Review

Kloss is an absolute powerhouse debuffer, having a wide arsenal of crippling afflictions. Her unique debuff [Hacking Progress] stacks up to 3 times, each stack increasing the enemies’ damage taken by 5% and reducing their damage dealt by 10%. When 3 stacks are reached, the [Hack In!] debuff is applied, bringing the values to 25% damage increase and 40% reduced damage dealt (and it can’t be cleansed).

Basically, she can not only increase the damage enemies take but also reduce their outgoing damage. This is a really powerful combination that makes PVE content easier if you decide to use her.

Her S2 also has a chance to apply [Hacking Progress] to all enemies, while having an 80% chance to steal the target’s turn meter and redistribute it evenly between allies. When it comes to her S3, it can apply a [DEF-] and a [SPD-] in an AOE manner, while also applying stacks of [Hacking Progress] (2 on the primary target, 1 on the other targets).

All this considered, she ends up lowering the enemies’ damage dealt, increasing the DMG they take through 2 different debuffs, and lowering their SPD. This makes her a force to be reckoned with.

With so many diverse and powerful debuffs, Kloss can synergize with a lot of other characters - she's a plug-and-play character that helps the team with her debuffs no matter the content (well, avoid playing her against Reason enemies due to her element).

Pros & Cons

Pros

3 powerful debuffs in one skill,
Very versatile - can be slotted into any team,
Can also steal turn meter.

Cons

Has some ramp-up time when it comes to her unique debuff.

Best Builds (Generic)

Jackal Guard

Widely used and incredibly potent all-around supportive option, granting a 25% gauge boost on use as well as [SPD+] boost with 100% uptime. It also deals decent damage when used. Possesses most of the best supportive matrixes, further adding to its flexibility and wide use cases. Loses most of its value when used in teams that already have a team member granting the [SPD+] buff with good uptime.

A top tier option for Kloss when played in teams that don't already have easy access to a Speed buff from characters like Lily. This will allow Kloss to cycle much more quickly while also having excellent Speed based Matrix Set options. However, this Shell loses much of its potency if its Speed buff is already provided for.

Best Module Sets:

Slot 1:
Swiftrush [12/12]
>
Timeweave [12/12]
Slot 2:
Timeweave [8/12]
>
Swiftrush [8/12]
Slot 3:
Swiftsmite [6/6]

Codex of Magic

An absurdly strong combo Shell that allows the wearer to skip the cooldown of the ability used on the turn this Shell is active. The wearer can use their ultimate or skill twice back to back, unlocking usually impossible personal and team combos. Also grants the wearer a 10% SPD boost after use for 2 turns. Mainly used in PvE burst/combo compositions or PVP. Can be used on both Supports and DPS situationally.

Allows Kloss to use her S3 back to back allowing for better uptime on her most powerful debuffs in short fights making it a top option in those situations. Less powerful in longer fights.

Best Module Sets:

Slot 1:
Swiftrush [12/12]
Slot 2:
Bulwark [8/8]
>
Strive [8/8]
Slot 3:
Swiftsmite [6/6]
>
Swiftraid [6/6]

Dark Moon

A strong supportive option for debuff-focused characters. On use, the Shell grants 50% Effect ACC and causes any non-control and non-DoT debuffs applied during the turn it's activated to be extended by one turn. This shell also deals a non-negligible amount of damage with its 2 hits on use. A top choice for any character looking to improve uptime and accuracy for their debuffs.

An alternative Shell option for extending Kloss's initial S3 debuffs to Codex of Magic while also granting her a nice chunk of damage and some additional EFF ACC%. Unfortunately after the initial S3 use will fall out of sync with it causing the Shell to be triggered on other abilities reducing some of it's power in longer fights.

Best Module Sets:

Slot 1:
Swiftrush [12/12]
>
Timeweave [12/12]
Slot 2:
Timeweave [8/12]
>
Strive [8/8]
>
Swiftrush [8/12]
Slot 3:
Swiftsmite [6/6]

Artisan

Grants the wearer 700 DEF for 2 turns, as well as applying a sizable shield to an ally for 2 turns. It has a 1-turn initial cooldown, but after that, it will maintain the 700 DEF buff 66% of the time and keep the shield active often. Primarily used on dedicated DEF scalers.

If you're ok giving up some Speed options and more ability focused Shells, Artisan can also be a good defensive alternative. Use DEF% bonuses wherever possible when using this shell.

Best Module Sets:

Slot 1:
Swiftrush [12/12]
Slot 2:
Timeweave [12/12]
