Equipment
New Herrscher enters the battlefield, and she uses all Fu Hua’s millenial experience in martial arts to its fullest. Herrscher of Sentience is a perfect candidate for both Support and Attack roles, so try to choose her equipment wisely depending on her needed position in your team. HoS is a Burst-type Valkyrie who has Impair, Time Mastery and Gather options at her disposal, so she greatly performs with Burst Mode stigmas as well.
