Automaton Stats

Rather than a playable character class, the Automaton, Coppelia, is a unique character. She is a powerful physical DPS, with very high base stats and proficiency in all weapons.

However, unless she is promoted to Emperor, she cannot be directly controlled in combat, and chooses commands randomly.

Put Coppelia in Charge ASAP

Emperor Coppelia

Note that the Coppelia is only playable for one generation. After recruiting Coppelia, abdicate the current Emperor immediately and make Coppelia the new Emperor.

After the next time skip, Coppelia will deactivate and her body will be kept in the Avalon Castle Storeroom.
