Pickles

Short answer: Pickles is a 6-Star, Mineral-Afflatus Arcanist who deals Mental damage and works as a DPS, Support, Dispeller unit. Like every Arcanist, Pickles hits harder when you respect the Afflatus wheel, so field Pickles where the Mineral advantage actually lands.

Afflatus and Matchups

Pickles uses the Mineral Afflatus. That means Pickles 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

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

Building Pickles

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