CharlieBuild and Guide

Introduction

Charlie is a 5✦ rarity character from the Star afflatus who deals Mental damage and belongs to the Damage class.

Charlie gains buffs and deals more damage by keeping her HP at certain thresholds. Her Portray 3 raises the HP threshold required for [Tempest to Thee!] to deal extra damage from 50% to 80%, making her a lot more comfortable to play. A competent damage dealer with access to dispel on ultimate, Charlie performs best at high Portrays and works well with sustains who can keep her at her desired HP thresholds.

Charlie is a Star-afflatus DPS who relies on keeping her HP within a certain interval to deal more damage. At base, [Tempest to Thee!] deals more damage below 50% HP; at Portray 3, that threshold is increased to 80% HP. Her Insight III passive grants 20% DMG Bonus for staying above 50% HP, so ideally you'll want to keep Charlie around 50–80% HP.

At 50% HP or below, Charlie gets DMG Taken Reduction and Critical DEF for the round from her Insight I passive. Combined with her Insight III passive, this means that Charlie is always in a [Stats Up] status no matter how much HP she has. This is very important since [Thunder to Thee!] requires a [Stats Up] or [Pos Status] to deal more damage.

Her ultimate [I Stand Alone on the Stage] dispels all [Stats Up], [Pos Status], and [Counter] from the enemy and deals decent AoE damage.

At launch, Charlie was one of the best Star-afflatus damage dealers; nowadays, the Star afflatus is populated with Eureka, FUA, and crit-based characters. While her multipliers are still decent, her lack of clear archetypal synergy and low Critical Technique mean that Charlie has been lagging behind in the raw numbers race. On top of that, her HP-balancing mechanic doesn't synergize well with certain high-powered sustains. Her reliance on Portray 3 also makes her very difficult for new players to pick up as a temporary DPS before they acquire a better one. The dearth of bells and whistles in Charlie's kit also means she's basically stuck using Fragment Shop psychubes from Version 1.0. Admittedly, her lack of dependency on other units does make her a bit easier to slot into a generic team compared to the newer, hyper-synergistic units.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Good damage for a 5* DPS
Quite self-sufficient; grants herself DMG Bonus at >50% HP and defensive buffs at <50% HP
Has periodic access to mass dispel through her ultimate

Cons

Synergizes awkwardly with crit-oriented units due to her low Critical Technique
Synergizes awkwardly with +DMG Dealt and +DMG Taken Reduction buffers due to her Insight passives overlapping with them
Struggles to output competitive DMG compared to newer Star-afflatus DPS characters
Relies on P3 to make her HP-balancing mechanic work
Synergizes very poorly with many sustains because they heal too much

Overall

Resonance Builds

Build 1 - Charlie – Max DMG

Level

R10 - Genuinity (Incantation Might/Penetration Rate)

Code

AvgkNAU5AjsTJQAtRC1CLUAmUDxjPDA0EQ

Prioritizes ATK and DMG Bonus to maximize Charlie’s damage output. Genuinity’s Incantation Might and Penetration Rate help to balance out Charlie’s naturally high DMG Bonus.

If you don’t have Resonance Patterns unlocked, try this build with Placidity:

Build 2 - Charlie – Full Crit

Level

R10 - Genuinity (Incantation Might/Penetration Rate)

Code

Avg0LVQpBS0DJAAtECYgQRNCJDgyPGFKYEFBREA

Prioritizes Critical Rate and Critical DMG. Unlike her Star afflatus colleagues, Charlie actually has a really low base Crit Technique. Unless you have a good crit buffer, running Charlie on a crit-based build is not recommended.

If you don’t have Resonance Patterns unlocked, try this build with Placidity:

Psychubes

Hopscotch

Brave New World

His Bounden Duty

For Rehabilitation

A Satisfied Eater

Comments

Hopscotch and, to a lesser extent, Brave New World both grant Incantation Might and Ultimate Might. His Bounden Duty has great base ATK and DMG Bonus.

As a Star-afflatus unit with only 1-target incantations, Charlie can reasonably stack up For Rehabilitation for its 24% DMG Bonus. The 16% Critical Rate is kind of wasted on her low Critical Technique, though.

A Satisfied Eater is Charlie's anecdote psychube and gives her a damage boost for staying below 80% HP.

Note that despite having Charlie's face on it, Thunderous Applause is not very good for Charlie because of her low Critical Technique.
