Skills & Role Summary
Fadia is a Psyche Tank/Cycle character who anchors Blossom reaction teams by charging the Esper Cycle meter faster than any other unit. Her Skill creates a Psyche barrier that absorbs damage and converts incoming hits into Cycle meter fill — the more she tanks, the faster your team's Ultimates become available. Her Ultimate releases stored Cycle energy as AoE Psyche damage and grants the team a shield based on her HP. The core loop is: Skill to absorb hits → build Cycle meter → Ultimate for shield + damage → swap to DPS for Blossom burst during the meter window. She pairs best with Anima characters like {character:nanally} for Blossom reactions, and her Cycle charging makes her the premier Esper Cycle enabler in the game.

Recommended Teams
