【The Witch of Lost Souls】Armstrong Analysis

Heavy Critical Attacker With Damage Multipliers

Skill	Skill Effect
Blitzkrieg Operation	Level 1 (Unlocks by default) Deals 1 physical attack equal to 500% of Armstrong’s ATK to the 2 enemies with the highest ATK.
	Level 2 (Unlocks by level 81) Additionally, if a target is not defeated by this skill, it reactivates (1 reactivation max).
	Level 3 (Unlocks by level 161) The physical attack’s damage becomes equal to 600% of her ATK.

Skill	Skill Effect
Volley Fire	Level 1 (Unlocks by level 11) Deals 6 physical attacks equal to 250% of Armstrong’s ATK to enemies at random. If a target’s remaining HP percentage is 50% or higher, the physical attack’s damage to that target is multiplied by 1.5.
	Level 2 (Unlocks by level 21) Additionally, if a target’s remaining HP percentage is below 50%, the attack to that target is guaranteed to hit.
	Level 3 (Unlocks by level 101) The number of physical attacks becomes 8.
	Level 4 (Unlocks by level 181) If a target’s remaining HP percentage is 50% or higher, the physical attack’s damage to that target is multiplied by 2.

Armstrong is a great (but expensive) DPS who deals heavy hits with her skills. Blitzkrieg Operation scales with Armstrong's ATK stat, and she attacks again if her targets are not defeated the first time around. Volley Fire applies a damage multiplier of up to 2x if the target's HP is at 50% or higher, and a guaranteed hit if their HP is below 50%.

Tough To Kill At The Start, Exchanges Durability For Damage Later

Skill	Skill Effect
Parabellum	Level 1 (Unlocks by level 41) Increases Armstrong’s critical hit damage by 20% (cannot be dispelled).
	Level 2 (Unlocks by level 121) Additionally, at the start of the turn, increases the chance to deal a critical hit of Armstrong and the ally with the highest SPD by 20% for 2 turns. This skill activates 1 time every 4 turns.
	Level 3 (Unlocks by level 201) The increases in Armstrong’s critical hit damage and all targets’ chance to deal a critical hit each become 40%.

Skill	Skill Effect
Elastic Defense	Level 1 (Unlocks by level 61) When Armstrong is attacked, the attack’s damage is cut by 30%. If she attacks and deals a critical hit, the potency of damage cutting decreases by 2%. The potency of damage cutting is further decreased by 2% for each time she deals a critical hit (the potency of damage cutting will not drop below 10%).
	Level 2 (Unlocks by level 141) Additionally, at the start of each turn, if she attacked and dealt a critical hit in the previous turn, this skill increases her ATK by 2% (cannot be dispelled). Her ATK is further increased by 2% for each time she dealt a critical hit (20% max).
	Level 3 (Unlocks by level 221) The damage from the enemy’s attack is cut by 50%. The potency of damage cutting decreases by 2% for each time she deals a critical hit (the potency of damage cutting will not drop below 30%). The amount her ATK is further increased by becomes 3% (30% max).

Armstrong is also unique in that she's like a combination of Florence and Merlyn who can both benefit from dealing with critical attacks and increase the CRIT chance of herself and another ally. Parabellum increases Armstrong's CRIT DMG by 20% and CRIT Chance by up to 40%. The 40% CRIT Chance buff will also go to another ally with the highest SPD.

Her passive skill Elastic Defense meanwhile cuts the damage she receives as well as increases her ATK stat with every critical hit she makes. So the more critical hits Armstrong makes, the tankier and more powerful she becomes.

【The Witch of Lost Souls】Armstrong Best Runes

Give Armstrong PM. Def Break, SPD, CRIT RES, and Debuff RES Runes

【The Witch of Lost Souls】Armstrong Best Team Comps

Chaos Soul Team (PvE)

Attacker	Attacker	Debuffer	Tank / Debuffer	Debuffer
Armstrong	Cordie	Mertillier	Soltina	Nina

Armstrong is an expensive character to build because of her status as a limited SR character, so if you want to put her in your team, she'll most likely be a secondary attacker. On the plus side, she'll be the fastest witch on your team along with Cordie, who she can support with her Parabellum skill. You can eventually replace Cordie with another Chaos soul character like Illya's witch version if you can afford her.

Other party options include Mertillier for her ATK and skill cooldown buffs, Soltina for her Sleep and Faint debuffs, and Nina to steal the enemy's buffs. They can also eventually be replaced with other Chaos or Radiance-soul witches like Ophelia and Lunalynn.
