Physical
Attack
Corin
Maid of Victoria Housekeeping Co.
Corin Wickes is an A-Rank Physical Attack Agent who fights with a chainsaw far bigger than she is. Holding the button extends her slashes for +37.5% DMG, and most of her damage lands in Stun windows through her Ultimate, Chain Attack and EX Special. With Dialyn and Astra Yao she posts surprising scores for an A-Rank, but she's very team- and matchup-dependent. Prydwen rates her T2 (at M6), Game8 Tier 3.

Recommended teams
Dialyn & Astra Yao
Her best team, and her most used one in Shiyu Defense. Dialyn is Physical (Additional Ability), extends Stuns and converts Chain Attacks into extra Ultimates; Astra Yao brings Quick Assists, extra Chain Attacks and big buffs. Bangboo: Bangvolver (2+ Physical Agents).
Physical: Dialyn & Sunna
Her most used Deadly Assault team: a fully Physical squad with huge buffs from Sunna. Bangboo: Bangvolver.
How to play
Extended slashes
Basic Attack hits 3 and 5, Dash Attack, Dodge Counter, Quick Assist, Assist Follow-Up, EX Special, Chain Attack and Ultimate can all be extended by holding or mashing the button. Her Core Passive gives those extended slashes +37.5% DMG, so always extend them.
Gameplay focus
- Her Ultimate is her biggest hit: the goal is to have one ready for every Stun. Decibels come fastest from Defensive Assists (Perfect Assists), Chain Attacks, Quick Assists and Anomalies.
- Additional Ability: +35% DMG against Stunned enemies when a teammate shares her Physical attribute (Dialyn, Sunna, Yuzuha…) or the Victoria Housekeeping Co. faction (Lycaon, Ellen, Rina).
- Skip Basic 1–2, which are slow and weak: enter via Quick Assist, Dodge Counter or Assist Follow-Up to go straight to Basic 4, and after a Chain Attack go straight to Basic 5.
- Basic 5 can be swap-cancelled: she keeps attacking while the next Agent acts.
- Save the extended EX Special for Stuns: it costs a lot of Energy and roots her. Outside Stun, release it early so you don't waste Energy.
- Dash to cancel the end lag of her Ultimate, then follow with an EX Special or Basic 5.
Steel Cushion + Trigger is a neat combo: Trigger's Chain Attack places Corin behind the enemy, triggering the back-attack bonus for free.
Strengths
- Surprisingly high damage for an A-Rank in the right team and matchup.
- Easy to gear: several strong W-Engines come from the standard banner.
- High skill ceiling that rewards good Assist timing.
- Free: she's handed out early in the story.
Weaknesses
- Relies on player skill and on Dialyn and Astra Yao; big drop-off with weaker teammates.
- Needs an Ultimate every Stun, which is hard against enemies with few Perfect Assist windows.
- Little AoE, and her long extended slashes leave her exposed against mobile enemies.
