Review

Near Astrea Esterosa is one of the better PVE rearms in the game; with her high amounts of damage and the immortality she gains from her leader skill, she is similar to Veronica but with better overall damage and bulk.

Overall, she's a beast of a tank who can survive for a long time while dealing insane amounts of damage, despite lacking MDL. Even if her HP gets down to 0, she will still keep tanking for 8 seconds thanks to the immortality. As a result, she can be used for specific playstyles in PVE, such as the immortality cheese strat for Dives 48-50.

As for PVP, while she was initially very strong, she has started to fall off due to newer units who are more tanky, and sometimes cheaper, than her.

Overall, she's a great character to have rearmed.

Pros & Cons
Pros

- Immortality! You can easily cheese a lot of content with it, including Dive 50 and Relic Dungeons,

- she can deal massive damage even if you build her full tank due to True Damage on her passive,

- conversely, she's strangely tanky even with full offense gear, being able to tank some endgame PVE stages.

Cons

- buff removers are her bane in PVP.
