Carolina is an S-Level Mage of the Graveborn faction. Her kit revolves around crowd control and massive damage.
Her most iconic skill is "Snowball Witchery", which causes Carolina to surround herself with 4 snowballs, pelting enemies under the effect of crowd control with damage. Her other skills, such as "Freezing Nova" and her Ultimate "Frozen Nova" focus on inflicting Frostbite on the enemies so that she generate and throw her snowballs. This both helps Carolina and also has great synergy with other characters that focus on crowd control such as Eironn or Arden.
Her Exclusive Weapon grants access to "Frost Protection". Though, rather than protection, it is more like a Frost Nuke. Every time Carolina refreshes her "Snowball Witchery" its damage dealt is increased, and her snowballs start doing AoE damage (and reducing MDEF).
While this makes her good in AoE situations, it becomes genuinely scary when paired with other crowd control, especially the stuff that clumps people together (Eironn EX), and serves as one of the primary strategies in Arena.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Extremely high AoE burst damage after unlocking EX.
Amazing synergy with Eironn, Arden, and other CC units.
Cons
More or less requires EX to work.
If you don't pair her with CC characters, she will underperform.

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.
