  • Lucy Overview

Lucy is a Fire Support Agent who specialises in dealing consistent off-field damage and providing powerful ATK buffs for her teammates. She can summon a trio of Guard Boars that inherit her ATK, Impact, and Anomaly Proficiency, making her capable of contributing to the team's overall DPS easily while also staggering enemies surprisingly quickly. When Lucy uses her EX Special Attack, the resulting explosion applies the Cheer On! status to all squad members, Bangboos, and the boars themselves; while active, allies receive a massive ATK increase based on a percentage of Lucy's own ATK, up to a maximum cap of 600. Lucy can also increase the attack frequency of her boars and boost the Cheer On! buff on the boars themselves to 200% of its original effect with her Core Skill.

Her additional Core ability is activated when she's paired with an Agent of the same faction or a Fire character. With it, her Guard Boars inherit Lucy's CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG, turning them into formidable sub-DPS units even while she is off the field. In combat, the boars will randomly use baseball bats, slingshots, or boxing gloves to automatically attack enemies. When Lucy uses her fourth Basic Attack or gains the Cheer On! status, the boars launch a coordinated Spinning Swing! attack, whirling their weapons to deal continuous Physical DMG to nearby enemies. While her minions apply constant pressure, using Lucy's Chain Attack or Ultimate sends the boars crashing down in a large area, dealing massive Fire DMG to finish off staggered enemies.

Lucy Skill Priority

Below are the best skill priorities for Lucy:

SkillPriority
Core Skill Core Skill★★★★★ (Top)
Basic Attack Basic Attack★★★ (Mid)
Chain Attack Chain Attack★★★ (High)
Special Attack Special Attack★★★★ (Top)
Dodge Dodge★ (Low)
Assist Assist★★ (Low)

Lucy gets the most value from her Core Skill, as it directly dictates the strength of her "Cheer On!" ATK buff cap and improves the multipliers her Guard Boars inherit, so you should prioritise upgrading it first. Afterwards, you should upgrade her Special Attack, as her gameplay heavily revolves around using her EX Special Attack to trigger her team-wide buffs and deal solid Fire damage. Next on the list is her Chain Attack, which provides excellent burst damage and crowd control when enemies are staggered. Finally, her Assist, Basic Attack, and Dodge stand as the least prioritised skills. Because Lucy is an off-field support, she won't stay on the field for long, and you'll spend most of your time controlling your main damage dealers!

Lucy Best W-Engines

As a Support Agent who's also an off-field Sub-DPS, Lucy wants as much ATK% and/or Energy Regen as possible, with ATK% taking priority over Energy Regen. Being a character whose Guard Boars count as active friendly units that constantly attack, her Signature W-Engine - Kaboom the Cannon is the perfect Support W-Engine to provide Lucy with Energy Regen while effortlessly maintaining its team-wide ATK buff, making it highly recommended if you wish to maximise her potential.

Lucy Best Disk Drives Sets

As a Support Agent who relies heavily on her EX Special Attack and off-field presence, Lucy is best suited for 4-Piece Drive Disc Sets that provide massive team-wide DMG buffs, notably Moonlight Lullaby, Astral Voice, and Swing Jazz. Moonlight Lullaby stands as her absolute best choice, as her frequent EX Special Attacks effortlessly maintain its long-lasting 25-second damage buff for the entire squad. Regardless of which 4-Piece set you choose based on your specific team rotation, you should always combine it with a 2-Piece Puffer Electro set; the extra PEN Ratio significantly increases the personal damage of her Guard Boars while they fight alongside your main DPS.

Best 4-Piece Choice

Moonlight Lullaby

Moonlight Lullaby (4-PC)

  • Energy Regen +20%. (2-piece Set)
  • When the equipper is a Support character and uses an EX Special Attack or Ultimate, the DMG dealt by all squad members increases by 18% for 25s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Passive effects of the same name do not stack. (4-piece Set)

astral voice

Astral Voice (4-PC)

  • ATK +10%. (2-piece Set)
  • Whenever any squad member enters the field using a Quick Assist, all squad members gain 1 stack of Astral, up to a maximum of 3 stacks, and lasting 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Each stack of Astral increases the DMG dealt by the character entering the field using a Quick Assist by 8%. Only one of this effect can be active at a time in the same squad. (4-piece Set)

swing jazz

Swing Jazz (4-PC)

  • Energy Regen +20%. (2-piece Set)
  • Launching a Chain Attack or Ultimate increases all squad members' DMG by 15% for 12s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack. (4-piece Set)

Lucy Best Teams

When figuring out how to choose the best team for Lucy, you have incredible flexibility because her powerful ATK buff applies universally to any teammate, regardless of their faction or attribute. To truly maximize the team's total damage, your first step should ideally be pairing her with a high-output DPS or Anomaly agent who shares her Fire attribute or Sons of Calydon faction; while not required for her buff, this synergy activates her Additional Core Skill, allowing her Guard Boars to inherit her CRIT stats and become lethal off-field attackers. Once your primary attacker is locked in, your final slot depends on your strategy: round out the trio with a Stunner for traditional burst windows, or slot in a second Anomaly character to take full advantage of Lucy’s ability to facilitate devastating Disorder reactions.

Mindscape Cinema Performance

LevelRatingWhy it’s good

M1

★★★☆☆Improves her personal Energy Regeneration. This makes it easier for Lucy to secure enough energy for her EX Special Attack, ensuring you can consistently trigger her "Cheer On!" buff.
M2★★★★★A massive quality-of-life upgrade for her rotations. It allows you to reliably apply and refresh her ATK buff without needing to spend energy on her EX Special Attack, drastically improving your team's buff uptime.
M4★★★★☆A direct, unconditional DPS increase for your main damage dealer. Stacking a team-wide CRIT DMG buff on top of her already potent ATK buff elevates her into a top-tier universal support.
M6★★★★★A massive spike to both her off-field damage and supportive capabilities. The explosive follow-ups turn her into a potent sub-DPS, while the duration extensions effectively guarantee 100% uptime on her ATK and CRIT buffs.

Mindscape Cinema Effect

MindscapeEffect
M1

''Drill Formations''

When the guard boars launch Guard Boars: Spinning Swing!, Lucy recovers 2 Energy. This effect can trigger once every 15s, with each guard boar having its own separate cooldown.

M2

''Little Boar Captain''

When Lucy uses a Chain Attack or Ultimate, it grants all squad members, Bangboo, and the guard boars the Cheer On! status for 10s.

M3

''Ironfist Overseer''

Basic Attack, Assist, Dodge, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

M4

''Chaos Ball Game''

While in the Cheer On! state, allies' CRIT DMG is increased by an additional 10%.

M5

''Wildland Princess''

Basic Attack, Assist, Dodge, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

M6''Fierce Fangs of Fires''

When an ally in the Cheer On! state hits an enemy with an EX Special Attack, a guard boar will drop from the sky and cause an explosion, dealing Fire DMG equal to 300% of the guard boar's ATK. This will extend the duration of the Cheer On! buff for all squad members by 5s. The duration can increase up to 3 times, with a maximum duration of 30s. Refreshing the Cheer On! state resets the stack count. After the guard boar's explosion, it will launch Guard Boars: Spinning Swing!.
