Botzu's Quick Evaluation

+ An Archetype that has an interesting attack range, AOE damage and heals on hit
+ Trait: Heals self when she hits an enemy, up to her block count, and hits ALL enemies in range
+ Talent: Gains ASPD when she kills enemies which stacks up quite high
+ A great cornerstone unit and lane holder, especially for her rarity.
+ S1: Great for consistent DPS, when she hits twice she heals on both hits so it can provide quite a bit of sustainability for lane holding
+ S2: significantly reduces her Attack interval, increases ATK and gives bonus damage against enemies with less than 50% hp. This is great for clearing out large waves of enemies and scales well with her talent ASPD boost as she kills enemies.
- Lower than average base ATK so she can have some trouble dealing with high DEF enemies without buffs
- Can't be healed normally

Operator Overview

La Pluma is Tequila’s adopted sister, and most Operators come away with the impression that she’s a complete airhead. (This opinion often changes when they see the giant scythe come out for battle.) While her personality is quiet and dreamy, she was raised amidst the wars of Bolívar, and the only way she knows to stop a fight is to join it. And you’d better believe she’s going to join it, as Rhodes Island’s first 5* Reaper Guard, with more self-sustain and AoE damage than her enemies can handle.

The “Reaper Guard” archetype is something of a cross between an AoE Guard and an Enmity Guard. La Pluma cannot be directly healed by allies, like an Enmity Guard, and she can attack multiple enemies in an AoE. She has an interesting attack range that strikes three grids horizontally in front of her, and she hits all enemies within that range with every attack. Her Trait causes her to recover HP for each enemy that she hits, up to a maximum of her Block count (she has Block-1 at E0 and Block-2 at E1/E2). So, if La Pluma is E0 and she hits three enemies with one swing, she’ll heal herself once (because Block-1). But if she’s E1 and she hits three enemies, she’ll heal herself twice (because at E1 she has Block-2).

La Pluma’s Trait is actually the hardest part of her kit to explain. The rest is quite simple. Her Talent, Into the Groove, increases her ASPD (up to a cap) for each enemy she kills on a given map. With her true AoE attacks and good damage output, this won’t be too difficult to get stacked up most of the time. Her S1, Rapid Slashing, is an automatic Skill that causes her next attack to hit twice for increased damage. And her S2, Reap, reduces her attack interval (and her attacks are already quite quick!) while increasing her ATK. The ATK buff from Reap is increased further if La Pluma is attacking enemies with less than half their HP. Both Skills result not only in increased damage but also increased healing, as dealing multiple hits and attacking faster will trigger La Pluma’s self-healing Trait more often. Her self-sustain and high damage potential make her an excellent cornerstone unit for soloing lanes and holding off enemies without much support (S2 especially makes her a nigh-unkillable damage machine for its duration).

As with Enmity Guards, La Pluma’s biggest weakness is her inability to be directly healed by her allies. While regeneration effects still work on her, La Pluma can be easily overwhelmed by burst DPS that she can’t heal through on her own. Her true-AoE attacks make her good against swarms, but a swarm that survives her attacks can quickly overwhelm her Block count. You have to pay attention to this flighty Liberi to make sure she doesn’t get in over her head… but someone with scythe skills like La Pluma isn’t afraid to cut through most problems on her own.

Newbie Tier List Explanation

A great cornerstone, lane-holder, and solo Operator that already functions great at E1 and has E2 and late-game potential. Not being able to be healed directly might create a learning curve for newer players, but shouldn't be a huge problem because of her strong self-sustain potential, especially against the weaker enemies of early game. She's a great option for handling the early game swarm stages to avoid needing to develop one of the overall weaker AoE Archetypes like AoE Casters.

La Pluma has two very good skills, and the choice between them is not an easy one, so prepare yourself for the full M6 investment. Her skills occupy the fairly typical "consistent vs burst" divide. This guide typically favors the burst skills in these situations, but in La Pluma's case, the gap is much narrower. On top of that, both have extremely strong Masteries (among the best in the game), so most people using La Pluma will definitely want to Master both.

