Weapon and Combat Approach

Perlica wields an Arts Unit as her primary weapon, classified as a Caster class weapon. Perlica specializes in Electric arts, using her abilities to apply Electric Infliction and Electrification to enemies on the battlefield. Perlica unleashes bolts of electromagnetic energy through her battle skill that strike enemies in a small area with Electric damage while applying Infliction. Perlica stores electromagnetic energy that she can release to bombard a target, forcibly applying Electrification which increases the Arts damage enemies take. Perlica ultimate ability involves teleporting a massive piece of orbital debris onto the battlefield through Protocol technology, creating a devastating impact that deals massive Electric damage to all enemies in the area.

Perlica approaches combat as a support and damage combination, using her Electric arts to set up conditions for herself and her allies. Perlica applies Electric Infliction as an opener to enable her teammates skills, then follows up with Electrification to increase overall Arts damage output against key targets. Perlica thrives in Electric focused teams where her ability to increase Arts damage taken synergizes with other Electric element operators. Perlica ultimate serves as a finishing move that capitalizes on the Electrification conditions she has established, calling down orbital debris with precision targeting. Perlica combat style reflects her dual nature as both a researcher who developed Protocol-Originium technology and a field operator who puts that technology into practice.
