Is Berenica good?

Berenica dashes around the battlefield with Faintlight, chaining hits together while restoring her own Sanity as she goes. Switching to Netherflames swaps in her Consonance Weapon, letting her fire ranged Swordwaves while immune to hitstun and safely out of melee range.

She's free to unlock and serviceable early, but her real jump in power comes at Intron 7, where a new Overflow mechanic and stat stacking push her damage up a tier, especially alongside Fina.

Pairs well with: Phoxhunter; Truffle; Filbert; Fina; Fushu.

Strengths

  • High mobility from her dash skill, Faintlight
  • Restores her own Sanity while attacking
  • Hitstun immune while her Consonance Weapon is out
  • Free to unlock, with a big damage jump at Intron 7

Weaknesses

  • Doesn't improve much before reaching Intron 7

Background

She lives with the Phoxhunter in a village on Purgatorio Island.

The two have depended on one another since childhood, regarding each other as family closer than blood.

Referred to by the Hyperborean military as "No.

0," she has long been the subject of an ongoing manhunt.

Following a confrontation with Sibylle, her current whereabouts are unknown.
