Unit Analysis by Team BethelFrankel
Class
Column converter that also converts a shattered red tile in a limited area
Overall
A+
(SS at BT3)
Advantages
+At BT3: Column Converter with an insanely high Conversion ceiling
+Spammable secondary tiles from her Equipment help guarantee contact tiles
+Reasonably strong damage for a converter
+Synergizes well with Fire’s abundance of tile resets/purifiers
Disadvantages
-– Brutal CD without Breakthroughs
– Chain Combo can be underwhelming if not set up properly
– Limited selection area on her equipment that basically requires a teleporter
– Damaged tiles from Equipment don’t contribute to chain count unless cleansed
Explanation
Lorelei is Fire’s first good select-tile converter in two years, and a very potent one at that. Carleen and her various clones in other elements are proof that column conversion is broken on its own, but Lorelei also comes with a powerful Equipment that elevates her potential. Being able to select a tile to convert on such a low CD is hugely valuable for ensuring contact tiles and completing chains. She even has a good base Attack and chain for a converter!
That said, she’s not a perfect unit. The limited selection range of her EQ can be hard to work with, and the fact that it appears as a shattered tile means it doesn’t contribute to chain count on its own. However, Fire has a host of options for both mobility and cleansing tiles; her synergies with units like Rinne and Smokey not only make her much more interesting, but cement her as a status as a likely long-term mainstay in Fire.
