Dana is an A-tier off-field Frost support. Equip Karma "A Sparkling Tea Time", 3-piece Ruinsbreaker + 2-piece Froststorm, and prioritize ATK, Crit Chance, and Crit DMG. Her best team is Othello + Cerese for a full Frost composition. She excels at keeping enemies busy with her familiar while dealing ranged Frost damage.

🎯 Playstyle
Dana plays differently from most heroes — she deploys her familiar onto the field to occupy and attack enemies while she stays at range. Her familiar can block incoming attacks when in a pinch and grants party-wide shields after a well-timed deflect. She is the calm, safe pick for players learning boss patterns, as she does not need to be on-field constantly to deal damage.

💡 Combat Tips
Deploy Familiar First
Summon your familiar at the start of fights to occupy enemies while you attack from range.
Master Deflect Timing
A well-timed deflect shields the whole party — practice the timing for tough bosses.
Off-field Damage
Dana deals significant damage while off-field. Swap to her to cast skills, then swap out.
Skill Priority
Max normal attack (level 7) and Chuck Heavy Fist (level 10); Awakening 1 is sufficient for the core loop.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Treating Dana like an on-field DPS — her strength is off-field damage and familiar utility
- Neglecting deflect practice — the party shield is a major survivability tool
- Building pure ATK without Crit — she needs Crit to amplify her multi-hit Frost skills
