Honestly, so long as the core trio work well - preferably with plenty of stuns to make her sustain-job easier - you can get away with having the ANT there, regardless of whether she compliments them or not. I definitely wouldn't take a GR just to have her throw Blight Darts when she has Lunge and TDagger on the table. Having said all that, you could probably make ANT-PD-ABM-SHB work, but it's not how I'd go about it. An ShB would rather be Piercing, and an ABM would be better served stunning. GR is not a great dedicated blighter when considering the rest of her kit. PD is a force all by herself and doesn't really need help. Having both provides Guard and Inverse-Guard, but they don't overlap, and there shouldn't be scenarios where you're using both those skills together.ĭespite the fact that she has a blight-res-strip, blight-comps simply aren't a patch on bleed-comps. Some would say MAA, but that only applies if you're going for a dodge-strat, which I'd avoid like the plague outside of endless mode, and I avoid it even there. As a main-healer, she would need to be in R4 or R3 almost exclusively, which is something the HWM can help with (and has no noteworthy positional restraints, making him easy to fit into an above-mentioned trio). The only real synergy is Riposte (HWM) as her Protect Me can provide him with a little defensive pep and give him a higher chance of capitalizing on it. Instead, you form a strong trio and ensure that the ANT (as the spare wheel) doesn't make their life harder.

hence nobody really synergizes with her in the right way).

It seems like nobody capitalizes on her skillsĪt the end of the day, she was intentionally designed to be a weak combatant who you take along for gold primarily, hence you don't build comps around her as a core (ie.
