Pirate Veronica

Preferred IV: +ATK

• With her primary role being that of an offensive unit and having a weapon that guarantees follow-up attacks, Attack is the key stat that Veronica appreciates an asset in. 

Weapon: Gate-Anchor Axe

Assist: Reposition

Special: Galeforce / Luna / Ignis

• Veronica’s weapon naturally pairs well with Galeforce.
• As a purely damage-dealing alternative, one can choose to run damage-dealing Specials such as Luna or Ignis. 

Passive A: Atk/Def Solo 4 / Heavy Blade 4  

• Veronica’s native Atk/Def Solo 4 grants Veronica a significant boost to her key stats in Attack and Defense with a condition that synergizes with her personal weapon. 
• Heavy Blade 4 can be a strong choice when running Galeforce. In addition to accelerating Veronica’s Special cooldown, it also grants a boost of up to 5 true damage per hit depending on how much Attack she has over her opponent.

Passive B: Lull Atk/Def / Wings of Mercy / Lunge

• Lull Atk/Def is a very strong B slot option that not only neutralizes the foe’s bonuses in those given stats but also inflicts an additional -3 in combat to each.

• [Galeforce] Wings is Mercy is extremely useful for moving around the map, as it allows you to move adjacent to any ally under 50% HP. This is especially effective when running Veronica alongside other Galeforce units in order to take out as many opponents in one turn as possible.
• Swapping her and the foe’s position allows Veronica to run through a unit in the way of a choke point and separate that unit from their support, making it a strong option for Aether Raids defense. This also applies to units choking points in Resonant Battles. 

Passive C: Panic Smoke / Pulse Smoke / Flexible 

• Panic Smoke and Pulse Smoke make for particularly effective C slot options on an AR D team. Panic Smoke punishes foes for using in combat buffs against Veronica and the rest of her team by inflicting Panic on the target as well as any nearby allies. Pulse Smoke resets the cooldown of a foe’s Special after combat, making it an effective tool in stopping Galeforce strategies.

• The C slot can otherwise be replaced as needed to suit the team. 

Sacred Seal: Death Blow / Sturdy Blow / Heavy Blade

• Any Player Phase boost to Veronica’s key stats such as Death Blow and Sturdy Blow are great Sacred Seal options. 

• If not already being utilized in the A slot, the Heavy Blade Sacred Seal can be run in order to accelerate Veronica’s Special cooldown.
