“Clad with the color of blood, living the night. The targeted prey won’t escape. Yes! This is the maiden of steel for this year’s summer!”

The gorgeous Madam Swimsuit Celebrity who’s also secretly the phantom thief Mistress C is an existence brought about by Carmilla’s jealousy towards her younger counterpart’s many variants. Subtle and elegant, Carmilla (Rider) boasts a semi-supportive skillset specialized around applying various fun, unique debuffs on her enemies.

While Carmilla does her supporting mostly via debuffs, she actually shares similar primary features with many other prime damage supports, from Thief's Calling Card’s NP Charge to Femme Fatale (Fake)’s Critical Defense debuff (which is essentially Critical Damage Up in debuff form). She also has a selection of more minor or situational debuffs such as Skill Seal and Critical Rate Down, and notably Buff Block, another courtesy of her NP Testarossa Maiden. Rounding up her skillset are Femme Fatale’s Instant Critical Stars and Mistress C’s HP Absorption, the latter of which helps sustain her in longer fights.

Although there are definitely advantages to using debuffs instead of buffs, there are also disadvantages, chiefly that the benefit provided by debuffs lasts only so long as the debuffed target lives. Meanwhile, despite providing some Critical Damage support, Carmilla’s Rider class means that she’ll be competing with other damage dealers for critical stars as well, and while she is able to for the most part sustain herself, she is unable to extend the same benefit to her allies.

The limitations placed by Carmilla’s debuff-oriented playstyle prevents her from truly becoming a top tier support choice, but nevertheless, her unique tools are definitely a breath of fresh air for the game’s buff-heavy meta. Invest in her, and the gracious lady Carmilla will give you a summer experience you’ll never forget!

🟢 Strengths

Damage Support (Debuff)

Carmilla possesses an assortment of damage increasing debuffs; namely, Critical Defense Down (Femme Fatale (Fake)), Defense Down (Mistress C) and Quick Resistance Down (Testarossa Maiden). She also provides some NP Charge through her second skill’s delayed Calling Card debuff. She even has some instant Critical Stars from Femme Fatale, though it is more than likely that Carmilla herself will get most of them. 

Decent Utility

Buff Block can be a very powerful tool in the right situation, and Carmilla’s NP applies it to all enemies on the field. She also has a Skill Seal and a delayed NP Drain, as well as Critical Rate Down for those enemies with painful or AoE criticals.

🔴 Weaknesses

Debuff-Oriented Support

Debuffs can and will occasionally miss targets with Magic Resistance, which includes most Servants in the game. Meanwhile, those with Debuff Resistance or Immunity can simply shrug off most everything Carmilla is able to throw at them (when given the chance, she can preemptively Buff Block said Debuff Resistance/Immunity, but this is a rather unreliable strategy, and usually doesn’t work against special stage buffs). The second great weakness of a debuff-oriented playstyle is that debuffs cannot outlive their target, making them far less useful in farming situations. This also creates a complexity with Thief's Calling Card’s delayed debuff, as the party-wide NP Charge is also lost if the debuffed target dies too early.

High Star Weight

While high star weight is normally an advantage, it is not so for someone in a supportive role like Carmilla, as she may end up snatching critical stars meant for the main damage dealer (which is important as Carmilla is most likely used in Quick-oriented teams).

Long Cooldowns and Lacks Party Sustain 

Carmilla’s skills have rather long base cooldowns, meaning that it’s unlikely for her to get a second use off them in most stages. While she is generally able to sustain herself well enough during any possible downtime, she provides neither hard defensive buff nor long-term sustain for her allies, which makes her less suited for extended fights.

HighSkillIcon
Mistress C EX
Drain all enemies' health. Decrease DEF for all enemies (3 turns).

Carmilla’s skills have rather long base cooldowns, so it’s recommended to get all of them to level 6 at the very least. Maxing them, on the other hand, is not strictly necessary, but can be quite beneficial on her second and third skills.

  • While Femme Fatale (Fake)’s high Critical Rate Down modifier may look enticing, the fact that it only affects critical hits make it a lot more situational, especially as it doesn’t benefit NP damage. While this skill should usually be leveled third, those seeking to use Carmilla in critical-oriented compositions may find benefit in leveling it second over Thief’s Calling Card.
  • Thief’s Calling Card applies a 3-turn Critical Rate Down to its target, but more importantly, it applies the delayed debuff Calling Card, which drains an opponent’s NP in the following turn and charges the party’s NP gauge. Using it often requires careful selection of targets, to ensure that the debuffed target survives until the delayed effects are triggered. It is also less useful in fast farming runs where enemy mob waves are quickly eliminated with AoE NPs. In general, this skill should be leveled second.
  •  Mistress C is the most flexible of Carmilla’s skills, as its Defense down is less situational compared to Femme Fatale’s Critical Defense down, and it lacks the complexity provided by Thief’s Calling Card’s delayed debuff. As such, it should be leveled first.

