Is Degenbrecher good?

Degenbrecher's skill, Return to Silence, hits multiple enemies for a huge burst of damage, and because it charges through automatic SP recovery rather than needing to land hits, it builds up consistently even before a fight starts.

Strengths

  • Return to Silence deals huge burst damage to multiple enemies
  • Charges automatically instead of needing to attack first

Profile

Degenbrecher carries the title "The Black Knight". Degenbrecher is a female Caprinae. Her birthday is June 6th, and she stands 182 cm tall. Degenbrecher is voiced by Wu Di in Chinese, Nina-Mercedés Rühl in English, Minami Takayama in Japanese, and Lim Yoon-seon in Korean.

Background

SWO-X: Among Degenbrecher's luggage is a case exclusively for storing her medals.

After making exceedingly short work of her operator exam, the remaining downtime was spent with her enlightening our HR operators as to their significance.

– Knight-Champion of Kazimierz Medal

Black medal of crossed swordbreakers, lying unassumingly in center of case.

Design makes it immediately clear that Kazimierz tailored this champion's medal to her.

She reigned for three straight years and so was given three, but only the first was personally awarded to her by the Grand Knight after usurping the defender.

Which is why she didn't throw it away, and why it's the one artifact of Kazimierz she still carries with her.

"Commemorative enough, barely."

– "Thanks"

Inverted triangle inscribed with Kjerag's holy Mount Karlan.

Not issued by any official organization, rather forged for her by clan head Ratatos at the request of a household under Browntail rule.

Degenbrecher had rescued said household's members from an avalanche.

"This first one was almost ten years ago now.

I know they meant it nicely, and I don't mind how it looks.

But the news spread, and now I get one of these medals from the Tri-Clans any time I do something similar.

The cupboard at home is full of them."

– "The Silverashes' Sword and Shield"

Second medal from the left, sword and shield motif.

All of Karlan Trade knows that those wearing this medal are free to act unimpeded wherever Karlan Trade is concerned.

Initially a pass designed expressly for her by Enciodes, but as soon became apparent, nobody simply overlooks the presence of Degenbrecher.

Its worth these days is instead in gently reminding others that she is affiliated with Karlan Trade.

"One day, I forgot to wear this one. Enciodes went that entire day quieter than usual, then in the end asked if I had any complaints with the company."

– "Kjeragandr's Soldier"

Third medal, honorary decoration issued by the Vine-Bead Court, was worn by Enya herself when she formally became the Saintess.

"This was the biggest protest the Saintess could make back then.

I don't think much in particular about Kjeragandr—at most, I think I'd like to take Her on."

– "10 Years"

To mark ten years of acquaintance, Enciodes rustled up a little gift for her, effectively commemorating her Karlan Trade decennial at the same time.

It may not have been founded when they first met, but the blueprints were already laid out in his heart.

"I didn't even recall what it was commemorating when he gave me this.

A token of thanks, I suppose, but I'm sure he just wanted to let me know that he still remembered the big words he said back when it all began.

Speaking of Kjerag... if you're ever there as a tourist and want to find somewhere quiet, you can ask me."
