Review
Review
Atalanta is an S-Level Marksman of the Lightbearer factions. Her kit crowd control and area damage, but lacks some consistency in either department.
Her bread and butter skill is "Sweet Encounter", which is a whip attack that knocks an enemy back several tiles and immobilizes them. If they collide with another enemy. both are immobilized. At higher levels, the collision starts dealing extra damage. Her other skill, "Scorching Gift" isn't very interesting, and simply fires an explosive bolt that deals AoE damage.
Atalanta's Ultimate, "Wild Sniper", makes her dash to a tile and shoot an arrow that deals damage in a line, stunning all enemies hit. At higher levels, this also triggers "Scorching Gift" at the targets' locations.
Her Exclusive Weapon unlocks "Sleight of Hand", which allows Atalanta to cast "Sweet Encounter" twice in one go and at +10 she steals ATK/PDEF from the main target of her "Sweet Encounter" for a short duration.
Just prefacing this with: I can't see any use for Atalanta. She has a weird mix of AoE damage and crowd control, but doesn't really lean into wanting to do either. The durations are very minimal and her skills are hard to get targeted right, resulting in often underwhelming applications of crowd control save for very specific cases. And to make things worse, her EX doesn't even allow her to permanently steal stats, as they are returned after the duration is over.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Decent AoE damage mixed with annoying crowd control.
Cons
Doesn't perform well either as a damage dealer or controller.
Crowd Control is hard to apply correctly, especially in auto-battle.
Damage is mediocre compared to characters focused on dealing AoE damage.

EX Investment
The EX investment information were created with the help of Seas0n, the creator of the
AFK Analytica community that supports AFK Arena and AFK Journey.
You can find their website here and their discord here.
Since the
Temporal Essence
and
Twilight Essence
are very hard to obtain, you have to be really careful with the using them to upgrade the EX weapon. And in this guide we ordered all characters by the priority when it comes to how much they need investment in their EX weapon to work well and where should you stop to get the best bang for your buck.
Why does the +8 breakpoint appear so often?
Because the raw stats you get from upgrading the EX weapon help you more than the passive in some cases. Also, to upgrade the EX from +5 to +8 you need only 30x
Temporal Essence
, while the remaining two levels require additional 45x
Temporal Essence
. So you get the best bang for your buck stopping at +8.
Color explanation:
+0 - the base investment for the character,
+5/8 - the next step that you should do when investing into that character,
+10/15 - the final step you should do when investing into that character - you can go beyond that later though once you have the Essences to spare.
