Full event details

A cheerful young woman from Shuozhou who has been employed by Yggdrasil for several years. Passionate about metaphysics and feng shui, she claims to be a "Celestial Master." She made her debut as a field agent using the Spindle system, and joined the Heimdall Force after her adventure with the Adjutant.

Weapon: Pistol
Element: Thermal
Role: Ballistic DPS

Standard Skill: Triple Incense

Passive: Bubu does not passively regenerate S-Energy. She enters combat in the [Exorcism] state. Shots fired consume S-Energy to be buffed by [Exorcism], dealing increased Thermal damage, and consumes further S-Energy to ricochet and deal damage to a nearby enemy. Subsequent ricochets deal less damage and consume less S-Energy.

Active: Hold to restore S-Energy. The skill will automatically end once Bubu's S-Energy is full.

Neuronic 1: Reduce this skill's cooldown.
Neuronic 2: Increase the maximum number of ricochets of shots fired.

Support Skill: Ruler's Demise

Bubu deploys the [Five Thunder Formation] at a targeted location, applying Burn to all enemies within it. When other active characters shoot the [Five Thunder Formation], deal additional Thermal damage to all enemies within.

Neuronic 1: Enemies within the area take Thermal damage over time based on Bubu's attack.
Neuronic 2: Increase the duration of [Five Thunder Formation]

Ultimate Skill: Three Treasures' Inheritance

Looks like it doesn't cost U-Energy.

Passive: Bubu passively gains [Mana] stacks over time, which automatically convert to [Magic Seals] upon obtaining enough stacks. Shots fired that are buffed by [Divine Technique: Four Harmonies] from Bubu's Deiwos passive will also provide [Mana] stacks. Bubu will also directly gain a [Magic Seal] stack when an enemy is Stunned or Paralyzed (each enemy can only provide one [Magic Seal] this way).

Active: Consume 1 [Magic Seal] to reload, gain [Divination], and enter the [Demon Slayer] state. While in this state, all shots fired are buffed with [Divine Technique: Eight Wastelands], being guaranteed to critically hit and deal increased damage (this buff also applies to ricochets to other enemies from the shot). Shots fired with this buff also consume less S-Energy to gain [Exorcism] from Bubu's standard skill passive. Bubu will automatically perform a quick reload after firing shots with this effect twice.

While in the [Demon Slayer] state, Bubu cannot gain [Mana] stacks. [Divination] is consumed over time as well as when Bubu fires shots buffed with [Divine Technique: Eight Wastelands]. Bubu will exit the [Demon Slayer] state once she runs out of [Divination].

Neuronic 1: Bubu directly gains a [Magic Seal] stack when an enemy is Stunned or Paralyzed (each enemy can only provide one [Magic Seal] this way).
Neuronic 2: When equipped with a Thermal weapon, Bubu begins combat with a [Magic Seal], and gains another after a period of time.

Deiwos Passive: True Blazing Flame

After firing a certain number of shots, Bubu enters the [Divine Technique: Four Harmonies] state, which allows her to quickly fire a burst of shots (treated as a single shot for Bubu's [Demon Slayer] state quick reload). If there is insufficient ammo loaded to fire the full amount of shots, a special quick reload is performed.

[Divine Technique: Four Harmonies]: Greatly speed up weapon fire rate, but deal reduced final damage, with reduced U-Energy generation and parts break effectiveness as well.

Additionally, Bubu gains extra attack based on her Alignment Index.
