Charlie

Short answer: Charlie is a 5-Star, Star-Afflatus Arcanist who deals Mental damage and works as a DPS, Dispeller unit. Like every Arcanist, Charlie hits harder when you respect the Afflatus wheel, so field Charlie where the Star advantage actually lands.

Afflatus and Matchups

Charlie uses the Star Afflatus. That means Charlie has the advantage against Spirit units and is at a disadvantage into Intellect units. The two element triangles never cross, so plan a small bench around them rather than forcing one team into every stage. The full breakdown lives on the Afflatus system page.

Role and Damage

Charlie deals Mental damage and is built for DPS, Dispeller duties. Reality and Mental are the game's two damage types, and matching your carry's damage type to an enemy's weaker defense is a quiet but real power gain. Pair Charlie with teammates that cover the roles Charlie does not.

Building Charlie

Invest in one carry at a time and gear Charlie with the best-fitting Psychube you have before spreading materials thin. As a 5-Star Arcanist, Charlie is summoned from the gacha, so read the pity system before you spend: a 6-star is guaranteed by 70 pulls and the featured Arcanist is guaranteed within two 6-stars.
