☛ Basic Introduction ☚
Fugue is a five-star Fire Nihility character. As a powerful Break Effect support unit, Fugue brings a fresh mechanic to the game with her unique Cloudflame Luster effect, applied through her talent, which amplifies her role in Break teams. Following Jiaoqiu, she is only the second Fire Nihility character in the game but offers a distinct playstyle focused on break support rather than direct damage. Fugue is expected to be a prime replacement for Imaginary Trailblazer in the meta Break teams due to her ability to deal Super Break DMG via her talent. For free-to-play players, Fugue is especially appealing, as her effectiveness relies primarily on Break Effect stats, making her both efficient and cost-effective to build.
