Is Ellen Joe good?
An Ice attacker who plays on-field, spending Flash Freeze charges on enhanced Basic Attacks that deal Ice damage in and out of stuns. Her Roaming dash makes her one of the fastest agents, and her kit mixes self-buffs, invulnerability and parries with wide AoE and enemy grouping that suit almost any fight.
With so many combos she takes more practice than most damage dealers, and her long Chain Attack can crowd a stun window.
Strengths
- Easy-to-access Ice damage
- Fast, with self-buffs, invulnerability and parries
- Wide AoE and grouping
Weaknesses
- Harder to pilot than most attackers
- Long Chain Attack eats stun time

Stories
3Agent Profile: Ellen
Ellen is a maid working for Victoria Housekeeping Co. and its latest member.
She is a laid-back individual who dislikes activities that require energy. However, with the full support of her teammates, she can unleash her formidable power during critical moments.
Since her fighting style leads to high energy consumption, she always carries a lollipop in her mouth to ensure an adequate sugar intake.
While she frequently expresses her desire to change jobs due to the hassle, she genuinely values her companions at Victoria Housekeeping.
Ellen attends a school in New Eridu and has a group of ordinary friends.
Apart from her role as a maid at Victoria Housekeeping, Ellen spends a significant amount of time with her friends, leading an ordinary and contented student life.
Thoughts: As a multitasker, Ellen must balance her student life with her job at Victoria Housekeeping Co.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why she often feels tired?

Ellen appears to possess a unique sense of taste that differs from that of ordinary people. Her teammate Rina consistently prepares various "whimsical" dishes, and Ellen is the only one who can consume them without breaking a sweat.
Suggestion: Perhaps you could also sample Rina's dishes. I will compare your reaction with Ellen's to gather more significant data.
Cooperation Notes
Belle
I was somewhat surprised to see Ellen in her school uniform… For her, working in Victoria Housekeeping is something like a part-time job outside school, right? That’s impressive!

In a way, we're also working a part-time job, Belle…
