Test out your luck for this banner on our:[Dancing Lava] Summon Simulator!

Yes. Eyjafjalla and Specter are both tremendously powerful Operators: Eyjafjalla is an amazing DPS Caster, and Specter’s ability to ignore death makes her the only viable “tank” for certain bosses. Provence is the weakest of the three, and she can still be a terrifying bosskiller when set up appropriately.

Even if you’re not interested in this banner (or if you spent all your resources pulling for Schwarz), you may want to do Headhunt x1 until you pull a 5★ or higher Operator, since one is guaranteed in the first 10 rolls.

ST Caster

+ Burns everything

+ Moonlights as an AoE Caster, but still has the DP cost/ attack speed of a ST Caster

+ Powers up other allied Casters

- Uh…

Close Range Sniper

+ Massive ST DPS

- Tricky to set up properly

- Reaching maximum DPS is RNG-dependent

AoE Guard

+ Block-3 at E2-promotion (and attacks that many enemies at once)

+ High DPS

+ Laughs off death with Skill 2

= Her Skill 2 Stuns her when its duration finishes (this sometimes helps her not to die if she’s taken lethal damage during the Skill usage, which is why it’s not always a negative)

- Takes a lot of investment

Eyjafjalla wishes that all conflict in the world would end, and she’s ready to incinerate anything that might stand in the way of this goal. The incredible power and range of her Skills makes her a mistress of AoE damage as well as single-target damage, all in one adorable package. Beware the cute ones, especially when they own pet lambs made out of fire!

There are a lot of conditions to using Provence. She only does full damage to targets who are under 80% HP and standing directly in front of her, and even then she still needs her chance-based Talent to activate. However, even meeting the first of these criteria will result in a lot of damage, and when all three align… well, let’s just say whatever she hits won’t have much time to bemoan their bad luck!

I don’t know who gave Specter that buzzsaw, but I wouldn’t like to be the one trying to take it away from her. Physics be damned, Specter wields her horror-movie weapon to cut bloody swathes through hordes of enemies at once. And if she happens to get low on health, she’ll spit in the face of mortality as well, using her Skill 2 to stay alive no matter how much damage her enemies inflict on her.