🖼️ Craft Essence Recommendations

As a support, Carmilla is generally rather flexible with her CE choices, though she does benefit from using Starting NP Gauge Craft Essences. Passive Star Generation is also a powerful option for critical-oriented compositions.

  • Kaleidoscope / The Imaginary Element (MLB): These CEs are especially valuable when Carmilla’s Buff Block is needed early on in the fight, and it also allows her to apply Testarossa Maiden’s Quick Resist Down at the same time.
  • Holy Night Supper / Golden Sumo: Boulder Tournament / Knights of Marines / One Summer:  These hybrid CEs provide some Starting NP as well as direct offensive benefits, a good fit for more casual farming runs where a very early NP isn’t necessary.
  • A Fragment of 2030 / His Rightful Place: The constant stream of critical stars provided by these CEs are much welcomed in critical-oriented teams, allowing the party to produce enough stars to hopefully offset Carmilla’s high Rider star weight.
  • Flexible CE Choice: In a supporting role, Carmilla can equip essentially any CE, such as event drop bonus CEs or Bond CEs.

Chocolate To Steal the Greatest Treasure

Profile Entries

Character Info

A flawless, classy socialite in a gorgeous swimsuit, thoroughly enjoying the celebrity lifestyle. Her dangerous but seductive gaze can steal the heart of whomever she sets her eyes upon. But as you awaken from this midsummer night's dream, it will be to find your best protected treasures stolen away. She is no mere socialite, no mere vampire. No, she is the seductive shadow sulking in the dark corners of the Las Vegas night. She goes by Mistress C, the mysterious phantom thief!

Profile 1

Height/Weight: 168cm, 49kg Origin: History Region: Hungary Alignment: Neutral-Evil Gender: Female An evil woman somewhat different than her normal self.

Profile 2

If we're being completely honest, she has long watched her other self with abject jealousy. Halloween? Brave? Mecha? And even a Japanese gothic form!? Why does SHE get so many different versions!? "I will NOT let her be the one to keep standing out!" And when her frustrations finally exploded, her Spirit Origin changed into a long-anticipated swimsuit Servant.

Profile 3

Femme Fatale (Fake): A A skill that enables her to naturally slip right next to her target. This indicates her proficiency in the preliminary investigation needed for a phantom thief, and it's a compound skill that includes analysis, intelligence, the use of pheromones, disguise, covert action, and more. Her demonic nature makes anyone, male or female, naturally fall in love with her as she gets close to them when she goes in for a steal. But the feeling is but an illusion that persists only until her thieving is done. No matter how precious, compatible, and comfortable that love may seem, it will never truly go anywhere, no matter how much the other person may wish it. Even...if she herself wishes it.

Profile 4

Thief's Calling Card: A A most bold card left by the mysterious female thief "Mistress C" before she carries out her crime. It bears an image of some sort of canine symbol, as well as messages like, "On this day at this time, I will come take 〇〇." The described act is always carried out flawlessly. The act of sending a calling card creates a unique feeling of ecstasy...or rather a form of catharsis. But be warned: once she gets hooked on doing this, she'll keep on throwing cards at you during ordinary conversations. Mistress C: EX A skill that changes Swimsuit Celebrity Madam Carmilla into a mysterious thief called Mistress C. Generally nobody knows her true identity. "Her appearance is simply graceful...so elegant... And just so sexy... (sigh)" Mistress C is a terrifyingly sexy lady with vast knowledge of myriad advanced gadgets, a body to die for, skills at the wheel of her bright red car that would make racers green with envy, and has A LITTLE bit of skill in torture. She prefers not to kill on her heists, not because she has any interest in justice or the like, but because she thinks that if she hears the screams of her victims, she might get a bit...distracted.

Profile 5

[Testarossa Maiden] Rank: B NP Type: Anti-Personnel - Anti-Army Range: 3 - 100 Maximum Target: 1 - 500 Iron Maiden Tearing through the Night Darkness. As she jumps into the red luxury car reshaped from her Iron Maiden, she drives like an elegant celebrity, attacking by running her targets over. In other words, this car itself is the Iron Maiden, according to Swimsuit Carmilla. "Testarossa" means "red head" in Italian, and it has nothing to do with the luxury sports car of the same name. Probably. The torture device originally was not so much a physical item she carried around, but rather an illusion, and so its general concept doesn't change even after it transforms into something else entirely. The illusion that she freely manipulates simply got an extreme face-lift. That it would make the faces of the virgins to whom she is attracted twist in horror, that it would make others scream, and that once you...take it for a spin, nobody can get out, conceptually, this all remains the same. No matter how beautiful and famous the noblewoman may appear, young ladies really, REALLY shouldn't get in her car. Their bodies and souls will be taken, and they'll never get out... Well, it could just be a sort of urban legend...

