Skia Build & Tier Rating

Skia is a C Tier A-Rank Lakshana/Gas Esper whose main job is damage. Budget Lakshana damage dealer from gacha. Usable filler for Lakshana teams but outclassed by higher-rarity options. They work best as a budget or bridge option while you save materials for stronger long-term carries.

The rating is based on practical account value rather than raw damage alone: role compression, team fit, element coverage, and how expensive the character is to make useful. For Skia, the standout points are lakshana element coverage, easy to obtain, functional in budget lakshana teams, low investment floor. Their free-to-play access makes that value easier to recommend for newer accounts.

In combat, Skia plays as a damage option with Lakshana element coverage and Gas arc typing. Lakshana/Gas-based attacks with basic damage profile. Skill deals Lakshana damage to a single target. Ultimate fires a penetrating shot that hits multiple enemies. This makes them easiest to justify when your team already supports that damage type or needs the utility attached to their kit.

Recommended teammates are Hathor, Haniel and Fadia. If you do not own those exact characters, look for replacements that preserve the same jobs: a stable damage source, a way to amplify Lakshana output, and enough survival or control to keep rotations consistent. For ready-made examples, compare the best NTE teams.

Start with ATK% / Lakshana DMG / Crit Rate. ATK% / Lakshana DMG / Crit Rate. Budget build, don't over-invest. 4-piece Lakshana set. Do not over-farm perfect substats before your core team has usable gear; a stable baseline build usually gives more account progress than chasing one ideal piece.

Prioritize Skia when your account needs a damage or when Lakshana coverage unlocks a better team shell. Based on vote trends, community votes are more cautious, so this pick may depend heavily on account context. Use that as a signal to test the character against your own roster instead of treating any tier placement as permanent.
