– The only skin she has sucks

Review

Guillotine is a really strong MG unit that will find place on a lot of raids thanks to her damage output.

Similar to Scarlet, she loses HP and buffs herself, but she actually needs to stay low HP to keep the buffs while Scarlet can be full health and still keep her ATK stacks. This means you cannot really play Guillotine on teams with good healers, since she will deal no damage.

Like most machine guns, once invested you can go for a build with infinite ammo as long as you are using the Bastion cube and get some good lines with Max ammo capacity.

Skill 1 takes the lowest priority to level up since that’s where you are losing HP and the critical rate you get even at low level is good enough.

Skill 2 is where most of her damage is coming from, increasing ATK for each % of life missing. This takes the highest priority to level up and will actually make her a good unit compared to a mediocre MG.

Last, her burst provides excellent single target damage to the unit with the highest ATK, but Guillotine needs to have less than 50% HP to deal double damage. This is why it’s important to always keep her below 30/20% of her HP so she can make proper use of her kit.
