Basic skills

Since the Cheetah adheres Conservation Paths, his main abilities are aimed at protecting allies from an external threat: both with a technique and an ultimate skill, the character lays shields, the power of which depends on the hero’s defense indicator. The skill, in turn, is able to spread the negative “Freeze” status to the enemy, thus delaying the enemy’s turn for one battle cycle.

Both the first and second features of the character are important in reality turn-based combat. Especially against area attacks, which are wielded by many bosses and elite opponents in both "closed" activities and in the open world. Next, let's take a closer look at how Cheetah's abilities work.

Active skills

• Technics "Partnership»

Using a technique places a shield on all allies at the start of the next fight that can absorb damage equal to 24% (+150 HP) of Cheetah's defense for 2 turns.

• Basic AttackFist of Persuasion»

Deals Ice damage equal to 50% of the Cheetah's attack power to the target enemy.

• Skill "Intimidating Strike»

Deals ice damage to one enemy equal to 100% of Cheetah's attack power and has a base 65% chance to inflict a Freeze debuff on the enemy for 1 turn. The debuffed enemy cannot take actions and will take additional frost damage equal to 30% of Cheetah's attack power at the start of each turn.

• Superpower"Strong Bastion»

Places a shield on all allies that absorbs damage equal to 30% (+150) of Cheetah's defense for 3 turns.

ive skills

• talent"Unchanging Will»

When receiving a finishing blow, the Cheetah does not die. Instead, it immediately restores 25% health. This effect can only trigger once per battle.

The order of leveling abilities

Superpower"Strong Bastion" is main ability Cheetah, which must be active every third turn after the first use of the skill. Being the main defensive skill of the character, its leveling is prioritized over other skills.

Next comes skill «Intimidating Strike”, which can be improved evenly with the ultimate ability, since the negative status of “Freeze” is able to constantly save the squad from powerful blows from opponents inside such demanding activities as virtual universe. Worth doing next talent leveling: Due to its high base taunt, the Cheetah will often be the main target of elite enemies and bosses. Having an upgraded Unyielding Will will help improve overall team survivability.

Basic Attack - not a priority. Basically, Fist of Persuasion will be used to restore skill points, especially at times when the shield from the ult is fully charged and there is no need to freeze the enemies. Up to high ranks, you can refrain from pumping a basic attack for the sake of saving resources.

Tracks

Cheetah's footprints, as an opportunity to further strengthen the character, are divided into the following categories:

Ice Damage Bonus +3,2%
integrity: Cheetah is more likely to be attacked by enemies.	Status Resistance +4%	Ice Damage Bonus +3,2%
Defense +5%
Command: When Unyielding Will is triggered, Cheetah's energy is restored to 100%.	Ice Damage Bonus +4,8%	Status Resistance +6%

Fighting spirit: Cheetah's attack power is increased by 35% of its current defense. This effect refreshes at the start of each turn.	Defense +7,5%
Status Resistance +8%
Ice Damage Bonus +6,4%

In total, the overall increase in characteristics is:

Ice Damage Bonus	+ 22,4 %
Status Resistance	+ 18 %
DEF	+ 12,5 %

Eidolons [Constellations]

All Cheetah eidolons:

The best constellations of Cheetah are E1, E2, E4 и E6.

• Feature first eidolon: Cheetah's Freeze on enemies is a great way to delay an enemy's action for a cycle. The presence of this constellation will increase the chance to spread negative status from 65% to 100%, which is especially good for completing activities such as Oblivion Hall.
• Feature second eidolon: A nice addition to the above constellation, which will help some DPS-characters to be realized on the battlefield. For example, Tribute to Heng, whose ultimate ability deals more damage against slowed enemies.
• Feature fourth eidolon: Effect Resistance is an underestimated stat that is otherwise revealed during combat with serious elite opponents that can impose negative statuses on opponents with personal attacks.
• Feature sixth eidolon: Full leveling of the Cheetah turns an outstanding warrior into a strong "tank", able to protect allies from a fatal blow, focusing the attention of enemies on his person. The presence of this constellation will allow the character to take combat readiness immediately after the first defeat.

Advantages and disadvantages

If we talk about the Cheetah as a character of the Way of Preservation, he, like other heroes, has a number of positive and negative features.

Advantages	Disadvantages
The main "plus" of the Cheetah is that the character puts shields on all allies not only after using superpowers, but also through the use of technology.	Draws the attention of opponents to itself in the case of a pumped "Principle" in the traces, which is why it begins to conflict in units with Clara or, for example, the Pioneer (Fiery).
The skill is able to freeze the enemy, thereby postponing his turn until the next cycle.	It is ineffective against bosses whose attacks can quickly lower the HP of one target: after breaking through the shield, if the Cheetah does not have a superpower, it is extremely difficult to save a vulnerable ally without additional .
Easy to Assemble: The only stats the Cheetah cares about are defense and effect hit. Growth to other stats is useful, but not a priority.
Effectively protects the group both in the early and later stages of mastering the game.

How to play Cheetah

The Cheetah is compatible with most of the heroes in the game, except for those whose skills are aimed at attracting the attention of enemies, since the commander of the Silvermane Guardians begins to cope with this task after learning the Principles in the tracks. Playing as an outstanding warrior has only one goal - the excellent performance of the role.

Despite the fact that Cheetah's mechanics are not that difficult to master, in reality turn-based combat there are moments when the player needs a clear understanding of the sequence of actions taken. The tips below will help you learn when to use certain abilities of the character during the battle.

Rotation

Combat tips if there is a Cheetah in the squad:

1. Before the start of the battle, use the technique "Partnership” to provide allies with a shield after entering the battle.
2. Study the strengths and weaknesses of the enemies. Some enemies (like elite bosses) have high resistance to ice damage, so using the skill against them will be ineffective or simply useless.
3. If the enemy is vulnerable to ice damage, focus on using "Intimidating Strike» against them. Thus, not only impose the negative “Freeze” status, but also quickly fill the scale for the subsequent use of the “Strong Bastion” ultimate ability.
4. If your ultimate is ready to use and your allies' shields are still active, you can opt for a basic attack."Fist of Persuasion" to restore action points for the group.
5. Use your ultimate when your allies' shields are down or the enemy is about to deal devastating damage. Don't use your ult unnecessarily, because "Sturdy Bastion" is powerful, but the only way to "close" the group from damage. Especially if the Cheetah acts as the only defender character in the squad.

Conclusion on the character

The Cheetah is a Legendary-type Preservation Path character that can drop from the permanent Star Jump standard banner. Undoubtedly, he is the best representative of his affiliation, since he imposes shields on all allies not only with superpowers, but also with technology. Does a great job, even when equipped with a rare light cone and medium relics. For the Cheetah, the main thing is protection; the more protection the better.

The ideal option for the hero is the budget “Amber”, which has a 3-star rarity: with the said light cone, Cheetah will be ready to demonstrate high-strength shields that can only be penetrated by a series of consecutive attacks from the enemy. However, even those will be interrupted without any problems by the timely applied negative status “Freeze”. Of course, Cheetah has his own nuances as a hero, but there is no denying the significance of his contribution to the battle both in the early and later stages of the game.
