From early childhood, she received a strict education and underwent constant training, which allowed her to acquire the skills and qualities of the future leader of Belobog. But one day, she had to face the Underworld and terrible conditions, which greatly contrasted with the Aboveground part of the city. This sowed in her mind huge doubts about the knowledge she received during the training process.

How Armor Skills Work

The heroine's skills make her one of the best buffers available in the game. By following the Path of Harmony, she helps the team and strengthens her comrades, increasing the stats needed in battle (attack power, critical and overall damage). This becomes especially important in the later stages of the game, when the difficulty of enemies and gameplay increases.

The main feature of the guard commander is promoting an ally's action. Such mechanics give a huge tactical advantage over any opponent, as it allows you to inflict more damage within one cycle or, for example, heal a squad member in a timely manner.

The order of leveling abilities

Super Ability ≥ Skill > Talent > Basic Attack

In the process of increasing the skill level, we recommend that you adhere to the following order:

• Superpower — the main enhancing skill. The increase in attack power and critical damage of all allies depends on the leveling of the ult.
• Emboldening Salvo - will affect the increase in damage dealt by the selected squad member, which is an equally important source of buffs.
• Talent - Moves the Armor's action forward by a few percent after it makes a normal attack. Allows you to "keep up" with your allies, especially with a low speed indicator.
• Basic Attack - not used often, but due to the trace "Order", which increases the critical chance of a normal hit by 100%, it makes sense to improve it to deal additional damage. It becomes more significant after opening the fourth eidolon.

Tracks

Total amount of increase in stats:

Wind Damage	+ 22,4 %
Critical Damage	+ 24 %
Status Resistance	+ 10 %

Eidolons

All character cons:

number	Name	<font><font>Materials</font></font>
1	Sharpen your strength	When using a skill, there is a 50% chance to restore 1 skill point. The effect cools down in 1 turn.
2	fast march	The ally targeted by the skill gains 30% Speed ​​for 1 turn after the action is performed.
3	Artillery shelling	Superpower level +2. Talent level +2. Max. level: 15.
4	Take the enemy by surprise	After an ally uses a basic attack on an enemy with wind vulnerability, the heroine immediately performs a bonus attack that deals wind damage to the enemy hit equal to 80% of the basic attack's damage. The effect can only be triggered once per turn.
5	We cannot be stopped	Skill level +2. Basic attack level +1. Max. level: 15.
6	Piercing the rainbow	The damage increase from the skill to the selected ally is extended by 1 turn.

Best Armor Eidolons: E1, E2 и E4.

• First eidolon: Provides a skill point boost after using a skill, which will benefit not only the heroine but also the rest of the allies. In a turn-based system, combat power increases greatly if the team performs actions more often than the enemy.
• Second eidolon: Increases the speed of the ally on whom the girl's skill was used. This means that he will be able to start his turn earlier. The bonus is especially relevant for heroes who focus on achieving high speed stats, such as Electric Aglaya.
• Fourth Eidolon: allows the Silver Mane commander to not only restore energy faster, but also deal additional damage. This is made possible by triggering bonus attacks, when one of the party makes a normal strike against an enemy with a wind vulnerability.

How to play Armor

The Silvermane Guard Commander follows the Path of Harmony and specializes in increasing the team's power with his superpower, skill, and technique. At the same time, thanks to the First Trace mechanic, "Order" gains a 100% critical hit chance for the basic attack and can deal decent damage "from the hand" if necessary.

Action points should be distributed organically among all of the squad. However, without a light cone and the first eidolon, it will be difficult to constantly activate abilities without taking skill points from other heroes. Therefore, consider the strength of opponents and the situation on the battlefield - in what situation can you neglect buffs so as not to slow down the pace of the battle and give other characters the opportunity to use skills.

As part of a turn-based battle, each battle requires an individual approach, but there are general recommendations for building an Armor rotation:

1. At the start of the battle, use the technique to instantly grant all allies a bonus 15% attack power for 2 turns.
2. Use the skill on the character who deals the main damage in the squad or other allies if they have any debuffs/need to advance their action to make an additional turn.
3. If you have few skill points left (1-2), you can perform a basic attack instead of a skill to restore points and advance your action. This is also useful in cases where you need to finish off an enemy, break through a vulnerability, or simply reduce his HP.
4. Activate the superpower as energy accumulates. that you don't have to wait until your turn to do this, so you can and should use the ultimate as soon as it is restored.

Conclusion on the character

The armor is considered a universal buffer of the Path of Harmony, which by its presence alone almost completely covers the main damage dealer's need for enhancements, providing many useful buffs. At the same time, it is especially well revealed in combination with other heroes, that is, it is effective in hyper-carry compositions, where damage is inflicted by only one unit.

The character is not demanding in of equipment and copes well with his tasks even with an epic cone. However, with the presence of a signal and the first eidolon, he becomes even better due to the solution of his main problem - the lack of skill points for continuous of bonuses. In any case, if you need to increase the power of the squad to defeat a powerful enemy, the commander Silvermane will be a worthy contender for this role.