Her S2 is probably the better starting point. It has an eye-watering 37% increase in DPS over Mastery (most skills average only about 15-20%), and the interval reduction also adds a huge amount to her sustain. However, her S1 is no less strong. In addition to many people preferring consistent skills to begin with, it also tackles armor better, works extremely well with various IS relics, and sustains herself better on average. Owing to her lack of external sustain, S2's downtime can often be extremely dangerous, so S1 is favored in blind runs. Its Masteries aren't quite as insane as S2, but are still well above average.

La Pluma is not a mandatory unit. There are so many strong 6★ Cornerstone units these days that she may struggle to find a role on stronger teams. However, should you lack those options (or simply not want to use them), then La Pluma has some of the highest priority 5★ Masteries out there.

Profile

The daughter of a True Bolívarians lieutenant. After her father's death, she was adopted by her father's comrade-in-arms, Pancho, became his adopted daughter, and moved to Dossoles with him.
After the Dossoles incident, she came to Rhodes Island along with Tequila. Due to her special identity, she was finally allowed to join Rhodes Island following a review.

A Liberi woman who seems rather spaced out.
She rarely expresses her wants, seldom takes the initiative to talk to others, and through her daily interactions, gives off the impression of being rather air-headed. As such, when she first joined, some operators assumed that HR had made a mistake, but this misunderstanding will generally be dispelled after seeing her in battle.
In combat, La Pluma displays a concentration that seems completely at odds with her normal air-headedness, carries out the commander's orders on the battlefield absolutely and without fail, and successfully achieves them most of the time. The stark contrast between this side of her and her normal demeanor has left a deep impression upon many a squad leader who had taken her on a mission.

La Pluma's real name is Rafaela Silva, and her father was Pancho's comrade-in-arms. Due to her mother's early death and the lax discipline of the True Bolívarians, she followed her father and grew up in the military. Because of her docile and charming personality, many of the soldiers saw her as their shining jewel.
The True Bolívarans is an independent government established by the locals to resist the coalition government and the Singas government. From Dobermann's perspective, their army is extremely rugged, but lacks clear organization and discipline. La Pluma grew up in this environment that emphasized the values of loyalty and rapport, and setting aside the big picture, she should've been quite happy - if not for the battle that claimed the lives of her father as well as three thousand other soldiers.
In regards to the specific details surrounding that battle, Pancho did not want to mention any more about it to La Pluma and Tequila, as they were not firsthand witnesses. Furthermore, Dobermann was still a part of the coalition government at the time. The three concurrent governments of Bolívar were not unified in their intelligence and they all regulated the relevant information as it could easily be used to discredit them. Therefore, it is difficult for us to collect accurate information. From the accounts of two individuals in tandem with the intelligence gathered by Tequila, we suspect that this episode was carried out to persecute Pancho, one of the heads of the True Bolívarians's hawkish faction at the time, and this persecution cost the lives of three thousand innocent soldiers.