Profile 6

She finally feels at ease now that she has gained a swimsuit form, and she is able to behave more like a mature and sophisticated woman...in other words, she now has a sense of celebrity. With her newly enhanced ego, she thought up a grandiose plan to further solidify her status as the great countess: remodeling Castle Csejte. Turning the castle into a giant music amplifier like that brat did is out of the question: Prison Castle Csejte was half-assed and wrong. The castle needs to be more glorious, more suitable for torture...meaning she needs to build a Torture Castle Csejte! Such a project will surely set her apart from that brat, and show the world which of them is better once and for all! But the problem is cost. The celebrity, overflowing with the allure of fame and beauty, needed to plan how to collect funds. Working hard or negotiating like some commoner simply will not do for such a sophisticated woman. No, that is beneath a celebrity of her caliber. But raising funds by gathering jewelry, famous paintings, necklaces, and other such valuable treasures...? Yes, that sounds just perfect. And that would mean... You can see where this is going, right?

Don't allow yourself to be too enthralled by my elegant thieving.
There's no guarantee I'll bail you out if you get caught.
Ascension 2
Heh...you mustn't gaze upon me with those hungry eyes.
I'm no easy date, you know?
Ascension 3
I'm going to take the day off today.
Let's head out to the pool.
Don't forget to bring a parasol and sunblock.
Ascension 4
Haven't you realized?
You've gotten a hold of two priceless treasures.
It's fine if you take care of them, but I recommend you not lock them away.
If you do that, they're sure to disappear someday.
Instead, if you want to keep them in your possession forever...
...make sure you never take your eyes off them, so nobody can steal them.
Bond Level 1
Hmmm...upon closer inspection, you really don't look like the thieving type.
Are you sure you can manage being my partner?
Bond Level 2
I don't think we're in sync still.
To solve that problem...
...Perhaps matching costumes?
Bond Level 3
That passionate gaze... Yes, I know.
You want to learn the essential technique of the celebrity thief...the trick that allows one to throw a card like a knife.
Very well.
It's all in the wrist. Like this! This!
Bond Level 4
Hehehe...let me tell you one thing.
You just haven't noticed... I've already taken something precious from you.
Oh, I'm sorry. I can't return it to you, even if I wanted to.
I wouldn't know how to return it in the first place.
Bond Level 5
I don't like to cling to something I've already stolen.
But it's strange. I feel like I now have something I hold dear...something I want to always keep by my side and never have stolen from me.
But I know how to handle that.
The thing that's near me...its heart and soul...must be completely mine so that it will never be able to leave my side.
So be warned, Master.
I won't tolerate you pretending to be oblivious to the thief's calling card.
Conversation 1
Now, let us proceed, Master.
Where? you ask?
Ah, but of course I mean to the location of the last calling card.
Conversation 2
Servant and Master.
To rephrase it, that'll be the female thief and her assistant.
Right?
Conversation 3 (Male Protagonist)
Heh...looking at me so intently won't get you anything, my boy.
Conversation 3 (Female Protagonist)
You'll end up quite the bad girl if you try emulating me, my dear.
Conversation 4 (Elisabeth Bathory, Elisabeth (Halloween), Elisabeth (Brave))
Ohoho! What do I think about that lizard brat?
She is neither someone I hate nor is she the cause of my headaches... She was never on my radar in the first place!
Me, swimsuit. That thing, no swimsuit. Understand?
Conversation 5 (Anne & Mary, Anne & Mary (Archer), Francis Drake, Edward Teach, Bartholomew Roberts)
Don't lump me in with those dregs.
They fire cannons and raid ships...and then they just bleed them dry, right?
So reprehensibly boorish.
Conversation 6 (Ibaraki-Douji, Ibaraki (Lancer), Shuten-Douji, Shuten (Caster))
Don't lump me in with those dregs.
They raid human homes, just killing and eating and pillaging at will, right?
It's just so...dim-witted of them.
Conversation 7 (Queen Medb, Queen Medb (Saber))
Even as I've changed into this form, I still get along with Medb.
Her celebrity status helps...and the fact that she doesn't hold back about saying what she wants and using any means necessary to get it.
...Though I wouldn't want her as my partner because she stands out.
Likes
I like beautiful, expensive art.
Of course, that includes precious cargo I allow to sit next to me in the passenger's seat.
Dislikes
What I dislike?
Let's see...
Well, there's nothing wrong with being ordinary citizens...
But I just don't like those who use that as an excuse to dress poorly and act slovenly.
You needn't be a celebrity to have a bit of personal pride.
About the Holy Grail
The Holy Grail, huh?
Of course, I would steal anything suitably valuable.
But even if I were to send out a calling card now...
My first target and victim would be you. Are you sure about this?
During an Event
Everyone seems to be restless.
Don't you think now's the opportune time for thieves to make their move?
Birthday
This is the day of a party, proof of something wonderful happening...
A fleeting dream that wishes for eternity...
Heh...happy birthday, Master.
Summon
Ah, what a coincidence.
...I seem different than usual?
Hehe...you think so? Either way, the fact remains that I am nothing if not a dangerous woman.
You better watch yourself, Master.
