"B" Units
| Beryl | Stars | Tier: FUN (2.5 with SoC) Ascension:✔️ | Rationale |
 | Can Stop | ⭐ | Does her job just fine with some support help |
| Recommended | ⭐ | Beryl stars just boost her MATK% which is great but also boost her RNG lvl2 buffs and nrg buff which really isn't needed when you have a team supporting her so 1 star is pretty good for her |
| Role/Faction |     Magic DPS / Support |
| Reasoning | Beryl used to be a solid unit on release, being the premier magic DPS and firewall applicator. However she has quickly become dated and largely fails to perform as a DPS due to insufficient multipliers, requiring a turn charge on her AoE meteor, low mobility, and awkward activation limitation on “Boom!” that can be bypassed to a limited degree with an Instant trinket but is still too restrictive when many other better options are present. |
| Post Ascension 1 | Just damage pairs well with Luvata. |
| Post Ascension 2 | Aside from a generic damage increase, she now receives a coordinated effect for “Casual Search” and triggers her trait twice to help sustain the costs of triggering the skill. The skill is no longer random, and instead activates in a determined sequence that resets at the end of her turn. Using the skill will also trigger the [Coordinated Response] of allies, meanwhile allies that trigger Beryl’s [Response] will use the “Casual Search” skills. Beryl’s individual strength is not meaningfully improved with this R13, but perhaps for the better, since her kit is largely outdated, meanwhile this R13 effectively tunes in her gameplay to tie in her power and action economy value to other more modern members of SoC. However at a baseline, the skill has a cooldown of 3 turns for a manual activation, so Beryl herself can not trigger other SoC responses frequently without banner, though the skill itself can still be triggered by other SoC allies. Overall, her effective performance is more akin to a T2 with this R13 as a baseline(since even SoC doesn’t care to regularly trigger their responses outside SP Maitha for the most part), but she is still overall a fairly niche unit. When paired in a dedicated response trigger team, her output reaches T2 levels, but this more so a fun gimmick than any representation of her actual value under normal circumstances |
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
| Her default ST skill has a solid multiplier and Armor Piercing built in Can set a wall of fire tiles which is useful for board manipulation. Can freeze an enemy using an rng move. Can give 2 nrg to allies in aoe | NRG recovery from trait is tied to rng so spamming boom boom is hard without support or 5 stars Her AoE nuke requires one turn to charge and stuns her after Terrible mobility and somewhat limited range compared to many other units |
| Skills | Reasoning | |
| Rank 11 |  BOOOOM!!! | Her best dps move |
| Rank 9 |  Bang! | While it doesn't matter much, I will mention Bang unusually does physical damage. I suppose it IS a boulder. Also during downtime its better to maintain range than to be forced within 2 tiles that Scorching Attack demands |
| Rank 7 |   Flaming Meteor Or Try This! | Meteor offers a good amount of potential total damage. Take it if you lack other AoE options. If you lack an NRG battery, “Try This” is a fine option. Note that Flaming Meteor is no longer used once you have Rank 11 BOOOM except in certain situations |
| Rank 5 |  Cutie | Beryl’s only source of damage reduction, and provides a rather respectable amount at that against a common main threat, ranged damage. |
| Rank 3 |  NRG restoration | Always slotted and necessary for her to function with using Boom |
| Rank 1 |  Firewall . | Firewall reduces enemy movement and deals a percentage of their max hp. Useful for tile manipulation. “Luxite Search” should be taken for rank 13 |
