Exusiai the New Covenant S2 vs. S3

Train S2 Shootoholic first for repeatable physical burst and a Barrier. Choose S3 Guaranteed Success! when early redeployment of a ground operator is part of the clear, or when you specifically need its five-hit burst.

S2 / S3Mastery comparison

Use S2 to protect a frontline duo through a rush

Place Exusiai on a raised tile covering the blocker and the incoming wave. S2 gives her a Barrier and rapid shots. If she takes attack speed from an ally in range, that ally also gains a Barrier and Exusiai gains five extra rounds. Put a defensive blocker in reach when the squad can spare their attack speed. Keep a carry out of Exusiai’s range if their own attack speed is vital to the clear.

Exusiai fires from the raised E tile. B marks the blocker holding the lane and an example ally who can receive the shared Barrier.

Use S3 to return Surtr for a second burst

After Surtr retreats, check the redeployment bar. Put Delivery Coordinates on a usable ground tile before activating S3. The skill brings back the eligible ground operator with the longest remaining redeploy time and grants them 6 SP. With Twilight at M3, that is enough SP to use it on arrival. If another eligible operator has a longer timer, the skill selects that operator instead.

E marks Exusiai’s raised tile. C is the intended Delivery Coordinates tile on the target’s route. Check the redeployment queue before activating.
  • E Exusiai
  • → Enemy route
  • C Delivery Coordinates
