Matilda

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

Afflatus and Matchups

Matilda uses the Star Afflatus. That means Matilda 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

Matilda deals Mental damage and is built for Debuff, DPS 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 Matilda with teammates that cover the roles Matilda does not.

Building Matilda

Invest in one carry at a time and gear Matilda with the best-fitting Psychube you have before spreading materials thin. As a 5-Star Arcanist, Matilda 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.
