WeissBuild and Guide

Weiss is an INT Ranger Undead Soul who primarily has kit revolving around Freeze DOT. Let's take a look at her skills first:

• Passive - Great Might of Science: Attacks by her Drones and Tanks do not normally Crit, but in turn ignore 50% DEF and Magic Resistance, and her sub skills restore 1000 mana.

• Ultimate - Decisive Shot: An AoE skill that knocks down targets and deals guaranteed Critical Damage against enemies inflicted with Freeze or “Frost Concentration” and further additional damage against enemies with “Frost Concentration.” 

• Main - Full-Scale Unit Assault: Another AoE skill that inflicts Freeze on enemies and “Frost Concentration” on enemies already inflicted with Freeze, decreasing their Speed by 20% for 10s. Deals guaranteed Critical Damage against enemies inflicted with Freeze or “Frost Concentration.”

• Sub 1 - Assault Drones - Eins & Zwei: Uses a Machine Gun or Missile against the frontmost enemy, dealing damage and either stunning it with Machine Gun or inflicting Freeze/“Frost Concentration” with Missiles. Deals guaranteed Critical Damage against enemies inflicted with Freeze or “Frost Concentration.”

• Sub 2 - Precision Artillery Tank - Drei: Another AoE Skill that can inflict “Frost Concentration” on enemies already inflicted with Freeze. Deals guaranteed Critical Damage against enemies inflicted with Freeze or “Frost Concentration.”

• Artifact – Solomon's Ring: Increases the Attack and Damage dealt of all Chalar Souls (Weiss, Flynn, Renee, Miriam, Kanna, and Joanne) by 10-20%. Doubles effect against raid bosses or ESS and further reduces damage taken by 20-30%.

Weiss, the leader of Chalar Corps is a DPS Soul with kit focused entirely around Freeze DoT, which not only does its normal damage as DoT, but further cripples enemies by turning into “Frost Concentration” and increasing skills damage by guaranteeing Critical Hits. She does a respectable amount of DPS, however it is nothing meta shaking.

Being a backline attacker, she is not too shabby in the survival department and can last in battles properly to do her job. Her Passive ignoring DEF and Magic Resistance allows her to kill enemies more easily allowing her to quickly fulfill her role.

Investment

Investment wise, she has a large appetite being primarily a DPS character.                    

• New/F2P/Casual Players: Rather skippable banner as things stand, average soul in most of content.

• Dolphins/Competitive Raid Players/Whales/Rankers: Could have potential synergies in some raids with Freeze/DoT units, but nothing must have as things stand.

Team Composition and Synergies

Weiss will ideally be paired with other characters that deal Freeze DoT such as Honglan and Nini for faster application of Freeze, so she can continuously apply “Frost Concentration” and deal Critical Hits with all her skills enhancing her damage significantly. You can also pair her with fellow Chalar Corps members enhancing their performance as a team. Outside that, the general buffers and supports work just fine with her.

Conclusion

Weiss is an average soul, the first one in quite a while, that works in most content but excels in none as of writing this review on her release. Her Freeze focused kit brings an interesting element to the game, but DoT has been suffering as an archetype for quite a bit in meta, as it never was really good in Battlefront/Depths and recently has fallen quite a bit from grace in Raids in favor or Crit Damage builds. Skippable meta wise, good waifu wise.
