"Operator, Aciddrop. This skateboard is registered equipment. Mm, if there are any problems just leave them to me."

-------------

In the stadiums within Columbia's cities, streets, and countrysides, there are always teens enthusiastic about things different from the materialistic city culture. Of course, Miss Aciddrop is not a representative of street culture, but she's definitely one of the leading ones. From the first time she picked up a skateboard to winning consecutive skateboarding championships, to running from an old cop for several blocks then ending up eating donuts at the same table together, Miss Aciddrop's life is filled with the scent of youth and freedom. But the chaotic law enforcement conflicted with Miss Aciddrop's strong sense of justice, and Miss Aciddrop who unfortunately contracted oripathy had to leave that beautiful little world and seek treatment at Rhodes Island.

-------------

Aciddrop is a 4★ Close-Range Sniper that focuses on DPS and has abilities to increase her minimum damage, useful against high DEF targets.

First Impressions

Note: These are first impressions and based on conjecture since we don’t know the exact details. 

Close Range Snipers are typically built for DPS, and Aciddrop is no different.  Both skills are straight-forward DPS increasers, with S1 increasing ASPD, and S2 increasing ATK and dealing double-hit attacks.  Her unique aspect is her Talent, which increases the amount of minimum damage she deals with her attacks.  We can guess that it might be similar to Projekt Red's Talent:

Minimum damage is useful against enemies with high DEF, where the DEF of the enemy is higher than the ATK of the attacking Operator (See here for more math).  Close Range Snipers already have some of the highest ATK stats in the game, and Schwarz, the 6* Close Range Sniper, already has anti-DEF tools in her kit, so it seems unlikely that Aciddrop will provide reason to use her over her higher-rarity counterparts.  If Close-Range Snipers have avoided you up until this point, though, she represents a more accessible option to this archetype.  Ultimately, her potential will depend on the exact numbers of her Talent, and any opportunities where it may be able to shine.
