Rapunzel: Pure Grace is worth building as a low-cost defensive support, but you should not invest heavy resources or level 10 skill manuals into her. She provides team-wide barriers and healing that scale with her maximum HP, making her a practical filler for Pilgrim Tower and secondary Solo Raid teams. However, because she provides no offensive attack buffs and completely lacks Burst cooldown reduction (CDR), your high-tier Pilgrim skill books are far better spent on premier damage dealers.
Recommended Skill Breakpoints
Rapunzel: Pure Grace operates effectively without heavy skill book commitments. Stop at one of two distinct investment tiers depending on your account progression:
| Skill | Budget Level | High-End Level | Primary Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skill 1 | Level 4 | Level 7 | Dictates baseline barrier generation and defensive uptime. |
| Skill 2 | Level 4 | Level 7 | Enhances passive survivability and defensive thresholds. |
| Burst Skill | Level 4 | Level 7 | Increases barrier absorption against synchronized boss attacks. |
Budget Target: 4/4/4
Leaving all skills at Level 4 requires minimal skill manuals while unlocking the full functional mechanics of her kit. This configuration generates enough barrier health to keep teams alive through early-to-mid Pilgrim Tower floors and interception farming.
Optimization Cap: 7/7/7
Upgrading to Level 7 across all skills strengthens barrier absorption for multi-team content. This should serve as your absolute stopping point. Taking any of her skills to Level 10 provides diminishing returns and wastes scarce Pilgrim manuals that yield significantly higher value on carries like Scarlet: Black Shadow, Cinderella, or Modernia.
Gear Priority and Overload Attributes
Standard Tier 9 Manufacturer gear is sufficient for general utility. If you choose to upgrade her gear to Overload, focus strictly on defensive scaling rather than offensive attributes. Her barrier values scale directly from her own maximum HP.
- Armor Piece Priority: Upgrade the chest and head pieces first to secure the highest base HP gains.
- Primary Overload Stat: Max HP is her most impactful stat, directly strengthening her shield values.
- Secondary Utility Stats: Charge Speed and Max Ammo improve rotation uptime and reduce reload downtime.
- Stats to Avoid: Do not spend Custom Modules rerolling for Elemental Damage, Critical Rate, or Critical Damage, as her personal damage contribution is negligible.
Team Compositions and Mode Limitations
Rapunzel: Pure Grace fills specific roster gaps where defensive sustain is required, but she has clear mechanical limits:
- Pilgrim Tower: She serves as a dependable defensive anchor alongside carries like Red Hood and Crown, shielding fragile attackers from stray sniper fire and area-of-effect bursts.
- Solo Raid: Because Solo Raid requires five distinct squads, Pure Grace is ideal for anchoring teams four or five. Her barriers allow secondary teams to survive the entire three-minute timer to maximize cumulative damage.
- Campaign Push Limitation: She cannot replace primary Burst I supports like Liter, Dorothy, or D: Killer Wife in high-deficit campaign stages. Without built-in Burst cooldown reduction, squad rotations will stall and leave your team vulnerable to enemy wipe mechanics.
