Class
Reset converter with Burn
Overall
C+
S(N)
Advantages
+Incidental Conversion on active
+Fast burn application on Equipment means she scales very well into endgame fight where she's competitive with S tier detonators
+Has strong synergies with Uriel and Lorelei
Disadvantages
-– Reset conversion is very weak, and borders on actively harmful before Ascension 3
– Equipment stack loss on new waves hurts her total output.
-Loses a lot of value when enemies are burn immune
Explanation
It's easy to think that Joanie Boom's weak and inconsistent conversion in tandem with the clunkiness of her kit means that she joins her fellow 4-star reset converters as a generally poor unit. However, she has a strong niche. Her Equipment allows her to inflict burn onto enemies, but unlike Uriel, said chance to inflict burn is on a per tile basis (i.e 140% chance to inflict burn per tile she hits the enemies). This allows her to easily inflict 5 stacks of Burn with every chain combo, turning her into a sort of Fire Odi - a DoT unit that can compete with S-tier detonators against relevant high-health enemies. Her conversion is poor enough that she isn't recommended if searching for a converter, but it's a solid bonus to her Burn niche and especially helpful if you're struggling to build secondary or tertiary teams.
