Fraux/Strategy

Strengths

• Boosts the party's damage by a flat 10% against enemies with Nightmare ScarletDMG taken is boosted
  Local status effect.
• Has a potent healing skill that can reach 4800 HP every 5 turns without external support.
• Able to extend the duration of Local Debuffs and is currently the only character with the ability to do so.
• Provides other team utilities in the forms of Dispel, debuff removal, and can prevent the enemy from attacking.

Weaknesses

• She needs to activate  Strength UprightWhen Switching to Main Ally: Fraux gains Solid FortitudeDamage skills activate twice (Can't be removed)
  Duration: Indefinite.
  (Can't be reactivated.) to be able to perform well.

Frontline Fighter

When used as a frontline unit, Fraux wants  Strength UprightWhen Switching to Main Ally: Fraux gains Solid FortitudeDamage skills activate twice (Can't be removed)
Duration: Indefinite.
(Can't be reactivated.) activated due to the lack of effectiveness of her base skills. A sacrificial character is recommended to switch her from the backline to the frontline which allows you to take advantage of her utility as early as possible.

All of her skills can be used offensively or defensively depending on the situation.

Backline Supporter

Fraux is effective even in the backline. She can support the party by extending all local debuffs inflicted by Fire units. If an ally is knocked out, Fraux will then be able to join the fight and do what is mentioned in the Frontline Fighter section.

Gain 10% ATK Up (Stackable / Max: 60%)ATK is boosted (Stackable / Can't be removed)

Restore all allies' HP based on damage dealt (Healing cap: 2000) and remove 1 debuff., she works especially well with Stamina-based setups. Because of her ATK Up (Stackable)ATK is boosted (Stackable / Can't be removed)
, she hits hard even with Enmity setups. Weapons that boost the Skill Damage Cap (e.g. Ultima Weapons, Dark Opus Weapons, Ushumgal) immensely helps Fraux's damage output since a lot of her damage come from skills.
