Released in Version 1.3 (November 2024) with a 2.2 rerun, she’s Deputy Chief of Section 6 and Soukaku’s guardian her powers stem from a life-saving blood transfusion granting stance-switching prowess. In 2.6 (Feb 2026), Prydwen rates her T1 Anomaly DPS (downgraded from T0.5 due to team-dependent scores), while Game8 users vote SS and Icy Veins T0.
