Rem

(Updated 9/10/21)

As it stands, Rem is considered to be another counterattacking bruiser in the meta. Now, that’s not bad or anything, not at all; in fact, right now Rem is absolutely game-breaking. Right now, she does have a good place in the Researcher Carrot and buff-heavy meta we’re in – due to her unique buff, Demon Mode, which makes her immune to all debuffs and ignores Effect Resistance, she counters Researcher Carrot pretty hard. Plus, with the part of her passive that makes her AoE counterattack take priority over a basic attack when she counters makes her perfect for – well, a Counter set.

People have used Rem in PvE (namely, Wyvern 13) before, due to her semi-reliable buffs and Defense Break on her s1, including the fact that she ignores Effect Resistance on Demon Mode. However, she shines most in PVP, and some would say not to use Rem in Wyvern 13 at all, as there are better choices (e.g. Sigret, Seaside Bellona, Alexa, etc). It’s still worth noting that she can be used there, though.

Build Notes

Rem doesn’t need Immunity nearly as bad as most other Counter units, due to Demon Mode essentially being a 2-turn Immunity built in. The Counterattacking Build is a given, due to her AoE attack taking priority over her s1 for counters. However, the General Speed Build is more or less for if you don’t have the gear quality to achieve a good Rem build with Counter, as most units in the game can always benefit with a Speed set.

It’s best to replace her Speed set with Counter as soon as you can, though, because the extra chances to activate Iron Strike will be greatly appreciated by you.

A good Rem build looks to be about:

• 3,500+ ATK
• 1,200~ Defense
• 15,000-17,000 HP
• 100% Crit Rate
• 250%-300%+ Crit Damage
• 150+ Speed

Rem is rather stat-hungry, so it might be difficult to get her to the ideal Rem build. If she’s on a Speed build, you can expect to see about 170 Speed instead of 150.
