Trivia

Exusiai is a 6★ Marksman Sniper who specializes in DPS. As a Marksman Sniper, Exusiai has a range of 3×3 tiles with a 1-tile extension up front which is improved to 3×4 tiles at Elite 1, target aerial enemies over ground ones when attacking, and has good ATK, low attack interval, decent HP and DEF, and low DP cost relative to other Snipers.

Talents

1. Fast Cartridge buffs Exusiai's ASPD.
2. Angel's Blessings slightly buffs the HP and ATK of Exusiai and another random Operator when she is deployed, which remains until Exusiai leaves the map; the buffed Operator is marked by a ray of light and feathers on them.

Skills

1. Charging Mode has offensive SP recovery, where Exusiai attacks in a burst of three slightly stronger hits when charged.
2. Shooting Mode has Exusiai attack in bursts of four hits that deals slightly higher damage from Level 2 while active.
3. Overloading Mode is automatically activated when charged, which has Exusiai attack in bursts of five hits that deals higher damage at Specialization levels with reduced attack interval from Level 4 for a short time.

Do note that while her skills, especially Overloading Mode, allow Exusiai to inflict insane amounts of damage (to the point she can even defeat most bosses on her own if positioned correctly and leveled enough!), there is a noticeable weakness: due to the way damage calculation works in Arknights, Exusiai will only deal scratch damage against enemies whose DEF is above her ATK with her skills, forcing the player to support her with buffers/debuffers. This is especially prevalent in later content where enemies with high (at least 500) DEF are a common sight, though Exusiai can still be useful in bursting down hordes and low-DEF enemies.

Operator Module

The MAR-X Module, Exusiai's Surprise, increases Exusiai's ATK against aerial enemies to 1.1× in addition to increasing her maximum HP and ATK. Once upgraded, Angel's Blessings now apply to two Operators and its buffs are increased at Stage 3.

• Combined with Overloading Mode, Exusiai is able to take on Imperial Artillery Targeteers by herself with Exusiai's Surprise!

Base skill

Penguin Logistics α increases Trading Post order acquisition rate by 20% while Exusiai is assigned to one. At Elite 2, Penguin Logistics α becomes Logistics Expert with an increased order acquisition boost of 35%.

In addition, while Exusiai is in the same Trading Post with Texas and Lappland, Texas' Tacit Understanding which counteracts the increased morale drain rate from her Feud caused by Lappland's presence will kick in, allowing the trio to provide one of the best Trading Post buffs.

Summary

Exusiai is a flexible and, without doubt, the best Marksman Sniper who can easily take on all but the most resilient of enemies, both on the ground and in the air, with sustained or burst DPS alike.

Exusiai is here to kick ass and eat apple pie... and she's out of apple pie.
