Below, you will find the support DPS builds for Rina as of the ZZZ 1.0 release. Rather you are a F2P player or a spender, this guide is for you! *Note that these builds assume base talent level.


Overview

Available on the standard banner, Rina, a maid apart of Victoria Housekeeping, is an S rank agent who deals ranged strike (physical) and electric damage with the use of her two puppets Drusilla and Anastasia. Rina is unique in the fact that instead of running on the ground like every other agent thus far, she floats, and has a very wide dodge, making it easy for her to play keep away from her enemies and poke them from a safe distance to apply massive electric and shock damage.

In my opinion, her kit is built around utility for an electric based team by offering buffs to the team when her puppets are out on the field, thus, I recommend building her as a support DPS. With all that said, this guide will cover the best W-Engines, Disc Drives, Stats, Skills, Bangboo, and Teams for Rina!


W-Engines

S - Weeping Cradle

⭐ PEN Ratio

  • While off-field, Energy Regen increases by 0.6/0.75/0.9/1.05/1.2 per second
  • Attacks from the equipper enhance the squad's DMG against a struck target by 10/12.5/15/17.5/20% for 3 seconds. During this period, this effect is further increased by 1.7/2/2.5/3/3.3% every 0.5s, up to a maximum additional increase of 10.2/12/15/18/19.8%. Repeated triggers only refresh its duration without refreshing the DMG increase effect. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
  • Currently the only S Rank Support W-Engine, but is also Rina's main W-Engine.
  • Pen Ratio is Rina's most important stat as her passive scales off it, making her entire team have their Pen Ratio increase.

A - Slice of Time

⭐ Pen Ratio

  • Any squad members' Dodge Counter, EX Special Attack, Assist Attack, or Chain Attack respectively generates 20/23/26/29/32 (Dodge) | 25/28.5/32/35.5/40 (Special) | 30/34.5/39/43.5/48 (Assist) | 35/40/45/50/55 (Chain) more Decibels and generates 0.7/0.8/0.9/1/1.1 Energy for the equipper. This effect can trigger once every 12s. The cooldown for each type of attack is independent of others. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.
  • Pen Ratio is Rina's most important stat as her passive scales off it, making her entire team have their Pen Ratio increase.

A - Unfettered Game Ball

⭐ Energy Regen

  • Whenever the equipper's attack triggers an Attribute Counter effect, all squad members' CRIT Rate against the struck enemy increases by 12/13.5/15.5/17.5/20% for 12s. The bonuses triggered by the same type of passive effects do not stack.
  • Rina triggers a lot of Attribute Counters thanks to her constant electric attacks, making this a constant up time to boost critical hit chance for your entire team.

Disc Drives + Stats

Option 1 - "Maid Service"

(2) Increases Pen Ratio by 8%.

Main stats: IV. Anomaly Proficiency | V. PEN Ratio | VI. Anomaly Mastery

Sub stats in order of priority:

1. Anomaly Prof | 2Pen | 3. ATK % | 4. Crit Rate or Crit DMG.

This is the optimal support build for Rina, ensuring that she can buff the team's damage after executing a chain or ultimate. In addition, it maximizes her Pen Ratio to provide the team with the highest Pen Ratio possible through her core passive.


Option 2 - "Static Steward"

4 Piece Freedom Blues

(2) Increases Anomaly Proficiency by 30.

(4) When an EX Special Attack hits an enemy, reduce the targets Anomaly Buildup RES to equippers attribute by 20% for 8s. This effect does not stack with others of the same attribute.

2 Piece Swing Jazz

(2) Energy Regen increases by 20%.

Main stats: IV. Anomaly Proficiency | V. PEN Ratio | VI. Anomaly Mastery or Energy Regen

Sub stats in order of priority:

1. Anomaly Prof | 2Pen | 3. ATK % | 4. Crit Rate or Crit DMG.

This is Rina's go to build if you're not using Freedom Blues on another unit on your team, as this will allow your other electric unit(s) or Rina herself to more easily apply shock upon using her EX Special attack.


Skill Priority

ALWAYS PRIOIRITZE CORE SKILL FIRST!!!

1. This is Rina's main source of damage, so make sure this is your top priority.

2. As Rina is mostly an off field support, this basic attack will not be used much, but still much higher on the priority list than the ones below.

3. This does some okay daze damage, but is little priority to upgrade.

4. This attack has small range and will likely not be used that often compared to your other team's ultimate's, but the chain attack does decent enough damage to push this from being 5th priority.

5. Rina is primarily an off field support thanks to her puppets, so her dodge will barely be used, making this bottom priority.


Bangboo

S - Plugboo

Key Trait - When there are 2 or more Electric Attribute characters in your squad: Bangboo Chain Attack inflicts 100% more Anomaly Buildup.

Since you should always be running Rina with at least one other Electric character, this Bangboo makes it much easier to apply shock.

S - Butler

Loading...
If you see this for too long, please disable AdBlock and try to reload the page...

Key Trait - Increases Energy Regen Rate of Victoria Housekeeping Co. Agents by extra 20% if you have at least 2 Victoria Housekeeping agents in the squad.

As Rina is a member of Victoria Housekeeping Co, Butler gives her and her team an additional 20% energy regen if you have at least one other Victoria Housekeeping agent with her. This is extremely helpful, with the combination of Butler, W-Engine bonuses and stats, you should easily be able to get Rina to reach peak energy regen for faster ultimate rotation.

A - Electroboo

Loading...
If you see this for too long, please disable AdBlock and try to reload the page...

Key Trait - When there are at least 2 Electric Attribute characters in your squad: Bangboo Chain Attack inflicts 60% more Anomaly Buildup.

A weaker version of Plugboo, but with Grace, this Bangboo will still up your shock efficiency by a giant percentage.


Optimal Team Comp

This team consisting of Rina, Grace, and Anton ensures perfect electricity synergy between all involved by checking off all the requirements in their Core Skill Additional Ability. For Rina, when there are at least 2 electric or Victoria Housekeeping agents, it increases the duration of Shock inflicted on enemies by any character by 3s. When Shocked enemies are on the field, all squad members' Electric DMG increases by 15%, making her an amazing agent for an electric focused team.


Overall Thoughts

Rina is a unique agent who offers both utility in her passives, as well as massive burst damage potential when everything is lined up. Getting the coordination down might take a bit of practice, but what I recommend is that you get your other electric agents cause enough impact damage to daze, chain attack into Rina, and use her special (then ultimate if she has it. This sequence checks off all the prerequisites for her core skills / passives and gets you in the situation to apply heavy damage with Rina.

Overall, if you want an optimal electric / shock support DPS with a unique playstyle that works perfectly with the team I highlighted above, I recommend Rina. However, if she is relegated to the standard banner only, I wouldn't worry about gunning for her until she's featured, unless you're a whale, of course.
