Introduction to Kimberly's Awakening

Her Awakening Skill is highly compatible with the Energy Amplification mechanism of her Exclusive Weapon, making her one of the core damage output characters in the late game.

Overall Awakening Features:

After Awakening, the increase in damage resistance is not significant, but the core basic attributes such as HP, Attack, and Defense are almost doubled. Unlocking Awakening will immediately grant a high initial combat power bonus, and the attribute strength increases synchronously with the Awakening Star level and advancement level.

Combat Power Boost:

When the Awakening Star level is upgraded to 2 Stars, the squad can gain an additional 1.5 million combat power boost, which is a very significant improvement compared to previous upgrades.
