Skill 1 – Pseudocode
Deals 260% damage to a single target and grants 1 stack of Backup.
Backup: When an ally with a debuff takes action, a stack is consumed to purify all debuffs from them and apply a Data Stream stack. Stacks up to 6 and cannot be dispelled.
➤ Built-in cleanse system that triggers automatically—huge for countering CC and DoT teams.
Skill 2 – Full Overwrite
Targets the ally with the highest total cooldown and reduces cooldown by 1 turn up to 5 times, targeting different allies each time. Each instance also applies Data Stream.
➤ Massive skill cycling potential. Works beautifully in cooldown-heavy teams.
Skill 3 – Temporal Leap
Increases an ally’s Strike Prep by 15%, 8 times consecutively, each time targeting the ally with the lowest strike prep. Also grants 5 Backup stacks to DokiDoki.
➤ Exceptional team-wide turn acceleration, useful for syncing your whole squad and pushing slow units forward.

Early Game Modules:
- Swift Rush (+35% Speed)➤ Absolutely mandatory. Speed = more turns = more support output.
- Strive Set (+10% DEF, +10% Strike Prep after being attacked)➤ Extra bulk and turn cycling. Helps her rotate more in drawn-out fights.
Mid to Late Game Upgrades:
- Swift Raid (+15% Speed, +20% ATK)➤ Once you want to scale up her Skill 1 damage and maintain top-tier speed, this becomes the go-to upgrade.
DokiDoki doesn’t need Effect Accuracy. Focus entirely on speed, bulk, and resilience.
Stat Priorities

Early Game:
- HP% / HP% / Effect RES%➤ Bulky and safe. Keeps her alive and functioning through heavy enemy CC.
- Alternate: HP% / HP% / HP%➤ Great until you can reliably get Effect RES in gear substats.
Late Game:
- HP% / Effect RES% / HP%➤ Maintains her tankiness while allowing her to shrug off key debuffs and keep the team rolling.
💡 Avoid building damage or accuracy—she doesn’t need them.
