LucyBuild and Guide

Introduction

Lucy is a 6✦ rarity character from the Intellect afflatus who deals Reality damage and belongs to the Damage class.

A powerful limited DPS, Lucy gains universal afflatus advantage through her Ultimate's [Pragmatist] status. Lucy generates [Dynamo] when she or other allies gain moxie, when allies gain Eureka, and when an enemy is defeated; her Ultimate also loads ammunition that generates additional [Dynamo] before attacking. Whenever she reaches 20 [Dynamo], Lucy gains [Advancement], which allows her to reinforce her incantations and Ultimate. Her incantations consume [Dynamo] to deal extra damage or target more enemies. She works well with characters who can consistently generate Moxie or Eureka.

Review

How does one play Lucy? The answer to this is: who cares, because in the time it took you to ask that, she already killed everyone and is sweeping the floor clean. Lucy is a very simple damage dealer. A majority of the text in her kit is either dedicated to telling you what her upgraded skills do or extra nonsensical effects that were added just to make her more powerful than she already was. Press buttons, enemies take damage, gain [Dynamo], press them again, they die. Upgrade skills? Now the enemies die faster. She does have some interesting things about her, though. “Conservation of Energy” triggering primarily on enemy kills means she'll be more suited for either multi-wave stages or Raids with additional mobs (Gorgon, Isle Master, Gold). Lucy also has some interesting synergies with Arcanists that gain Moxie or Eureka quickly. In addition, once upgraded, “Conservation of Energy” straight up bypasses [Dodge] and stops triggering [Counter] effects, which further opens up her usage even in pesky fights where [Dodge] is present. On the other hand, it also counts as a rank 2 Incantation, meaning that it helps characters who feed off of that such as Mercuria with her [Cosmic Energy] Now, we have characters that can output a lot of multi-target damage, so what sets Lucy apart? Not much besides her sky-high numbers, however, she has access to [Pragmatist], which is the first known instance of a character being able to completely bypass the Afflatus chart and force her own Afflatus Advantage. This means that no matter what content you slot her into, she will function, do a lot of damage, and overall just steamroll the content with minimal effort. In terms of generalist Damage Dealers, Windsong is the only one capable of rivaling her at the time of writing this.

Pros & Cons

Pros

One of the best multi-target Carries in the game, but also doesn't slack on single-target output.
Extremely versatile in teambuilding and content applicability due to forcing Afflatus Advantage and a fairly gimmick-free kit.
Technically self-sufficient in her needs; can self-trigger [Advancement], self buff with [Data Iteration] and [Pragmatist], ridiculously high Critical Technique, etc.
Extremely easy to play.

Cons

Putting anything here would be either disingenuous or cherry-picking weaknesses that realistically only minimally affect her.
True Limited (FOMO) character.
