Pulchra (ZZZ) Build

Intro
To start, let me summarize Pulchra’s role: Pulchra is an “off-field Stun” character who also has the ability to buff the damage of on-field teammates. In combat, Pulchra serves three main purposes in a team:

1. She can provide off-field Stun.

2. She can increase the Stun rate from off-field, allowing on-field teammates to Stun enemies faster.

3. She can buff the damage of on-field teammates.

These are the three key roles she plays in combat.

Hunter’s Gait
Pulchra has four core skills in combat: Ex Special Skill, Assist Follow-Up, Chain Attack, and Ultimate.

When we activate the Ex Special Skill, Assist Follow-Up, Chain Attack, or Ultimate, Pulchra enters the Hunter’s Gait state. Upon entering this state, the six triangles below her avatar will light up to indicate that she has entered this state. So, what does the Hunter’s Gait state do? It has four main effects:

1. Increased Daze Value: After entering Hunter’s Gait, Pulchra’s Daze value increases by 30% for 6 seconds. You can track this buff by observing the icon’s duration. The icon lights up when the buff activates and dims after 6 seconds. As long as the icon is lit, the “30% increased Daze” buff is active.

2. Quick Assist Trigger: The moment Pulchra enters Hunter’s Gait, she triggers the Quick Assist of the previous character. This allows you to immediately switch to the previous character using Quick Assist.

3. Extended Duration: As long as Pulchra remains off-field, the Hunter’s Gait icon will stay lit, keeping the state active and maintaining the 30% increased Daze buff indefinitely, rather than being limited to 6 seconds.

4. Coordinate Attack : When Pulchra is in Hunter’s Gait and off-field, your on-field character can activate Pulchra’s Coordinate Attack by using their Special Skill. This can be triggered by either the Ex Special Skill or the regular Special Skill. The Coordinate Attack deals additional physical Stun damage and increases Daze. Each Coordinate Attack consumes one triangle icon. At M1 to M5, Pulchra can perform up to 6 Coordinate Attacks, while at M6, she can perform up to 8. Once all Coordinate Attacks are used, Pulchra exits Hunter’s Gait.

Binding Trap
Finally, there’s one more core skill to discuss: When there is an Attack teammate or a teammate from the “same faction” in the party, Pulchra’s Coordinate Attack, Ex Special Skill, Assist Follow-Up, Chain Attack, and Ultimate will apply a Binding Trap debuff to enemies for 15 seconds. This debuff increases the damage enemies take from Follow-up Attacks by 30%. However, if Pulchra is at M6, it’s not just Follow-up Attacks—enemies take 30% increased damage from all sources.

How to Play Pulchra
So, what is her combat rotation like? It’s actually quite simple:

1. Use either the Ex Special Skill, Assist Follow-Up, Chain Attack, or Ultimate to enter Hunter’s Gait.

2. Once in Hunter’s Gait, use Quick Assist to switch to your on-field teammate.

3. The on-field teammate uses their Special Skill to activate Pulchra’s Coordinate Attack.

4. The on-field teammate then uses Basic Attacks to allow Pulchra to perform Coordinate Attacks from off-field.

5. Once all Coordinate Attacks are used, repeat the cycle by using the Ex Special Skill or Assist Follow-Up to re-enter Hunter’s Gait and activate the Coordinate Attack again. This allows Pulchra to perform another 6 Coordinate Attacks.

In combat, I often use the Ex Special Skill and Assist Follow-Up to enter Hunter’s Gait, so you can use these as references.
