Shorekeeper is a 5-star Resonator of the Spectro element that wields a rectifier as her main weapon. She serves as one of the game’s strongest Support characters, with the ability to buff the entire team with immensely potent offensive and defensive buffs in addition to providing massive amounts of healing based on her own energy regen and hp stat. She works as an amazing generic support sustain character for any team.

Unlock Priority: Highest
Inherent Skill 2
Reason: An incredible Inherent skill that boost Shorekeeper’s much needed Energy regen when her zone is up, lessening her stat requirement.

Shorekeeper playstyle is quite simple as she serves mainly as a quick on field character to set up her buffs for the entire team before switching off the field quickly to allow the main DPS of the team to deal good damage to enemies.

Shorekeeper combo starts when she takes the field using her intro skill, allowing her to heal all allies when she takes the field and summon 5 butterflies that continuously attack enemies. While on the field, using Shorekeeper’s basic attacks to constantly generate Forte Gauge energy for herself and allow her to deal Spectro damage to enemies. Once her Forte Gauge energy is full, hold her Basic Attack to convert Forte energy into 5 butterflies that constantly deal Spectro damage to enemies and recovers her Resonance Liberation energy. During this time, players can also use her Resonance Skill to heal all allies and summon more butterflies. 

Upon gaining enough Resonance Liberation energy, unleashing the Resonance Liberation will allow Shorekeeper to set up a special buff zone that lasts even when she is off the field. Once set up, immediately switches Shorekeeper out with her outro skill granting the upcoming Resonator extra damage boost and both critical rate and critical damage increase when they activate their Intro skill when under her zone’s effects, massively boosting the main DPS and the team’s overall damage output as long as her zone is active.

As a pure support character whose main important stat is Energy Regen, Shorekeeper wants weapons that massively boost her Energy Regen stat while also offer good buffs to allies.

As one of the game’s most powerful generic support and sustain option, Shorekeeper can practically be included in any team that scales off Critical Rate and Critical Damage and need healing on their kit, with her buffs being extremely beneficial to almost all teams in the game.
