WheriBuild and Guide

Wheri is the fourteenth Fairy Soul released in the game. She is an INT Support who primarily relies on healing and defensive buffs to support her team significantly. Let's take a look at her skills first:

• Passive - Dynamic Adaptation: The core of her skillset, Wheri has two modes she can function in - Researcher mode, if there are no other Supporters on the team, Preservation mode otherwise. Her skills are changed depending on which mode she is in. Her normal attacks deal damage equal to 4% of her MAX HP. Furthermore, Researcher mode heals allies by 3% of Wheri HP on every normal attack whereas Preservation mode doubles the Normal Attack multiplier and makes them guaranteed crits!

• Main - Guardian Silk: Researcher mode provides teamwide heal and cleanses 3 debuffs, Preservation mode increases Resistances and grants CC immunity.

• Ultimate - Attainer of Harmony: Allows her to gain effects of both Researcher and Preservation mode on all her skills and CC immunity for 24 seconds!

• Sub 1 - Forest-Piercing Light: Her only offensive buff, it increases allies Attack by 30-45% for 12-18 seconds depending on the mode.

• Sub 2 - Wave of Growth:  Researcher mode provides teamwide heal, Preservation mode grants a teamwide shield. Additionally, it recovers 1000 Mana irrespective of mode.

• Artifact – Mimisbrunnr: Lastly her Artifact, another defensive skill, it increases her Max HP considerably, boosting her Passive/Normal Attacks whereas Researcher mode increases ally recovery % and Preservation mode decreases damage received by allies..

Wheri joins the roster as another healer, albeit straying from the conventional offensive nature to that of a pure defensive one. That is where the problem starts; Wheri provides excellent healing and survival capabilities, but that is all she does. This severely limits her usage in the majority of endgame content, namely Raids, which the current offensive healers can sustain teams adequately. Unless there’s a future update increasing the current x999 stack limit, Wheri’s extra defensive kit will see little use and you lose out on tons of potential offensive buffs bar 1 Attack up.

That said, she boasts extremely high healing that has potential use in 5v5 PvE content such as Battlefront or Gates if your team is struggling to survive. 

Investment

• Cultured Users:  Do you even need to ask after looking at that design, and her animations?! Peak MILF.

• New Players: A decent support contender as an Infinite Reroll target alongside Beleth as she heals some and then some more.

• F2P/Casual Players: Having a copy or two wouldn't hurt for some rare extremely hard content devs occasionally drop on us, but otherwise not much usage as of now.

• Dolphins/Competitive Raid Players: So far her only potential usage is in Rudra raid and possibly Pluto raid, where boss hits quite hard and the teams tend to die earlier than clock ends for most players. Eternal + would be a good investment to stop.

• Whales/Rankers: Similar to above.

Team Composition and Synergies

Wheri is an easy character to slot in almost any team comp. If she is the sole supporter, she provides insanely high healing and if she is paired with other supporters she provides considerable shields, damage reduction and resistance increases.

Conclusion

Wheri is very average as things stand, not because of her kit, but because of endgame content game has to offer. The current endgame content is heavily oriented towards offensive healers who maximize damage gains for the teams, compared to Wheri who would shine in content with extremely hard hitting enemies.If someday Guild Raid stack limit is increased from x999 to x9999 or some other higher ceiling, Wheri’s support capabilities could be an unmatched option. Until then however, she will see very rare use in certain ESS/IR content based on debuffs/buffs, some Depths and absolutely looking stunning on your homescreen.
