Overview

Vanessa is a 4★ Flame adventurer with a kit geared towards offense. Her two attack Skills and Force Strike bonus Ability make her a powerful pick. Though lacking the agility of blades or daggers, Vanessa still shines with a brutal Force Strike style that will heavily chunk the Overdrive bar. However, as someone without any damage mitigation, Vanessa must rely on dodging and her teammates to stay alive on the front lines. 

New mana spirals have granted Vanessa some new toys, namely knockback immunity and a special Force Strike tied to Skill 1. Scarlet Warrior's effect is best chained after Skill 2's DEF reduction, and Vanessa can play even more towards Last Offense by powering through attacks with Potent Stun Res and knockback immunity. 

Strengths

Powerful AOE

Wide cleaves, a massive force strike radius, axes are designed for taking down groups fast. Vanessa boasts +40% force strikes as well, breaking bosses quickly.

High Damage

Vanessa provides excellent damage thanks to her double damaging skills with good charge rates. Her kit supports either a focus on skill damage, or force strikes.

Weaknesses

Low Defenses

Vanessa’s focus on offense means sacrifices in defense. She has no way to mitigate incoming damage or recovery skills. Her HP is also on the low side for a frontliner, so good dodging is a must.

Needs Team Support

Aside from a defense Co-Ability, Vanessa’s kit is focused solely on damage. Vanessa relies on her teammates for recovery and buffs.

Dragon Recommendations

Gala Mars is the undisputed king of Flame DPS.

Konohana Sakuya greatly enhances both of Vanessa's attack skills. 

Dreadking Rathalos synergizes with Scarlet Warrior-boosted Force Strikes.

Ifrit: A budget 4★ choice, great when fully unbound.

Weapon Recommendations

Budget option: Axe of the Blazing King

Wyrmprint Recommendations

Pair 1

Pair 2

Pair 1: Slot 1 may be flexed between RR and Summer Paladyns. Although Vanessa's kit lacks burn, it's highly likely that one or more of her teammates will maintain high Burn uptime. 

Pair 2: General purpose Axe setup that operates independently of Burn, performing more consistently over longer fights.
