Meanwhile, the Fire Trailblazer acts as divert aggro away from Seele, acting as a sturdy tank to protect her from harm. This dynamic duo creates a strong frontline presence, allowing Seele to focus on dealing damage without worrying about taking too much DMG herself.
Natasha’s inclusion adds versatility to the team, as she can either bolster the Fire Trailblazer’s defenses to prolong its tanking capabilities or remove debuffs inflicted on the allies.
