Schneider

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

Afflatus and Matchups

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

Schneider deals Mental damage and is built for Versatile 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 Schneider with teammates that cover the roles Schneider does not.

Building Schneider

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