Trivia

Skadi is a 6★ Dreadnought Guard who specializes in DPS and Survival. As a Dreadnought Guard, Skadi has high HP and ATK, but low DEF, high attack interval, and can only block a single enemy. Reflecting her physical prowess in the lore, Skadi has one of the higher HP and ATK of any Operators, especially among Guards, though this comes with a cost of high DP cost and somewhat lower DEF relative to other Dreadnought Guards.

Talents

1. Abyssal Predator buffs the ATK of Abyssal Hunters Operators while Skadi is deployed.
2. Swift Action reduces Skadi's redeployment time by 10 seconds.

Skills

1. Swift Strike γ buffs Skadi's ATK and ASPD while active.
2. Wave Strike greatly buffs Skadi's ATK for a period of time after she is deployed.
   • Wave Strike allows Skadi to act as a makeshift Executor Specialist for use in emergencies, which synergizes well with Swift Action.
3. Tidal Elegy greatly buffs Skadi's maximum HP, ATK, and DEF while active.
   • With Tidal Elegy, Skadi is practically unstoppable and can easily defeat any enemy who gets in her way while easily withstanding their attacks.
   • Tidal Elegy has a very high SP cost but also has a high initial SP, so it cannot be used quite often in one operation and should be timed correctly for maximum effectiveness.

Operator Module

Either of Skadi's Operator Modules is mandatory to equip to improve her usefulness and somewhat limited versatility otherwise.

1. The DRE-X Module, No Ending to This Dream, increases the damage dealt by Skadi against enemies that are being blocked to 1.15× in addition to increasing her maximum HP and ATK. Once upgraded, the redeployment time reduction of Swift Action is further increased.
   • With No Ending to This Dream at Stage 3, Skadi has a redeployment time of 40 seconds (36 seconds at Potential 3), which is as fast as an Elite 2 April at Potential 5 and over twice as long as Executor Specialists!
2. The DRE-Y Module, Moist Sword Bag, causes Skadi to survive a fatal hit with fully restored HP once per deployment at which her ASPD is increased by 30 but her maximum HP is reduced by 60% in addition to increasing her maximum HP more than No Ending to This Dream and ATK less than it. Once upgraded, Abyssal Predator also buffs the maximum HP of Abyssal Hunters Operators.

Base skill

Solitude increases Skadi's morale recovery rate by 0.7 per hour while she is resting in a Dormitory. At Elite 2, Solitude becomes Elegy with an increased morale recovery boost of 1/h.

Summary

Skadi is an amazing and one of the best Dreadnought Guard who can easily dispatch priority targets and take everything the enemy can throw at her, even when operating deep behind enemy lines. Truly what one would expect from a bounty "huntress".
