> honestly so fed up with my Ellen hitting like a wet noodle on Shiyu Defense floor 7. Saw this earlier and wanted to jump in because I was in the same spot until like three hours ago... super happy with how mine is performing now tho. Beyond the special, you really gotta look at her Chain Attack and Ultimate levels. I spent some time checking the frame data and scaling on the Prydwen ZZZ guides and realized I was completely neglecting the burst damage during stun phases. I shifted my focus to leveling her Ult and the difference is night and day, no complaints at all now. It basically doubles down on those Flash Freeze charges you get from the dash attacks. Also, if you can swing it, getting Hoyoverse Deep Sea Visitor S-Rank W-Engine makes the whole kit feel way more fluid because of that massive crit buff. Just keep an eye on your energy regen stats so you can actually spam that Ult when the boss is down... helps a ton. Good luck with the reset!

Re: "Max her Core Skill and EX Special ASAP!..."

• I totally get the rush to max those out, but honestly, as someone whos always low on dennies and mats, I had to be way more stingy. I was struggling with floor 7 too until I stopped trying to force everything to level 11. I found that getting her Ultimate to level 8 or 9 was actually the turning point for me. It basically acts as a massive nuke when the boss is stunned and it felt way more cost-effective than dumping everything into just one skill. I actually ended up using HoYoverse Zenless Zone Zero Inter-Knot Membership just to bridge the gap for some extra stamina to farm. Just focus on getting her Ultimate and Dodge Counter to a decent level first, it really helps with the damage windows... plus it saves your sanity when youre broke and the reset is tomorrow.

Max her Core Skill and EX Special ASAP! Dont waste mats on basics... the ice dmg bonus is just amazing. She is gonna shred everything now, ngl I love it!
