Velina is an S-Rank Wind Anomaly agent from the New Eridu Public Security faction. As a Slash specialist, this character excels at shredding through enemies by rapidly accumulating Wind Anomaly Buildup to trigger the Windswept effect.
In the current meta, this Wind carry acts as a high-pressure Anomaly DPS. Her playstyle revolves around a fast-paced "quick-swap" or "hyper-carry" rotation, utilizing her EX Special Attacks to boost her own Anomaly Proficiency. If you enjoy seeing constant green numbers and massive damage procs from status effects, this captain is the perfect addition to your roster.
How Do Velina's Skills Work?
While the specific skill multipliers for this agent are currently unknown, her core combat loop can be inferred from her signature equipment and faction role. She relies on high-frequency Slash attacks to pressure the enemy's Anomaly bar.
Core Combat Rotation
To maximize her output, follow this high-efficiency rotation:
- Start with your Support (like Yuzuha) to apply buffs and the Sweet Scare state.
- Swap to this Wind DPS and use her Basic Attack string to build initial energy.
- Unleash her EX Special Attack immediately once available. This triggers her gear buffs and significantly spikes her Anomaly Proficiency.
- Continue attacking until the Windswept status is triggered, dealing massive burst damage.
- Chain into your Sub-DPS (like Promeia) to trigger Disorder or Abloom effects for maximum squad DPS.
What is the Best Weapon for Velina?
Choosing the right W-Engine is critical for ensuring this Slash user can keep up with the demands of high-level content like the Shiyu Defense.
- Top Tier: Velina W-Engine Test (Signature)
This is her Best-in-Slot (BiS) option. It is specifically designed to complement her high base ATK (872) and Anomaly Proficiency (168). While exact passives are pending, it likely focuses on increasing Wind DMG and Anomaly Buildup speed. - F2P / Budget Alternative: Rainforest Gourmet (or similar Anomaly Engines)
For players saving their pulls, any W-Engine that provides Anomaly Mastery or Energy Regen will work. These stats ensure she can spam her EX Special Attacks more frequently, which is the heartbeat of her kit.
Which Gear and Stats Maximize Velina's Damage?
To make this carry truly shine, you need to focus on her status application and raw Wind power.

What Are the Best Team Comps for Velina?
This agent thrives when paired with teammates who can capitalize on her Wind application to trigger Disorder.
The "Elemental Chaos" Team: Velina + Promeia + Yuzuha
- Promeia (Sub-DPS): An Ice Anomaly specialist. When this Wind captain applies Windswept, Promeia can trigger Abloom, dealing massive 635% Attribute Anomaly DMG. Her "Vessel of Ice" ability also allows her to ignore 40% of the target's DEF.
- Yuzuha (Support): The ultimate battery and buffer. She provides a massive ATK bonus (up to 1,200) via her Tanuki Wish. Her Sweet Scare state reduces enemy RES, making the team's Anomaly procs hit like a truck.

Which Constellations (Awakenings) Are Worth Getting?
Velina’s Cinema levels provide significant boosts to her energy economy and elemental shred. If you plan to main this agent, her early duplicates offer incredible value.
| Level | Effect | Value/Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | Orderly Elegance: Gains 30 Energy on entry. Triggers [Vortex]/[Windswept] to ignore 15% All-Attribute RES. | High Value. Essential for smooth rotations and a massive damage floor increase. |
| C2 | Saturation Protocol: Gains [Enhancement point] on [Windswept]. [Gale Field] can accumulate Anomaly Buildup. | Great. Increases her field presence and utility during high-intensity fights. |
| C3 | Ceremonial Conquest: Basic, Dodge, Assist, Special, and Chain Attack Lv. +2. | Standard. Good raw stat increase for all abilities. |
| C4 | Tea Time is Judgment Time: ATK +10%. Triggers [Vital View] to restore 1 Assist Point. | Supportive. Great for maintaining team-wide parry/assist resources while boosting her ATK. |
| C5 | Death Witch: Basic, Dodge, Assist, Special, and Chain Attack Lv. +2. | Standard. Further scales her damage potential. |
| C6 | Head Angel: Assist Follow-Up deals 60% Abloom DMG. +20% Anomaly Buildup. [Windswept] DMG increases when refreshed. | Game Changer. Turns her into a hyper-carry that punishes enemies for staying afflicted with Wind. |
Recommended Stopping Point: C1 is the best value for F2P players as it solves her energy issues and provides RES shred. Whale players should aim for C6 to maximize her burst potential.
Is Velina Worth Pulling?
Verdict: Yes (Especially if you lack a Wind DPS).
- Pros: Extremely high base Anomaly Proficiency; excellent synergy with top-tier supports like Yuzuha; easy to play with a clear "EX Special -> Windswept" loop.
- Cons: Requires specific Drive Discs (Howlin' Salon) to reach her full potential; somewhat "squishy" if you miss your parry windows.
If you are looking for a character that can ignore enemy defenses through Anomaly status rather than just raw crit hits, she is a must-have.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I solve Velina's energy issues?
Because this Wind specialist relies on her EX Special Attack to trigger her 4-pc gear set, reaching her C1 (Orderly Elegance) is the best solution as it gives 30 Energy instantly. Alternatively, run Moonlight Lullaby and pair her with Yuzuha for squad-wide energy gains.
Does this character need CRIT stats?
Generally, no. As an Anomaly specialty agent, her primary damage comes from the Windswept proc and Disorder damage, which scales off Anomaly Proficiency and Level, not Crit Rate or Crit DMG. Focus entirely on her Anomaly stats and ATK to maximize her effectiveness.
Can she work in a F2P team?
Absolutely. While Promeia and Yuzuha are her best partners, she can work with any Support or Defense unit from the same faction or element to trigger her Additional Ability. Just ensure your teammates can help build daze or provide energy.
