Intro

Makiatto is one of the best single-target DPS in the game and a key member of the Freeze team. Gameplay-wise, Makiatto is a Sniper who sits at the back and destroys one enemy at a time with her massive damage. Her Ultimate allows her to gain a special "counter" that lasts for 2 turns - and the counter is pretty good as it triggers before enemy attacks and against both targeted or AOE attacks (even if those attacks don't target Makiatto). On top of the counter, the Ultimate also grants her a Shield, allowing her to survive more easily.

It's easy to build a team around Makiatto and make her shine even more - Suomi and Dushevnaya are the two key characters you want to pair with her and they do improve her performance considerably. Considering Suomi released just before her, you already have part of her meta team and you know what she does. As for Dush, she's a dedicated support for Freeze characters and she's mainly played in that archetype only, but her biggest issue is that without her dupes, she lags behind other, even more generic supports and only with dupes becomes a powerhouse for the Freeze archetype. So F2P and low spenders most likely won't need to bother with Dush and use another support with Makiatto.

Makiatto's already very strong at V0 and she doesn't require her signature weapon to perform well (the Battle Pass one is more than enough), but her V1 gives her a massive power spike, making her even stronger and only inferior to Qiongjiu with multiple dupes when it comes to single-target damage output. So if you want to invest more into Makiatto and you don't know whether to get a dupe of hers or the signature weapon, the dupe is way more important and more impactful.

As for her downsides, she's not that good on auto-play as ideally, you want to dump all your skill points on the S1 skill after maxing them and the AI doesn't do that - here's how her rotation should look like without Mod Key:

Ultimate > S1 > S1 > S1 > Ultimate > S2 > S1 > S1 > Ultimate...

Also on Global, you won't be able to play her to her full potential as her Mod Key won't be available to us initially and we won't know when it will arrive. So while she will come out of the gate swinging, it will take her some time to reach her full potential as she wants her Mod Key and Suomi+Dush.

Pros & Cons

Pros

One of the best single-target DPS in the game,
Key member of the Freeze team,
Freeze element has a lot of great characters - this further improves Makiatto's performance,
Freeze element also has CC attached to it as it stops enemies from moving,
Her Mod Key grants her an extra action after using Ultimate, giving her even more burst damage,
Has a great V1 dupe that makes her even stronger - a lot of characters have their powerspike locked behind V3 or higher which makes her stand out and easier to invest in to get good returns,
Isn't reliant on her Signature Weapon to perform well,
Maximum tsundere archetype for people who are into that.

Cons

The difference between V0 and V1 is quite big and if you don't get it, you will look with envy at people on your friendlist who have it,
The AI can't use her well as you want to use her S1 consecutively to dump all her skill points once you max them, and AI doesn't play her like that, making her auto-battle powerlevel a bit lower,
She wants a lot of CRIT DMG, but that's a hard stat to get,
Mod Key won't be available in Global for quite some time,
If you hate tsundere, her personality will turn you off.
