Spring Veronica

Thanks to Spring Veronica's low base health, she can be properly manipulated to have exactly 40 base HP. With this, she can Ardent Sacrifice any ally to simultaneously activate +4 to all stats from her prf, along with +16/+17 Atk/Spd from double Brazen, in addition to Desperation. She can either be merged to +5 with no dragonflowers or +2 with at least 1.

On attack with an Atk boon, she will hit 74/61 Atk/Spd unbuffed while having Desperation active; an Atk buff will allow her to just one-round +10 +5 DC Idunn, H!Hector, H!Myrrh, and Caineghis without special charge, in addition to any Blue or any Green without heavy Res investment and Wary Fighter.

This build of Spring Veronica is all about OHKO ing opponents, or atleast, one initiate KO.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Weapon Madness Flask, of Halloween L’Arachel is basically a weapon with built-in Fury 3. Which speaks for it’s own, a fitting weapon to easily activate Desperation range, leaving the A skill open for another Fury to make Desperation active in a single round of combat.

Glimmer because of a short 2-turn cooldown count. Veronica can activate this skill at the follow-up attack if in Desperation range and if combined with Heavy Blade, which most of the time secures KOs.

With double Fury 3, in one initiate, she gets -12 damage to herself, which is enough to activate Desperation.

Desperation because if unit’s HP is less than or equal to 75% of total HP, if unit initiates combat, unit can make a follow-up attack before foe can counterattack, so if ever she doesn’t KO in the first hit, she gets to follow-up without the foe counterattacking.

Heavy Blade sacred seal so that every time Veronica initiates combat and in Desperation range, she gets to charge up Glimmer in her follow-up attack.

• Team Recommendations:
- Recommend having a WoM Dancer such as L!Azura, Bridal Ninian to keep Spring Veronica safe when her HP is less than or equal to 50% of total HP.
- Not Eir, or atleast, not Sparkling Boost. Must avoid healing Spring Veronica once in Desperation range.

A heavy debuffer build - mainly used in AR / more clustered maps.

- Assist: Reposition here is purely for getting others out of the way of danger - plus her movement type enables her to move allies over map obstructions such as water or mountains. Skills such as Draw Back or Smite can be used as alternatives
- Special: Glimmer from her kit is used for damage output, however specials like Moonbow can also be used if desired.
- A Skill: In tandem with her prf weapon, Swift Sparrow lets her gain a bonus of +8 to Atk/Spd, as well as +4 to her other stats. This build is mainly meant for her initiating combat, not retaliating when receiving it, so this boost is very effective.
- B Skill: Chill Res is purely for taking down more bulkier opponents through debuffs. Other B Skills such as Seal skills, Null Follow-Up (especially helpful dealing w/ Surtr), or even Wings of Mercy can be used as alternatives.
- C Skill: Def Smoke is great for helping allies such as Bow units or just physical units in general to be able to take down enemies. These smoke skills work especially well in AR w/ the more clustered group of enemies. Can be substituted for Res Smoke if your team is more mage-oriented.
- Seal: Atk Smoke, and alternatively Spd Smoke. These help in debuffing enemies not for your own damage output, but theirs. Greatly helps in reducing threats in maps & increasing survivability.

+Atk -Def IV
When she was revealed many found her lackluster due to her "tome" not working with Desperation, but that's what makes her great! If her tome worked with Desperation, that is all you would see on her, and seeing the same units with the same builds gets really boring to me.

With Attack Speed Push, Atk Wave and her tome she reaches an offensive spread of 67/46, and with Mystic Boost she can keep herself healthy to maintain blasting away her enemies!

Veronica springs in with her new spring outfit. With this she boasts a great offensive spread, but her speed it not always needed. Honestly, I've found that Veronica and very easily OHKO multiple enemies, save the few with monstrous Res stats. Death Blow can easily be swaped out for Swift Sparrow, and Joint Hone Speed for Odd Atk Wave. Really versatile, and a great Bun-Bun
