Analysis

Cocoa has made a fatal blunder, being a B1 unit; Which directly makes her compete against the B1 slot,the slot where Liter reigns in. Being a sniper unit does not help her case as snipers have low energy burst generation outside manual play. She does have some niche scenarios where she can be a sidegrade (Generously saying) for Liter. Even if you don’t have Liter, there are better B1 units to use regarding utility unless you absolutely need the cover repair in a certain stage (Ex, 16-28 or long stages that require sustain). Although she has very interesting niches and tech that you are able to do with her

Campaign

Cocoa has very close to no use in campaign that directly involves her kit, unless you need that extra boost to survivability and you don’t have Liter on stages that demand cover (ex. 16-28 cocytus, 18-33 storm bringer on its QTE AoE attacks), she will most likely not be used. Even on stages with raptures that debuff you with attack down / Def down, it is much more efficient to gun them down instead of using a unit that specializes in cleansing debuffs. Cocoa does not even cleanse binding raptures or blacksmith’s failed QTE attack.

Arena

Cocoa is a sniper, she barely gives burst generation for the team, nor offer anything of substance in arena regarding her kit. There MAY be one instance where she is able to be used, but it is more out of desperation attempts, instead of a consistent win condition. In THEORY, since Cocoa’s burst cleanses around ~1s late, she is able to cleanse privaty stun if you time the window almost perfectly. Further testing is required to prove if this is able to be done. This section will be updated if this theory is proven right or false. Do not use her in arena otherwise, there are better unit alternatives.

Special Interception

There are no debuff specialized bosses in Special interception. Making her essentially mediocre in this game mode. She may have uses against blacksmith due to blacksmith not immediately destroying cover at the start of its interception runs, enabling the ability to recover cover. But do NOT expect a full clear as you will be gimping your DPS as you are required to slot in Dolla for Cooldown reduction; on the b2 slot just to have proper skill rotations, removing a lot of flexibility and utility to the team. Use her only if you are absolutely having trouble living through blacksmith AND do not have Liter; And the user is unable to think about anything else. She can also cleanse chatter-box debuff stacks.

Skills

Her skills are nothing extraordinary. Skill 1 passively recovers cover for ALL allies and cleanses debuffs. her skill 2 gives her damage reduction of effectively 65% around max level at max stacks. This may seem huge, but she does NOT taunt, this leads her to just be the last one standing on the field under a team wipe. her burst cleanses all debuffs after ~1s of activation and debuffs attack of all Raptures in the field by a substantial amount for 10 seconds. However, during testing, I found something interesting; if you are able to click fast enough (like, really fast), you are able to cleanse Privaty Half mag debuff while keeping all the benefits of her full burst buff (attack, reload speed).
