Rina
Head Maid of Victoria Housekeeping Co.
Alexandrina "Rina" Sebastiane is an Electric Support who fights through her two Bangboo, Drusilla and Anastella. While they're deployed, the whole squad gets up to +30% PEN Ratio, and her Awakened Potential adds up to +576 ATK and +468 DEF on top. Two years after release, this standard S-Rank is still a top-tier Support, and the go-to partner for DEF-scaling Armorers like Claret.

Main stats
Substat priority
Stat targets
- PEN Ratio 72% (Core Passive 14.4% + Disc 5 24% + Weeping Cradle 24% + Puffer Electro 8% + Potential 1.6%) for the full +30% squad PEN Ratio, +576 ATK and +468 DEF
- Enough Energy Regen for an EX Special before each Stun
- ATK 2,000–2,600+ and Anomaly Proficiency 200–300: optional, for her own damage and Shock
- HP 10,500+, DEF 800+
Talent priority
Level her Core Passive first: its A/C/E nodes give 14.4% PEN Ratio and raise the flat part of the buff to +12%. Without Weeping Cradle you'll land around 68% PEN Ratio, i.e. a 29% buff: still very good.
Recommended teams
Armorer: Claret & Koleda
Rina's most used team, and the ninth most used team in the current Deadly Assault (6.4%). Her flat DEF buff feeds Claret's DEF scaling, and Koleda's Additional Ability works with Armorers. Norma is an equally popular Stunner here. Bangboo: Ultra Jake (Claret is from Roscaelifer).
Armorer: Claret & Norma
Claret's best team, and Game8's pick for Rina. Norma's buffs suit Armorers and her extra Chain Attacks help with Decibels. Rina shares Claret's attribute, so her Additional Ability is active. Bangboo: Ultra Jake.
Sigrid & Dialyn
Sigrid is saturated on most buffs, so Rina's PEN Ratio is especially valuable. For a standard-only version, play Lycaon instead of Dialyn: he shares Rina's faction and activates her Additional Ability. Bangboo: Ultra Jake (Sigrid is from Roscaelifer), or Butler with Lycaon.
How to play
Her buff
- Most of her attacks send Drusilla and Anastella out. While at least one of them is deployed, the rest of the squad gains PEN Ratio equal to 25% of Rina's PEN Ratio + 12% (max 30%).
- Her Awakened Potential also gives the squad 8 ATK and 6.5 DEF per 1% of Rina's PEN Ratio (max 576 ATK / 468 DEF) while that buff is active.
- Both caps are reached at 72% PEN Ratio, which is why she builds PEN Ratio above all else.
Keeping the Bangboo out
- The Bangboo normally return after 5.5s. EX Special, Chain Attack and Ultimate put Rina in the Spotless state for 13s: the Bangboo attack on their own every 2.5s (Morning Cleanup), which resets their timer, and every 6 stacks of Fright upgrade the next one to Midnight Cleanup.
- Her Dash Attack is a fast way to deploy them outside of Spotless.
- Avoid her hold Basic Attack (Shoo the Fool): it recalls the Bangboo and ends the buff.
Rotation
- Out of Stun, keep the Bangboo out with Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks or an occasional EX Special.
- Right before the Stun, use her EX Special or Ultimate: Spotless (13s) plus the 5.5s exit timer cover almost the whole Stun, and Moonlight Lullaby triggers at the same time.
- Swap out: she doesn't need field time.
Her Additional Ability (same Attribute or Faction) extends Shock by 3s and gives +10% Electric DMG while an enemy is Shocked. Nice in Electric teams, but not required.
Strengths
- Standard S-Rank that's easy to get, with a strong buff for almost every Attacker, Anomaly Agent and Armorer.
- PEN Ratio is rarely saturated, unlike DMG% and CRIT DMG buffs.
- Her flat DEF buff, rare among Supports, makes her a perfect match for DEF-scaling Armorers.
- Very little field time, and her Bangboo trigger team W-Engine effects like Kaboom the Cannon on their own.
Weaknesses
- Needs a lot of PEN Ratio (72%) to max her buff, which makes her signature W-Engine important.
- Still wants M1 to keep her Bangboo out comfortably.
- Anti-synergy with DEF Shred (Nicole, Trigger's signature...), and her PEN Ratio buff does nothing for Rupture Agents' Sheer DMG.
Notable dupes · Mindscape Cinema
Drusilla and Anastella stay 5.5s longer, and allies within 10m get 130% of the Core Passive buff. Her most important Mindscape by far.
+15% DMG for Rina herself when she switches in.
+0.5 Energy/s while both Bangboo are deployed.
EX Special, Chain Attack and Ultimate hits give the squad +15% Electric DMG for 8s: great in Electric teams only.
