How-To-Play Notes
Raise her Dressphere stacks to 5 with any skill
Paine's Full Throttle is based on her positioning and allies:
If she's on the Left or Middle, she will grant the party BRV DMG, BRV Gains Up and Overflow boosts.
If she's on the Right or Middle, she will debuff the enemies with HP DMG Taken up, BRV DMG and BRV Gains down
If on the left or right, she full commits to one of these. If she's in the middle she gets both but only half as effective as if she were on one side or the other (For numbers, see the infographic)
Allies and Calls raise her Full Throttle stacks depending on their placement so party formation needs to take this information into account
Stacks will go up after 2 buffs/debuffs are applied. Paine keeps track so if an ally grants 3 buffs, she will only raise 1 stack, but once another ally grants a buff, the 2nd stack will raise (up until max limit)
Paine herself cannot raise her stacks!
The rest of her kit is much more straight forward, maintain her debuff on enemies and upkeep her buffs.
Currently has access to highest BRV Gains Up aura when at max stacks in the left party slot
Also has highest standalone HP DMG Taken Up at max stacks in the right party slot without a BT
She is very good at either enabling your party and crippling enemies making her very flexible
The Wild Throttle skill is also a clutch cleansing/dispeling tool as she removes party debuffs and enemy buffs should you need them
