A PSY Physical

RolesSupport
Release3.1

Drive Kometa is Bronya's A-rank PSY-type Physical cannon user from v3.1, the augment core of Yamabuki Armor. She pilots a mech that shields her whole team, blocks and counters attacks with Perfect Defense (a 5s Time Fracture), gathers enemies and boosts melee Physical DMG while her teammates are shielded. She was one of the best supports of her time, especially for surviving the old Abyss's HP drain, but with no Astral Ring she is obsolete in 9.0: a cheap defensive support for Part 1 content.

Weapons

Briareus EX BiS
S
Marisa Impact's best pick back in the day: a time-slow, DEF-shredding field and Crit Rate. Its base form, Briareus PRI, is in the Exchange Shop.
Old PRI-ARM cannon with a time-slow, DEF-shredding field, stacking Crit Rate and a type-based bonus (+25% Elemental DMG on QUA and IMG wielders).
Star Shatterer: Vikrant
A
Her original cannon: a gravity field that pulls in and weakens enemies, and +15% team Total DMG against weakened enemies.
Rapid-fire cannon: the active creates a 7s gravity field that slows enemies by 50%, deals 150% ATK of Physical DMG per second, drags them to its centre and weakens them (ATK -10%); the team deals 15% more Total DMG to weakened enemies, and the wielder gains 15% max HP.
Dark Star
A
BBS recommendation for a Bleed team: team Physical DMG against bleeding enemies and Bleed Trauma.
Charged cannon: the team deals 15% more Physical DMG to bleeding enemies; the active strikes for 400% ATK of Physical DMG and leaves a 7s Umbral Zone that inflicts Bleed Trauma (each kill inside triggers another 400% ATK blast).

Where to get her: Yamabuki Armor from the Open World, Expedition, Dorm Supply, Dorm Shop and Elysian Shop; Kometa Cores from the Asterite Shop, Expedition and Adventure Tasks (Marisa Impact). Marisa Impact advises new players to farm Valkyrie Blastmetal first, since she fits any Astral Ring team.

Guide

How to play

Shields for everyone

  • Her mech shield protects her; the team shield (25% of her max HP, up to 2,000) absorbs Physical DMG for every teammate and is reset by her QTE or Ultimate.
  • While shielded, allies' melee attacks gain +25% Physical DMG and +10% Crit Rate, and they emit shockwaves every 3s (1.5s in Obliterate Mode).

Switch-in, QTE and cannon

  • Switch skill: Gravity Slam: she enters with a Shield Charge that knocks enemies airborne and deals bonus Physical DMG.
  • QTE: Obliterate: triggers on Time-Slowed enemies, gathers them for 1.8s and inflicts Stun Trauma.
  • Basic ATK: Particle Cannon is a charged cannon shot. An uncharged shot (from 2★) creates a 15s Crippling Field on the target: enemies inside are weakened, take 50% more shield DMG and lose Ignore Interrupt.

Super Gravity (defense)

  • Hold the evasion button to raise her shield against frontal attacks. Release it right as a hit lands for a Counterstrike; the perfect timing triggers Perfect DEF: a 5s Time Fracture plus Move and Attack Speed (CD 15s). From SS rank, each Counterstrike restores 4 SP to the whole team.

Ultimate: Obliterate Mode

  • For only 50 SP (CD 25s), she gathers enemies, knocks them airborne, resets her shields and enters Obliterate Mode for 15s: Iron Body, shields reset every 3s, and her third attack warps gravity to Time Lock enemies and pull them together.

How to use her

  • Swap in for Gravity Slam or her QTE, drop an Ultimate or a Perfect DEF for the Time Fracture, refresh the team shield, then swap back to your DPS.

Her leader skill gives the team +26% Crit Rate above 30 combo hits, and PSY-type battlesuits +29% Crit DMG.

Strengths

  • Great defensive utility: team-wide Physical shields, Perfect DEF Time Fracture and a Time Lock in Obliterate Mode.
  • Strong crowd control: gathers enemies on switch-in, QTE and Ultimate.
  • Cheap Ultimate (50 SP) and team SP from Counterstrikes at SS rank.
  • Buffs melee Physical DPS (+25% Physical DMG and +10% Crit Rate while shielded).

Weaknesses

  • Obsolete in 9.0: no Astral Ring and no Elysian Realm slot; her shields and buffs are far below modern supports.
  • Expensive for an outdated unit: unlocking her takes Yamabuki Armor plus 30 Kometa Cores, and her useful skills need higher augment ranks (more cores and Asterite).
  • Her team shield only blocks Physical DMG.
  • Perfect DEF timing takes practice.
