| New Character Introduction: Korabi

Korabi, the one who wields the power sealed within an ancient mask, joins as a new vanguard.

She manipulates the power of blood through her mask, serving as a supporter to aid her allies.

Normally quiet and hesitant, she occasionally erupts with sudden bursts of temper, unleashing devastating attacks. Still, she rarely takes the frontline herself, as her inherently timid nature holds her back.

| Combat Role

Ally Healing / Ally Enhancement / Enemy Disruption / Hit-Condition Synergy

Korabi grants buffs based on critical damage to a single ally while forcing multiple enemies to act quickly but weakly. She shines best in parties that rely on effects triggered by taking hits.

| Combat Concept Details

Korabi supports her team by granting enemies more turns but reducing their attack power, allowing allies to safely and quickly trigger hit-based conditions.

Her unique form of support ensures allies take less damage while taking hits faster.

At the same time, she enhances the offensive power of specific allies, focusing the team’s firepower where it’s needed most.

| Character Traits

Though timid in nature, Korabi occasionally loses control of her emotions, leading her to act aggressively.

When allies are attacked, there is a chance she unknowingly unleashes hidden power, striking back fiercely at the enemy.

This can sometimes result in unexpected advantages—or mishaps. But a person’s nature isn’t easily changed. Perhaps you, Human God, can turn even Korabi’s quirks into strengths.

| Exclusive Weapon Features

Korabi’s exclusive weapon, Red Pudding, enhances her base stats, strengthens allies further, and boosts overall team survivability.

It also makes previously impossible party compositions viable under certain conditions.

Since the weapon boosts Slash Enhancement for allies, Korabi becomes a valuable choice not only for crit-focused dealers but also for those who rely more on Slash stats, adding diversity to team-building.

| Recommended Compositions

She pairs well with pure tanks, charging warriors, and counterattack/support-counter dealers that rely on hit conditions.

Korabi stabilizes their damage output while maximizing the potential of hit-based mechanics.

Korabi is not merely a supporter who strengthens allies.

The power of her mask makes her a strategic cornerstone for “grow stronger while being hit” compositions, adding new depth to the battlefield.
