Review

We have reworked our tier list owing to multiple meta shifts and how we rate characters. As such some of the reviews (especially of older characters) might not match the tier list ratings. Please prioritize the ratings given over provided Review. We will be working on updating all reviews, but it is a time-consuming endeavor.

The only ‘berserker’ unit in the game where she deals more damage at a lower HP, Dora excels at destroying single frontlines with her M1 and S3 which ignores enemy DEF. Comparable with Haru as a tank buster, she also has an extremely high crit and crit damage built-in, which is the reason why enemy Dora could oneshot your tanks if her attacks do not miss.

Ironically, being low HP doesn’t make Dora die instantly due to her innate 100% DEF boost (and physical/magic res with her artifact). While she does receive reduced healing, this is part of her kit to make her intentionally stay below 50% HP, but barriers still work in their full effect with her, making her an excellent choice with Talia. 

That said, her role as a striker and not a pure tank limits her options of fitting into most traditional end game team comps, which mainly run tank/assassin/healer+backline. She cannot target backlines like an assassin despite her extraordinary damage while being low, and neither does she have the durability of a traditional tank. Furthermore, healers that only provide HP recovery would be half as effective on Dora, which limits the healers you can bring to enhance her durability until new units are released.

At later stages, enemy comps will hit so hard that your Dora that starts the battle with 40% HP will be easily killed even with all her innate resistances and DEF boost, especially against backlines that ignore DEF such as Miriam and Nicole.

Single Bosses

Dora has yet to make an impact like Haru since her personal DPS is lower, while also not being able to provide an offensive teamwide buff.

PVP

Dora is also rarely seen since most people wouldn’t want to take the chance of starting the match with a unit at 40% HP, making her very vulnerable to RNG factors like crit or focus firing.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Berserker unit.

  • Def and Resistance boosts to help her survive.

Cons
