Unlock Priority: Highest
Core Skill, Additional Ability & Potential
Reason: Promeia’s main gimmick that players should level up as high as possible to max out her Abloom and Attribute Anomaly damage output.

Promeia’s skill kit revolves around dealing constant Basic and Skill Attacks to enemies to quickly raise the enemies’ Anomaly Gauge and trigger the Ice Anomaly effect on them, dealing massive amounts of damage. Additionally, her skill kit revolves around the Frostbite stacks and Frost Sentence Effect.

When attacking enemies with her attacks, Promeia will recover Frostbite stacks for herself and gain additional Frostbite stacks on herself when her or her allies trigger various Attribute Anomaly effects on enemies. Upon accumulating 50 Frostbite stacks, she can convert them into 1 Frost Sentence Stack, up to 2 stacks.

When dealing damage to enemies, if they are already inflicted with the Anomaly Attribute effects of other elements, Promeia is able to spend 1 Frost Sentence to trigger Abloom on the enemies, dealing powerful damage to them and recovering Decibels for herself. While doing her combo, Promeia can follow up certain abilities with her special EX Attack, performing various powerful tricks depending on which abilities she followed up.

Promeia is essentially yet another Anomaly character for the game with the ability to quickly raise the enemies Anomaly Attribute gauge and trigger powerful damage to enemies. She is able to deal powerful Anomaly effects to enemies in addition to triggering Abloom.

As an Anomaly Main DPS Character, Promeia wants W-Engines that can boost her overall Critical and Anomaly Stats in addition to providing her benefits when Anomaly Effects are triggered.
