Review
A unique Echomancer, Sorley is the only Melee Skirmisher. He's capable of switching between a Sword form that deals Physical DMG, and a Royal Gun form, that deals Lightning DMG. This makes him ideal to work alongside other Echomancers who alternate between Physical and Elemental DMG, such as Hassel and Cyros. Furthermore, his [DEBUFF] can guarantee 100% Crit on his auto-attacks, once more guaranteeing great synergy with high ASPD builds and Echomancers like the two already mentioned. His biggest downsides are his lower stats due to his 5-star rarity and the fact that he can die easily due to being a Skirmisher who has to stay in close range. He can be also tricky to balance since there are few options to optimize his performance, but he's a very fun character nevertheless and rewards those who put time into getting the hang of switching forms.
Pros
Can deal both Physical and Lightning DMG, and consequently trigger Nexus skills from both sides;
Self-reliant, can consistently self-buff to increase his own ASPD and guarantee criticals;
Auto-attacks can deal AoE DMG;
Cons
Tricky to build around;
Squishy but has to stay in close range most of the time;
Combo skill has limited amount of uses;
Struggles to compete with other damage dealers who are more focused than him.
Tier list comment
Can switch between gun (Lightning DMG) and a sword (Physical DMG) modes. A mixed kit that lacks utility for the team, instead focusing on self-buffs that include ASPD increase and a guarantee of 100% CRIT Rate.

Tips & Dupes
Dupes
Like every 5-star and below, three dupes or more is highly recommended so he can make the most of his kit and keep up with higher rarity Echomancers.
Tips
Both Sorley and Hassel can make use of unique skills like 'Mixed Strike'. He can also take advantage both from skills that benefit Physical and Lightning DMG, although finding the right balance here will depend highly on the rest of the team.
'Targeted Strike - Triangle', 'Bonus Time', 'Getting Into the Swing' and 'Multi Resonance' are all good picks.
Skill Upgrade Priority
Both his skills are equally important. In theory, "Extreme Aiming" will guarantee more burst damage, but as a Skirmisher who relies on combos, the amount of uses of this skill becomes very limited. Meanwhile, being a character who benefits a lot from auto-attacks and ASPD, "Strategy Shift" is a more consistent pick and sits better for longer fights.
Profile & Tea Time
Any Formula requires a minimum of 330 score in order to unlock new Dialogues. Full Bonus can be achieved with Coziness 4000 + Bond level 9 or above. There are two types of Formula: Memoir and Score. "Memoir" enables the Memoir book, while "Score" are high score recipes used to farm bond (the numbers in the brackets mean: No Bonus/Full Coziness/Full Bonus).
