Quick answer
Best for players who enjoy choosing between aggressive Bleed and Stun setups. Theresia is an aggressive melee status specialist. Choose Bleed for the sustain-oriented handoff or Stun for the control handoff, then close the gap only after the next route is decided.
Who should play Theresia
Pick Theresia if you enjoy close-range pressure but want the team's next need to decide your status route. She rewards players who choose Bleed or Stun before closing the gap.
She is less comfortable if you switch routes after committing. The wrong status can leave Roxy and the third member without the continuation they were chosen to provide.
Quick playstyle
Read the team first, choose Bleed or Stun, then gap-close for a short status route. Hand the target to Roxy and let the third member supply sustain or control.
Try this recommendation when the team needs control: choose Stun rather than Bleed, confirm the handoff, and leave the next control step to the selected teammate.
Core mechanics
Bleed status route
Choose Bleed when the planned Theresia-to-Roxy sequence is heading toward a sustain third. Apply the status, confirm the handoff, and leave rather than mixing the route.
Stun status route
Choose Stun when the team needs a control continuation. Confirm that control is the current plan before committing to close range.
Gap closing
Gap closing lets Theresia reach the target for fast melee pressure. Use it after selecting the status route so the approach and exit serve the same team plan.
Recommended rotation
- Decide whether the team needs the Bleed route or the Stun route.
- Gap-close only after the target and next handoff are readable.
- Apply the selected status through a short melee sequence.
- Hand the target to Roxy for the documented continuation.
- Move to Lute for sustain or Castella for control, then reset Theresia's approach.
Team roles
Theresia-Roxy-Lute sustain rotation
Theresia applies Bleed or Stun, Roxy continues the status pressure, and Lute takes the final handoff for sustain before the team returns to Theresia.
Theresia-Roxy-Castella control rotation
Theresia applies Bleed or Stun, Roxy continues the sequence, and Castella takes the final handoff for control before Theresia starts another route.
Strengths
- Chooses between documented Bleed and Stun status routes.
- Gap closing turns the route choice into immediate melee pressure.
- Connects directly to Roxy and either a sustain or control third.
Weaknesses
- Choosing the status after closing the gap can disrupt the planned handoff.
- Close-range commitment leaves less time to correct the wrong route.
- The third member must match the sustain or control job the team actually needs.
Common mistakes
- Closing the gap before choosing Bleed or Stun.
- Mixing both status routes instead of preparing one teammate continuation.
- Sending the Stun route into a sustain plan without a control follow-up.
- Staying on Theresia after Roxy has the documented continuation.
