• Range - Ultra EM Arrow!
  This ultimate skill consumes 28 energy and deals massive physical damage. EMP unleashes the Archer Queen of Syndicate's raw power and shoots a lethal arrow at the enemy with the lowest HP percentage on a single grid. It deals 800% of her Attack damage as Physical Damage and 1 Core Damage.

• Range - Double Arrow
  The charge of EMP's ultimate skill, "Ultra EM Arrow!", refreshes when it scores a kill. This effect has a 45-second cooldown.

• Range - Hypercharge
  For each enemy EMP skills, she gains a 1% Attack bonus. The bonus lasts for the whole battle and can stack up to 6 times.

Special Ability

EMP's special ability, "EMP Exclusive Brand," increases her Critical damage by 20/25/30%. Additionally, the maximum number of refreshes for killing an enemy target with her ultimate skill changes from 1 to 2.

Characteristic

With her long-range damage output and ability to deal Core Damage, EMP is an excellent character for players who want to stay back and deal massive physical damage. Her unique skill set makes her stand out in the game.

Leader Skill

EMP's leader skill, "Direct Hit," increases Physical penetration by 15%. This skill can give a significant advantage to players who prefer physical damage.

Shackles

Shackles Sync I and Shackles Sync II

EMP's shackles have two distinct modes - Shackles Sync I and Shackles Sync II. In Shackles Sync I, EMP's critical damage is increased by 10%. This makes him more deadly in combat, especially against stronger enemies. In Shackles Sync II, EMP's critical damage is increased by an additional 10%, further increasing his lethality. By switching between these modes at the right times, you can turn the tide of battles in your favor.

Bull's Eye

EMP's Bull's Eye skill is a game-changer. Killing an enemy triggers the next "Ultra EM Arrow!" to be a critical hit. This can deal devastating damage to your opponents and turn the tide of the battle in your favor. It's important to time your attacks carefully and make sure you have a clear shot before using this skill.

Emotional Resonance

Another one of EMP's skills is Emotional Resonance, which reduces his Ultimate Energy Consumption by 3 points. This means that EMP can use his ultimate ability more frequently, which can be a game-changer in tough battles. This skill can also help you save energy for critical moments in the game.

One Stone, Two Birds

EMP's "Ultra EM Arrow!" skill is another powerful ability that can deal an extra 50% physical damage to all enemies in the target grid. This damage doesn't have crit bonus, but it can still pack a punch. By using this skill strategically, you can clear out groups of enemies and gain an advantage in the game.

Crimebrand Recommendation

If you're just starting out in the game, then Eastside: Dream is a great place to begin. This location provides EMP with a Normal attack damage boost of 15%, which can make a big difference in the early stages of the game. As you progress further into the game, Shackles of Life becomes an attractive option. This item provides a Crit Damage boost of 50%, which can be devastating when combined with EMP's other skills. Additionally, it provides an Attack boost of 2.4%-4.8%, a Health boost of 4%-8%, and a Crit Rate boost of 4%-8%. This makes Shackles of Life a versatile and powerful item that can give you an edge in tough battles.
