Dorothy The Wisher Animus Spotlight

Dorothy the Wisher is a standout support in Etheria: Restart thanks to her unique synergy between crit rate scaling and strike prep acceleration.

As a rare “critting support,” she brings something no other unit currently offers—doubling the value of her abilities if they crit. This makes her a powerful enabler for aggressive comps and DPS-focused team rotations.

In this Article, we are going to be breaking down the best ways to utilize Dorothy the Wisher, and how to gear her for the best possible results.

Skill 1: Gift

Deals 240% damage to a single enemy and increases strike prep for a random ally by 20%. If the hit crits, the boost becomes 30%.

A simple skill with great utility. On a crit-focused build, this becomes a reliable way to cycle through your team faster.

Skill 2: Wishlist

Increases a single ally’s strike prep by 50%, grants Crit DMG Up for 2 turns, and reduces all skill cooldowns by 1 turn. If this effect crits, the strike prep boost is doubled.

Massive single-target ramp-up potential—ideal for enabling key nukes or clutch cooldown resets.

Skill 3: Wish Granted

Applies 2 turns of Crit Rate Up and Life Leech to all allies, and purifies 1 debuff. If the purify effect crits, it cleanses 2 debuffs.

Sustain and utility packed into one move. Life Leech makes it easier to run without a dedicated healer, while Crit Rate helps your whole team scale offensively.

Pros:

• Grants team-wide Crit Rate Up and Life Leech, allowing comps to operate without a traditional healer
• Offers strike prep acceleration, cooldown reduction, and crit damage scaling
• Skills double their effectiveness on crits, making her one of the highest-value buffers
• Removes debuffs while empowering allies with offensive boosts

Cons:

• Relies on crit rate to maximize value; without it, her utility is cut in half
• Requires a delicate balance of survivability and crit gear, which can be hard early on
• If she’s focused down early, she can’t provide sustained buffs or healing
