, CharmedAttacks are slightly limited
, a dispel and Dark DEF DownDEF is lowered for dark DMG

, as well as her passive giving her various attack specs and bonus damage consistently.

Overall, Vania is a very potent character after her 5★, and definitely a consideration to be used in many team compositions. Her major issue is the long cooldown and relatively short duration times, but with the fairly high numbers and basically a infinite uptime on her support skill, that is not a great issue at all. She fulfills in the main attacker role in a dagger proficient team, and can capitalize in the various buffs such a setup provides with her Damage Cap and Bonus Damage effects.
