Overview

Kallen has high damage potential both in her normal attacks and her Charge Attack, but requires some management of Radiant WaveDMG dealt is supplemented based on Radiant Wave lvl / Deals bonus fire DMG for one-foe attacks (Can't be removed)
stacks. Due to its relatively slow gain speed, as well as a fall-off in damage and defense after using her C.A., Kallen can bring out her best potential in medium-length battles.

Synergy

  (if her  Extended Mastery Support SkillBoost to multiattack rate when affected by Fire ATK UpFire ATK is boosted

Gamewith's recommended EMP build for Kallen Kouzuki.

This build aims to maximize her firepower through Critical, C.A. DMG, and C.A. DMG Cap nodes. She has a rather good EMP grid, so the remaining points should be allocated based on personal use.

• To boost multiattack rate (and damage per turn), Double Attack and Triple Attack can each be upgraded to 2★. Her EM Support Skill is a consideration if another party member can consistently provide her with Fire ATK UpFire ATK is boosted
  .
• If you're satisfied with her MA rate (or have it covered through other means), maxing out the last Critical node will help boost her attack damage. In prolonged battles, 1★ in each DEF node can help mitigate her self-debuff.
