Why a make-up artist follows Rhodes Island personnel amidst the heat of battle? Good question, glad you asked: Roberta Baker is a Siracusan Anaty who migrated to Columbia with her parents when she was a child. Even though she had an unhappy past when her family was forced to serve a certain Siracusan Mafia famiglia for a living, Roberta managed to become a make-up artist in Wrankwood, the heart of Columbia's film industry. However, as her career was reaching a bottleneck, she struggled hard to find a new, creative way for her skill until she coincidentally met the Doctor during a banquet. Roberta was then employed by R.I.'s Engineering Department where she utilizes "autonomous multirole support devices" dubbed "full-auto modelers" to provide defensive aid for her allies.

Gameplay

Roberta is a 4★ Artificer Supporter who specialized in Defense and Support. Unlike other Supporters, Roberta is a melee Operator who can only be deployed on melee tiles and uses a melee attack that deals Physical damage instead of other Supporters who are ranged Arts units with similar ATK and attack interval as Pioneer Vanguards, which also extends to her stats including a block count of two.

What defines Roberta as an Artificer Supporter is that having her deployed allows the player to deploy Support Devices, which will be elaborated below.

Talent

Modeler Debugging has Roberta use Full Auto Modelers as her Support Device. Roberta has 2 (3 from Elite 1) Modelers available in every deployment, and up to three Modelers can be deployed at a time.

  • The Modeler provides a friendly melee unit with a DEF buff and Shield(s); the DEF buff does not stack if the player deploys multiple Modelers to support one unit, but the Shields can be stacked.

Skills

  1. Siracusan-Style Makeup buffs Roberta's ATK and DEF while active.
  2. Full Auto Modeler disarms Roberta but buffs her DEF and increases her block count by one while active. When Full Auto Modeler expires, one additional Modeler will be given.

Operator Module

The CRA-X Module, Semi-Auto Stylist Toolkit, increases the Modeler's deployment count by 1 and reduces their DP cost by 2 in addition to increasing Roberta's maximum HP and DEF. Once upgraded, the Modelers' DEF buff is increased.

Base skills

  1. Engineering increases the byproduct rate of building material processing by 70% while Roberta is assigned to a Workshop.
  2. Standardization β increases Factory productivity by 25% while Roberta is assigned to one.

Summary

Roberta is a unique introduction to Artificer Supporters who prefers to fight on the lower ground and using her Modelers to augment her allies' defensive capabilities, allowing them to hold the line more effectively.

Beauty is more than skin deep, and Roberta's make-up skills literally (no pun intended) make this happen.
