Soldier 11
Member of the New Eridu Defense Force
Soldier 11 is a Fire Attack Agent who rewards precise timing: perfectly timed Basic Attacks become Fire Suppression strikes with +70% DMG. Her Awakened Potential added a 5th Basic hit that, after a Chain Attack or Ultimate, consumes all her Fire Suppression charges for one massive blow, plus up to +48% CRIT DMG from her Additional Ability. With Norma as her partner, this standard S-Rank can compete with limited DPS.

Main stats
Substat priority
Stat targets
- CRIT Rate 80%+
- CRIT DMG 140%+ (before her Potential's +48%)
- ATK 2,800–3,000+
- HP 9,500+, DEF 800+
Talent priority
Fire DMG% on Disc 5 is the weakest option: her Additional Ability and Core Passive already give her plenty of DMG bonus.
Recommended teams
Norma & Astra Yao
Her most used team, and Game8's premium pick. Norma is her designated partner: a Fire Stunner who activates her Additional Ability and gives extra Chain Attacks, which means more empowered 5th hits. Astra Yao adds more Chain Attacks and big buffs. Bangboo: Rocketboo (two Fire Agents).
Norma & Sunna
Sunna's ATK and Stun DMG Multiplier buffs suit Soldier 11, who spends a lot of time on-field. Bangboo: Rocketboo.
How to play
Fire Suppression
- Press Basic Attack at the right moment and the hit becomes Fire Suppression: Fire DMG instead of Physical, with +70% DMG from her Core Passive.
- Her EX Special, Chain Attack and Ultimate make her next Basic and Dash Attacks trigger Fire Suppression automatically (up to 8 times within 30s), link straight into her 4th Basic hit and put her in Alert Stance (getting hit during a Basic Attack triggers an automatic block and counter).
- While those guaranteed triggers remain, her 5th Basic hit is unlocked. Perfectly timed, it loops back to the 3rd hit.
- After a Chain Attack or Ultimate, the next 5th hit is empowered: it spends all remaining guaranteed triggers for extra Fire DMG each. This is her biggest hit.
Parry
Hold Basic Attack for Fire Charge, then release for Fire Assault. Getting hit during it blocks the attack and gives 3 guaranteed Fire Suppression triggers, then leads into her 3rd Basic hit.
Stun combo
Chain Attack → B4 → empowered B5 → trigger a Chain → Chain Attack → B4 → empowered B5 → Ultimate → B4 → empowered B5 → EX Special → B4 → B5 → B3… until the Stun ends.
Tips
- Her Additional Ability (same Attribute or same Faction) is a big part of her damage (+10% Fire DMG, +22.5% more against Stunned enemies, +48% CRIT DMG with her Potential): always run a Fire or Obol Squad teammate.
- A Perfect Dodge keeps her Basic Attack count for 5s, so a Dodge Counter doesn't reset the string.
- Feed her Decibels: her Ultimate is one of the strongest among Attackers.
Strengths
- Strong damage on par with some limited Attackers when her timings are clean.
- Low resource management: great both on-field and in bursty Stun rotations.
- Standard S-Rank with a standard signature W-Engine (The Brimstone).
- Norma, Koleda and Lucy all activate her Additional Ability.
Weaknesses
- Relies on perfectly timed attacks: a high skill floor.
- Needs the right teammates (Norma, Dialyn, Lighter) and limited W-Engines to be truly competitive.
- Her 80-Energy EX Special can make some Drive Disc sets hard to keep up.
- Game8 still puts her in Tier 2.
Notable dupes · Mindscape Cinema
Refills her Energy to 80 when she switches in below 40 (once every 50s): more EX Specials despite their high cost.
Each Fire Suppression stacks +3% Basic Attack, Dash Attack and Dodge Counter DMG (up to 12 stacks). Game8 rates it Amazing, like M6.
Damage reduction, then invulnerability, while triggering Fire Suppression: comfort only.
After an EX Special, Chain Attack or Ultimate, her next 8 Fire Suppression hits ignore 25% of the target's Fire RES.
