Best gear for Perlica

• Wild Wanderer
• Oblivion
• Detonation Unit

Team synergy and role

Perlica works well in Electric teams. She can perform in teams that have mixed damage for the additional DMG infliction. Overall, she is okay, but not OP by any stretch of the imagination. You can play her at the start when you try out various teams, or later on alongside any of the following characters:

• Avywenna (Electric)
• Arclight (Electric)
• Antal (Electric)

Is Perlica worth using?

Since you get Perlica from the start, she's a must-use. She will be on your team from the beginning, but later on, once you get someone stronger, feel free to swap her out. I personally like how easy to play she is. She's also fairly easy to get upgrades for, so I opted to use her (for now).
