Is Spiral good?
Spiral builds Fervor by avoiding repeated actions, which boosts the chance her weapon attacks inflict Ruptures, and stacking those Ruptures quickly is key since her Special Attacks scale their Attack Rating off however many are on the opponent. Her Dancing Blades hover nearby for passive benefits after every Special Attack and can be fired at range, and while Blocking she can Destroy certain Buffs off the opponent and replace them with Rubble Buffs, even from a distance using those same Blades.
Tempo loss and Debuff disruption are the main things that trip her up, which puts her at A.
Strengths
- Fervor from varying her actions boosts Rupture infliction, and Special Attacks scale off Rupture count
- Dancing Blades give passive benefits and can be fired at range
- Can Destroy the opponent's Buffs while Blocking, even at range
Weaknesses
- Losing tempo hurts her flow
- Debuff disruption works against her
