Ms. NewBabel

Short answer: Ms. NewBabel is a 6-Star, Mineral-Afflatus Arcanist who deals Reality damage and works as a DEF, Shield, Ripostle unit. Like every Arcanist, Ms. NewBabel hits harder when you respect the Afflatus wheel, so field Ms. NewBabel where the Mineral advantage actually lands.

Afflatus and Matchups

Ms. NewBabel uses the Mineral Afflatus. That means Ms. NewBabel has the advantage against Beast units and is at a disadvantage into Plant 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

Ms. NewBabel deals Reality damage and is built for DEF, Shield, Ripostle 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 Ms. NewBabel with teammates that cover the roles Ms. NewBabel does not.

Building Ms. NewBabel

Invest in one carry at a time and gear Ms. NewBabel with the best-fitting Psychube you have before spreading materials thin. As a 6-Star Arcanist, Ms. NewBabel 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.
