Marian – Riptide Character Preview

by

As a seasoned gamer with years of battlefield experience under my belt, let me tell you, the arrival of Marian in the game is nothing short of a game-changer! I’ve seen my fair share of characters, but this girl with her Chaos-wielding exosuit, Yggdrasil’s masterpiece, has truly caught my attention.

Names and details are subject to final EN localization and changes.

While you’re here, have you heard that she’s getting an interactive scene?

Full event details

A suit designed by Yggdrasil, known as Marian’s exosuit, was created following research on the Awakening Dust found in Woden’s remains. This innovative suit has allowed Marian to break free from emotional restraints that previously held her back.

Weapon: Shotgun
Element: Chaos
Role: Sub-DPS (Skill Damage)

Standard Skill: Sea Skirmish

The essence of this item hints at a pastime related to angling, but I found it challenging to find a suitable translation without sounding overly childish.

Marian equips a “Sea Beast Publication,” loading it with specific ammunition. This ammunition, when discharged, produces “Raucous Beast Howls” bullets that inflict “expertise damage.” As Marian fires these “Raucous Beast Howls” bullets, her rate of fire accelerates, and the “Raucous Beast Howls” ammo is prioritized over regular ammunition.

Support Skill: Siren Song

Once Marian uses this ability, she’ll stick around on the battlefield without being replaced automatically.

Every time a teammate uses their regular ability, Marian collects [Melody] stacks. Furthermore, Marian accumulates [Melody] stacks each second when the team is engaged in battle, provided that Marian is not currently the active operative.

Passive: When sufficient [Melody] stacks accumulate, Marian automatically loads more [Beastly Roar] ammunition into her [Sea Beast Magazine], transforming herself into an active operative.

Ultimate Skill: Marine Magma

Active: The [Color Wave] effect is applied to all squad members, enabling them to bypass a certain amount of the enemies’ elemental resistance when dealing skill damage.

Passive: A Tide Bomb, causing Chaos damage, is detonated by Marian, resulting in several successive explosions whose range expands with each blast.

Deiwos Passive: Convergent Evolution

When wielding a Chaos weapon, boost the regular damage output of every team member’s skills. The enhancement increases based on the Alignment Index.
