Release1.0
March 7th is the free Ice Preservation shielder you meet at the very start of the game. Her Skill shields one ally, cleanses a debuff and draws enemy attacks to them, her Talent counters whenever a shielded ally is hit, and her Ultimate can Freeze every enemy. A great early-game companion, she is now outclassed by modern sustains and mostly used in niche setups, such as a self-shield with Trend of the Universal Market for Acheron.

Moment of Victory

Trend of the Universal Market
4★
For Acheron teams: shield herself and each hit she takes Burns the attacker, stacking debuffs.

Teams
Recommended teams
Acheron
Her main remaining use: with Trend of the Universal Market, she shields herself and Burns every enemy that hits her, feeding Acheron's Slashed Dream.
Counter team
Her shield steers enemies towards Clara, who counters every hit, while March's own counters are Follow-Up ATKs, which Topaz boosts.
Guide
How to play
How she works
- Skill – The Power of Cuteness. Shields one ally for 57% of her DEF + 760 for 3 turns (4 with her A4 Reinforce). If that ally's HP is at 30% or more, enemies are much more likely to attack them. Her A2 Purify also removes 1 debuff.
- Talent – Girl Power. After a shielded ally is attacked, she counters for Ice DMG (2 times per turn, 3 at E4).
- Ultimate – Glacial Cascade (120 Energy). AoE Ice DMG with a 50% base chance to Freeze each enemy for 1 turn (65% with her A6 Ice Spell). Frozen enemies can't act and take Ice Additional DMG at the start of their turn.
- Technique – Freezing Beauty. Attacks immediately and Freezes a random enemy at the start of battle.
Rotation
- Shield your most vulnerable ally, or a tanky ally you want enemies to target.
- Refresh the shield when it expires or when someone needs a cleanse; otherwise use Basic ATKs to generate Skill Points.
- Use her Ultimate to Freeze dangerous enemies before they act.
Tips
- Freeze needs Effect Hit Rate (64% or more); against Freeze-immune enemies, skip EHR and stack DEF for bigger shields.
- Her shield redirects attacks: avoid Moment of Victory if you want enemies to target someone other than March.
- With Trend of the Universal Market, shield herself so every hit she takes Burns the attacker — a free stream of debuffs for Acheron.
- She struggles to sustain a team on her own: pair her with a healer.
Strengths
- Strong single-target shield
- Semi-reliable AoE Freeze
- Cleanses a debuff with her Skill
- Her shield draws enemy attacks to the ally of your choice
- Free, and easy to build
Weaknesses
- Struggles to sustain the team on her own
- The aggro increase isn't guaranteed
- Loses a lot of value against Freeze-immune enemies
- Never the optimal choice in current endgame
- Can drain Skill Points when the fight goes badly
