Is Promeia good?

An Ice Anomaly agent who loops Ablooms back to back: her attacks fill Corrosive Chill, every 50 becomes a Trial by Cold point, and her EX Special spends points on big Abloom hits. She also buffs the whole squad's Ablooms, so she works as a main damage dealer or a pseudo-support, and she's easy to gear.

Ice Anomaly is often resisted and half-DEF bosses are common, she needs teammates to feed Disorder and Ablooms, and fast stuns leave her short of Corrosive Chill.

Strengths

  • Strong numbers in and out of stun
  • Team-wide Abloom buffs
  • Flexible, forgiving gearing

Weaknesses

  • Few fights suit Ice Anomaly
  • Relies on teammates for resources
  • Resources run short when stuns come fast

Background

I've been prepared to crash and burn for a long time now.

is a playable Agent in Zenless Zone Zero, and one of the Judges of Krampus Compliance Authority.

"No way, no way, absolutely not! She's an icy storm you don't wanna mess with.

If we don't bail now, we'll be toast... Hey!

Stop, my life's plenty precious, you know!"

Cissia

"A little secret: Contrary to what you think, she's not quite...

Whoops, almost spilled the beans there. This isn't free intel, y'know."

Zhao

"Miss, would you like to order a teamilk...?

Ah! S—Sorry, I didn't notice your, your h—h—hands..."

Coco, scrambling to explain herself while doing her routine pitch for their signature drinks

COCO

"Unleash them! Show everyone your fangs, your true nature...

my 'old friend.'"

Words uttered from sharp fangs beneath an iron mask in the Hollows, followed by a cold, arrogant laugh

UNKNOWN

Promeia

"Moths are destined to fade away in a lightless night...

but I don't see that as tragic."

"I'm waiting... for judgment."

"Death isn't my enemy, it's... my salvation."

This expert's kind of cold!

A Judge who works hard deserves a reward.

A heavy soul, humming softly as it drifts upward.

The description of Promeia's Character Teaser is an excerpt from Shakespeare's Hamlet, specifically in Act 3, Scene 1: "And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, and lose the name of action."

Etymology

Given her Core Passive: Thief of Flames references the theft of fire, Promeia is an allusion to Prometheus, the titan in ancient Greek mythology who stole fire from Olympus and gifted it to humanity.

Details

Promeia, a Judge of the Krampus Compliance Authority, is primarily responsible for carrying out "executions." Unlike the other Judges in Krampus, each with their own strong personalities, Promeia feels more like an iceberg lurking beneath the surface. Quiet and reserved, she seems to have no personal interests or hobbies. For the majority within the TOPS Alliance, avoiding any involvement with her is a given. If their misdeeds are exposed and they end up under Krampus scrutiny, the first thing those anxious rulebreakers pray for is that Promeia won't be handling their case. There's a rumor that circulates quietly within the company, but no one dares talk about it openly. Before joining the Krampus Compliance Authority, Promeia came from the infamous Sweepers, an Outer Ring group that served Calydon and specialized in eliminating "unstable elements."

Promeia received her handcuffs upon joining Krampus, something she personally insisted on as her only condition. Krampus didn't confiscate the key, but beyond duty to her mission, she almost never chooses to take them off. To her, they represent both restraint and judgment. The rumors are true. Back when Promeia was a Sweeper, her primary duty was dealing with so-called "Ethereals" afflicted with irreversible corruption, ending both their lives and their suffering. She once believed it was all for some greater cause, for the land beneath her feet. Trembling, she accepted that heavy fate. Until the truth came to light. That arrogant, razor-sharp killer died. What remained was nothing more than a prisoner, burdened by fate and guilt.

Cooperation Notes:

Belle

She doesn't say much, but Promeia gets her point across with surprising clarity... What a remarkable skill!
