Astraea Pecorine

Astraea Peco Character Reference

Astraea Peco feels like a re-imagining of Princess Peco as a modern Character. She has a lot of utility for Fire Physical teams and fulfills the role of "Super Tank" for them. You're going to want her.

Besides doing all the standard Super Tank things like tanking (obviously), Buffing and healing your team, Debuffing the nearest Enemy's Damage output, and shredding the nearest Enemy, Astraea Peco has a few more unique mechanics to go over. She introduces Damage Reduction, which is different from the percentage-based Damage Cut we are used to with characters like Ameth. I think Damage Reduction just reduces the final Damage you take by a flat amount, but I don't have confirmation for this. It applies to the whole team, so it might keep your squishies like Isla alive a little longer. The amount is only 2500, so I'm not sure how much it will matter.

Astraea Peco gains extra effects on all her skills after she uses UB 4 times: her Skills will always Crit, S1 starts Ignoring 50 Physical Defense and heals herself, and Damage Reduction doubles from 2500 to 5000. The Crits will make her more consistent against higher level Bosses, like in Clan Battle. It shouldn't take that long to get to 4 UBs, since Fire Physical Teams tend to have a lot of TP generation.

Despite being a Super Tank, she isn't a slouch when it comes to Damage output either; Astraea Peco boasts a very powerful UB, a 2x Damage Calculation S1, and Damage Boost for herself (she gains +30% Damage per Damage Calculation, up to 1,500,000). She also has a passive counterattack that activates any time she takes Damage, which heals her for 10% of her max health when she's below 50%.

If you looked over her Skills already, you might have thought she looks like she could be good in PvP for stall teams and chonky attackers. I think so too, but I would not recommend pulling her for PvP reasons.

She's safe to go up to Rank 40-3 for you gear min-maxers out there.

• PriFes

Pros:

• Fire Physical's Super Tank
• Much better than Summer Nea
• Seems to have good PvP potential
• Bonds give HP

Cons:

• May be inferior to Kanon, if Kanon can survive

Recommendation: High priority. The Super Tanks have all proven extremely useful, and I don't think Astraea Peco is an exception. This PriFes is also a Prize Gacha with a lot of goodies like Memory Shards, Heart Shards and Connect Coins. The only thing that might screw you over is that NY.Peco Bonds give TP, and if you don't have her, eventually some Astraea Peco Timeline is bound to be bricked for you. I think this is minor, and you shouldn't factor it in to your decision to pull.

You could try to argue that because Kanon exists, Astraea Peco may not see as much use as some of the other Super Tanks, but I don't think that's a great reason to skip. Astraea Peco also isn't Multi-Target, but I don't think that's a major knock against her priority. You should really get her unless you just can't.

Oh, and set Muimi as the Character to receive Shards for while you pull Astraea Peco. You'll get 200 Shards for Astraea Peco when you pull her, and the Prize Gacha Shards will get you closer to Muimi's UE1SP.