We were surprised that someone as young as La Pluma would enlist in such a plan when she has virtually no knowledge of Bolívar's domestic affairs. This inevitably reflects poorly upon Tequila as well as her surrogate father, Pancho.
Of course, this is hardly true in reality.
From the beginning, both Tequila and Pancho believed that La Pluma should be kept away from the conflict, so at least after they came to Dossoles, they chose to conduct their activities without La Pluma. However, as the three of them were still family, La Pluma would eventually discover all of these activities.
According to La Pluma's own account, she gave them the cold shoulder for two weeks until they agreed to let her join. According to Tequila, this outcome was the result of his deliberation, followed by days of pleading Pancho.
After all, as La Pluma's sworn brother, he knew that although his sister was obedient, her obedience was built on what she perceived as a mutually trusting relationship. She is willing to obey the words of those she relies on, but at the same time, she is unwilling to accept being excluded even if the other party was acting out of good intentions; even moreso if they were acting on good intentions, she would reject that even more. For her, sharing both happiness and hardship are most important than anything else, a mindset that may also be related to her childhood and her experiences becoming Pancho's adopted daughter.
Of course, since she chose to join the plan, we can't ignore her status as a rebel against the Dossoles City government. Setting aside the fact that ignorance is no justification for her actions, if she simply sees her family ties as the sole criteria for the actions she takes, then she is perhaps even more terrifying than Tequila, who has full knowledge of what he is doing.
La Pluma is aware of this, and though she is kind-hearted, she has even stronger convictions in her views of Pancho's actions than Tequila. As a youth who grew up amidst the flames of war, she has not seen fewer wars than Tequila, and her views of war may not even necessarily be shallower than his. In fact, even Dobermann said that the youth of Bolívar notwithstanding, even she did not know how to stop war except with more war, until she left Bolívar.
For a young woman like La Pluma, the way Pancho did things was perfectly normal. Rather, we should see Tequila's ideology, which has become shaky as a result of Candela's influence, as an outlier.
Rhodes Island has no right or authority to weigh in on the political situation of Bolívar, nor does it intend to judge whether Candela or Pancho is correct. We can only learn what is truly happening in that land from the people of Bolívar.
Perhaps nobody can cast that judgment, and only time will provide an answer.

The Pancho described by La Pluma is quite different from the person in the records obtained from local areas by the Dossoles City Office, as well as from Ch'en's and Tequila's accounts.
It portrays the image of an elderly father who cares deeply about his son and daughter, but does not know how to express it.
With no outsiders around, La Pluma likes to snuggle up to Pancho's side and ask him many questions. At these times, Pancho will pat her head while slowly explaining that she may not yet understand these things. She is willing to listen nevertheless, and these moments have become some of her most treasured.
Furthermore, in conversations with the Doctor, La Pluma has mentioned more than once Pancho's disappointment as well as pride in both Tequila and himself.
He is disappointed that as his son continues to work under Mayor Candela, his ideals inevitably become tainted, and he can see his son wavering.
However, he is proud that his son has undoubtedly matured and is doing well in all aspects, and feels happy from the bottom of his heart when others mention how his son is doing.
He even said that he actually hoped for Tequila and La Pluma to leave Dossoles before he began his plan, so that no matter what happened to Dossoles, his two children would have nothing to do with it.
Of course, he may have never said these words to Tequila, or Tequila might have not taken such words seriously. Such is the nature of the father-and-son relationship. Inadvertently, they've become strangers who know each other better than anyone else.
Originally, La Pluma didn't plan to leave Dossoles with Tequila, wanting to stay behind to look after Pancho. Only when Pancho told her to leave did she decide to go with Tequila, though the relationship between the two siblings has become strained as a result of Pancho's affairs.
There's not much we can do about this, since family affairs tend to be complicated and peoples' rationales can be convoluted. However, her closeness with the Doctor may yet be a good first step. After all, since we accepted her as one of her own here at Rhodes Island, she also hopes to find a new life as well as her own path.

Promotion Record

Upgrade to Elite LV2.
When not on a mission, La Pluma often heads to the ship's bar - but she goes there not to indulge in drinks, but to mix them.
While in Dossoles, La Pluma worked as a bartender at a small bar, and she brought her craft over to Rhodes Island.
As the intersection between the three cultures of Bolívar, Leithanien, and Columbia, Dossoles has provided a variety of rich experiences for La Pluma as she honed her craft, and her bartending has reached quite a high level.
Furthermore, La Pluma's taciturn nature may normally seem like a character flaw, but as a bartender, the same trait unexpectedly makes her become a good listener. After all, people who want someone to talk to often aren't looking for answer, but sometimes just want to listen to themselves.
All of this has gradually made La Pluma more popular with the aficionados and drunkards among operators. Whenever she takes on her role behind the bar, the evening at Rhodes Island is guaranteed to be livelier.
