A model soldier who follows orders and stays loyal to the mission...
At least that's what Soldier 11 demands of herself.
Weapons don't need emotions, and need only follow orders...
At least that's what Soldier 11 tells herself.
No matter how strong the enemy, just get fired up and face it head on...
At least that's what Soldier 11 does.
She shed her weakness along with her name, leaving only resolve...
At least that's what Soldier 11 thinks.

These characters include Grace Howard, Alexandrina Sebastiane, Koleda Belobog, Nekomata, and Von Lycaon.

Strengths

• Powerful Fire DPS.
• Easy to play, beginner friendly DPS.
• Only Fire DPS upon release.
• Plenty of viable options to team with that can boost her damage even further.

Weaknesses

• Only member of the Obol Squad for now, making it impossible to team with same Faction.
• The timed mechanic of her basic attack can be tricky to learn at first.

Soldier 11 is an attack character that is capable of dealing heavy Fire damage to single targets as well as small groups of enemies. She relies heavily on her Fire Suppression mechanic, which revolves mostly around pressing the button at the right moment. Doing so will imbue her attacks with Fire, which massively increases the damage of her next attacks and applies Burn to the targets.

Soldier 11 should be used as a Main DPS: she needs to be on-field in order to maximize her damage output. Her Fire Suppression will not trigger off-field. Here are the different ways you can activate Fire Suppression:

• Press during a Dodge.
• Press during a Perfect Dodge.
• Use the EX Special Attack to activate Fire Suppression for 15s or up to 8 times.
• Use the Chain Attack to activate Fire Suppression for 15s or up to 8 times.
• Use the Ultimate to activate Fire Suppression for 15s or up to 8 times.

It is more efficient to trigger Fire Suppression by timing the Basic Attack, rather than through her other attacks. This will then grant you various bonuses such as increased Basic Attack damage, damage reduction, or the ability to ignore a portion of the target's Fire RES.

Soldier 11 is a great Fire DPS and easy to play. Having to time the Basic Attack seems challenging at first, but it will feel easy after a while to hit the Basic Attack during a Dodge. Fire Suppression will almost always be triggered, allowing Soldier 11 to do massive Fire damage, while also applying Burn on enemies. She will melt through small enemies and bosses in no time!

Soldier 11's best W-Engine is the The Brimstone S-Rank W-Engine. It is the Best-in-Slot option for Soldier 11 since it will stack a damage buff each time she hits an enemy with a Basic Attack, Dash Attack, or Dodge Counter. Her ATK can increase up to 28% if you reach the maximum amount of stacks.

Other A-Rank W-Engines that can be useful to Soldier 11 are Cannon Rotor, Starlight Engine, Street Superstar, and [Lunar] Noviluna as they all provide increased ATK or DMG.

Soldier 11's best Disc Drive is Inferno Metal. It is the most useful option for Fire DPS as it gives a direct 10% Fire DMG bonus, and increased CRIT Rate upon hitting Burning Enemies.

Wodpecker Electro and Puffer Electro are two other good options for Soldier 11 as they increase her CRIT Rate or her damage output.

Rocketboo is the best Bangboo for Soldier 11 and her team. It accumulates Fire Anomaly Buildup, and when you have 2 or more Fire Agents in your squad, his Chain Attack inflicts 100% more Anomaly Buildup, helping the team to weaken enemies, and allowing Soldier 11 to do more damage!

A similar option as A-Rank Bangboo is the Cryboo.

If you are looking for a support type Bangboo, Exploreboo or Avocaboo are viable options, as they provide small buffs or healing to the team.

Soldier 11 will always be played as the Main DPS in her team, since her most important abilities only trigger on-field. This is why pairing her with good Support agents like Lucy will maximize Soldier's damage since Lucy provides important ATK buffs. Additionally, Koleda Belobog is a good Stun agent that can boost Soldier 11's Chain Attack and provide some crowd control.

Lighter has great synergy with Caesar King, while also increasing Soldier 11's DMG making this double stunner squad very efficient. Caesar also further protects and boost Soldier 11 who will be unstoppable.

Since Soldier 11 does not have any other Faction allies for now, teaming her up with Koleda Belobog and Ben Bigger is a very good Mono-Fire option. Since those two can also have coordinated attacks, and come from the same Faction, all the additional abilities will trigger, resulting in an extremely powerful team, both in damage and survivability.

With Caesar King, Soldier 11 gains another powerfull boost. Lucy together with Caesar King will provide Soldier 11 with an incredible buff, while also giving her some more survivability.

You can play Soldier 11 with Burnice White and Lucy, as the three character also benefit from each other.
