Synergy With Piper
Freedom Blues
As a four-piece set, Freedom Blues willboost Piper’s Anomaly Proficiency. Her Special Attack can decrease Anomaly Buildup Resistance as well.
Fanged Metal
As a four-piece set, Fanged Metal can serve Piper well byincreasing her Physical DMG and her DMG when another squad member inflicts Assaulton an enemy. When paired with a two-piece set of Freedom Blues, you get the best of both worlds.
Swing Jazz
