High Priority
Alternative
Low Priority
- Enhanced P./M Resistance Up is Linca’s strongest trait, drastically enhancing the magic damage reduction buff from her Skill 2, on all her allies. This trait defines her magic defender exclusive role.
- Regular Magic Resistance Up trait is a simple one that will further boost her defensive prowess. Do not bother with its Physical version.
- Magic Resistance Up [Full] is also ok, but Linca does not have any self sustain outside of some gear pieces, so keeping this effect active will prove challenging after the first hit.
- Enhanced P./M Resistance Up [D] provides the same effect than Enhanced P./M Resistance Up but only for herself and other Defender allies. The effect is slightly stronger in exchange.
- Enhanced Damage Buff [A] is a low priority choice, only used when equipped with memorias like A Trusty Partner, Budding Girl without a Name or Our Masterpiece. Gear pieces like Edelweiss and Shadow Walkers will also benefit from this. This trait will turn Linca in a more offensive supporter hybrid while sacrificing survivability.
- Enhanced P./M. Resistance Down is last in priority, and should only be used when equipped with Radiant Coronet. This will enhance the effect of the item to more than double. Highly niche, and almost never necessary.
- Linca is a Defender specialized exclusively against enemies that deal magic damage. She is one of the bulkiest and strongest characters against them, and can protect her entire team immensely. She is terrible against physical damage, however, so she should be avoided against these.
- Magic type damage includes Fire, Ice, Bolt and Air damage.
- She only offers heavy damage mitigation. Nothing in her kit, excluding gear and memorias, offers any offensive value to her team.
- She can also be a substitute for AoE Slash attackers, if you don’t have any.
- Having mitigation in both buffing and debuffing forms guarantees her excellent performance in stages that penalize either of them.
- Despite being a 1 star unit and her stats being really bad in that initial state, she can be raised to 5 stars like any other character, at which point her stats will be equal or even better than others.
- For beginners or players just starting to climb Slash Tower, she is absolutely indispensable. Much of the damage dealt by enemies there has been balanced with her in consideration, unless of course you are grossly overgeared and overleveled, or if you have more modern units that can replace her.
Score shown is only applicable for General Content
As a character with the lowest rarity, Linca is supposed to serve as a stepping stone for the player to get through the earlier stages of the game while acquiring stronger character.
In reality, Linca achieves much more than that. As a Defender specialized in neutralizing magic type enemies and protecting her team against magic attacks, she does exactly that and does it extremely well.
Linca is also one of the only Non-Attacker Slash characters with access to an AoE Burst Skill, which will find a lot of use in quite a lot of content, specially Slash Tower.
She is absolutely terrible against physical enemies, however, so avoid her in these instances.
