS, otherwise, use Rosetta: Arete as the team’s main DPS and adjust Rosetta: Arete’s build accordingly. Lilith serves as another of the team’s strong DPS options but should serve more as a switch in sub DPS sustain character rather than the team’s main DPS.

Hanying: SolacetuneVeronica: AegisRosetta: Arete

Unlike the Dark Team, the Ultima Slash team revolves around having Rosetta: Crepuscule as the team’s main DPS option, with Hanying: Solacetune serving as the team’s sub DPS option and Veronica: Aegis as the team’s support ability to boost the team’s overall damage output since Ultima Slash gain benefits from Physical boosting effects.

A character that can support, sustain and even out damage the main DPS option of the Dark Team, Rosetta: Arete promises to be an extremely powerful character that can shake up the game’s meta as the game’s first ever Breaker class character.
