Is Esme the Dancer good?

A Barbarian support (the February 2025 fusion) aimed mostly at Hydra and Chimera, where she helps clear several Chimera trials. Earthdancer puts Weaken and Block Buffs on every enemy and cuts their Turn Meters, while Blessing of the Sands gives your team Increase ACC and Increase SPD and wipes enemy buffs.

Whenever she's hit, your highest-ATK ally gets a Turn Meter boost, so a Provoke set on waves or fights full of AoE attacks make the most of it. Her buffs don't last long on their own, so a buff extender helps, and Modo of the Peal adds small upgrades without being required.

Pairs well with: Modo of the Peal.
