The Gaijin-GFY Linksmate-exclusive SSR character was officially released today as the MVNO service goes online in Japan today.

(Below are the stats at Lv80)

Passives

Forsaken Fangs : Deals extra 10% echo damage against a foe affected by Stared Stiff

: Deals extra 10% echo damage against a foe affected by Snake Eye Princess: Immune to Petrify effect

How Stared Stiff works:

Increase damage taken by the enemy by 10% (Does not break damage cap)

50% chance to prevent the foe from performing any action (other than HP triggers) Enemy would still gain diamond on non-action similar to Cham

Prevent the enemy from using any full-charge attack while under this effect Unlike Charm, it doesn’t reset the diamond bar when the enemy fails to use its full-charge attack

Not affected by ‘Debuff success rate up’ effects (Similar to Song’s Death) Its accuracy can still be improved by any ‘Debuff resist down’ debuff on the enemy (e.g. Pilfer, Thor’s call effect)

(Similar to Song’s Death)

As expected of a promotion character, Medusa’s kit is not particularly impressive. While Stared Stiff is a powerful debuff, its duration in most cases is very short and her main way to apply it has a poor base hit rate. Her skills also have some relatively long downtime, making her a poor choice for longer fights.

However, her 2-turn guaranteed TA and 4-time retaliation might come in handy in some short fights like the EX+ stage in Guild War.

But…despite these weaknesses, she is still considered CORE in Earth.

Why? Because she is CUTE AF.
