This way Lucy can enter Cheer On! and buff her allies more often. Chaos Ball Game is a useful Mindscape to aim for, as it gives an additional CRIT DMG boost to Lucy's allies when under the Cheer On! effect. M6 Mindscape is also valuable, but not 100% needed.

Refreshing the Cheer On! state resets the stack count. After the guard boar's explosion, it will launch Guard Boars: Spinning Swing! |

How to Play Lucy
Lucy is an extremely valuable support agent. She provides a significant ATK buff to the squad, Bangboo, and her boars, while also having a good off-field damage, since her guard boars remain on the field even when you switch Lucy out.
The goal with Lucy is to first get as many boars as possible on-field, and then trigger her Cheer On! ability through the use of her EX Special Attack to increase her allies' ATK %.
After this, you can switch her out to the DPS in your team and take advantage of the attack boost, while her guard boars also continue to deal damage.
Lucy's Build
Lucy's build is made to maximize her buffs: this means focusing on increasing her ATK, as well as her CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG and Energy.
| BiS W-Engine | Kaboom The Cannon |
| Alternative W-Engines |

| Best Drive Discs | 4 Piece:

| Main Stats |

|
| Skill Priority |
|
Lucy's best W-Engine is the Kaboom The Cannon A-Rank W-Engine. Since this W-Engine increases her ATK and Energy Regeneration, and also increases the squad's ATK, it is an ideal option.
An alternative A-Rank W-Engine that can be useful to Lucy is the Unfettered Game Ball as it provides also ATK and Energy Regeneration to Lucy, but the W-Engines bonus can be tricky to trigger.
For the time being there is no S-Rank Support W-Engine really fitting for Lucy, but if you possess Weeping Cradle and in need of more Energy Regeneration, it is an option, but it will be less efficient then Kaboom The Cannon.
If you have no other option, [Reverb] Mark III is a viable option to increase the Squad's ATK.
Lucy's best Drive Discs are Swing Jazz, Woodpecker Electro, and Hormone Punk. All three provide useful buffs to Lucy and her team. Her best substats focus on ATK%, CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG.
Bangboo Information
Since Lucy will most likely be played with one other Fire Agent, the
S-Rank 
Rocketboo is the best Bangboo for her and her team.
It is a very good in accumulating Anomaly Buildup. Additionally, when you have 2 or more
Fire Agents in your squad, his Chain Attack inflicts 100% more Anomaly Buildup.
A similar option as A-Rank bangboo is the 
Cryboo bangboo.
If you have only Lucy as a Fire agent in your team, or are looking for a
more supportive Bangboo, 
Exploreboo or 
Avocaboo
are viable options, as they provide small buffs or healing to the team.
Team Comps and Synergy
Lucy is mainly used as a Support unit since she provides off-field damage through her boars remaining on-field. She will support the main DPS with her attack buffs. Pairing Lucy with another Fire or Sons Of Calydon agent will boost her guard boars with CRIT, allowing them to do more damage.
| DPS | Stun | Support | Bangboo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soldier 11 | Koleda Belobog | Lucy | Rocketboo |
| DPS | Support | Support | Bangboo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soldier 11 | Nicole Demara | Lucy | Cryboo |
Lucy needs to be with a strong DPS agent such as Soldier 11, as she can take advantage of Lucy's buffs and Core Skill to maximize Soldier 11's attack power and Lucy's boars at the same time. The third slot in this squad is more flexible, but filling it with a Stun Agent such as Koleda Belobog or a Support Agent like Nicole Demara provides additional crowd control, allowing Soldier 11 to more easily deal damage.
| DPS | Support | Support | Bangboo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Piper Wheel | Koleda Belobog | Lucy | Rocketboo |
Piper can be another option if you want to have two members of the Sons Of Calydon in your team, Piper Wheel heavily benefits off of Lucy's buffs and is her only viable support at this moment of time.
| DPS | Defense | Support | Bangboo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soldier 11 | Caesar King | Lucy | Red Moccus |
Using Lucy together with Caesar King will provide Soldier 11 with an incredible buff, while also giving her some more survivability.
