Strengths
- Prune is one of the strongest universal ATK buffers in the game, providing a massive team-wide damage increase through her ATK-scaling buffs.
- As an Anemo support, she can utilize Viridescent Venerer, allowing her to provide powerful resistance shred while also enabling Swirl-based reactions.
- Prune is an extremely easy to play, with a simple rotation that requires minimal field time while still providing consistent buffs and off-field utility.
- Prune synergizes exceptionally well with ATK-scaling DPS characters, making her a highly flexible support option across a wide range of team compositions.
Weaknesses
- While Prune provides strong buffs, her personal damage is a very low, meaning her overall value depends heavily on the strength of her teammates.
- Prune requires high ATK investment to maximize her buffs, which can make her more demanding to build compared to other supports.
- Her reliance on Swirl means she is less effective in teams where consistent elemental application is not available.
- Prunes full potential is best realized in Hexerei teams, making her slightly less optimal in non-Hexerei compositions.
