Tips and Tricks

Role & Strategy

• Raining Champ is a unique offensive support fighter who grants the active fighter UNFLINCHING and BLESSING, while also increasing their Attack based on their current Health.

• The UNFLINCHING granted by her first Signature Ability makes her teammates resistant to BURSTS after reaching a 10-hit combo, making her an excellent partner for combo-heavy fighters like Squigly, Umbrella, Big Band, or Black Dahlia. This also synergizes well with her BUFF conditions, which are triggered by maintaining a high combo count.

• The BLESSING granted by her first Signature Ability provides teammates with a valuable safety net, giving them a second chance to recover after a mistake. When combined with UNFLINCHING, it allows fighters to push through enemy attacks without the fear of being knocked out. Pair this with a Marie who has the REINFORCED REVIVAL Marquee Ability, and fighters come back stronger and with increased health.

• Her second Signature Ability is particularly unique, as it converts a portion of the active fighter's Health into bonus Attack. With 5 stacks of BLESSING, Raining Champ boosts the active fighter's Attack by 20% of their current Health. Naturally, fighters with high Health pools benefit the most from this effect. Characters like Big Band, Squigly, Black Dahlia, Eliza, Marie, Robo-Fortune, and Valentine are especially strong partners for maximizing this ability.
  • Note that her damage boost is applied before any other damage modifiers like ENRAGE or DEATH MARK, meaning that her damage can scale even more.

• Marquee Ability: Raining Champ will benefit more from BITTER END as her Marquee Ability for additional sustain and FINAL STAND. She will also benefit from SWEET VICTORY as it provides ENRAGE which increases her damage, the safety net BITTER END provides can be replaced with the BLESSING that she gains from her own Signature Ability.
  • Due to her Signature Ability and access to healing through Umbrellas kit, she can also be built as a critless fighter.

Stat Investment

• General Investment: As an offensive Umbrella, Raining Champ is best built with Attack, Piercing, Meter Gain and Special Cooldown.
• Special investment: HP is another stat you can build on Raining Champ as it synergizes well with her Signature Ability. If built critless, HP should be focused above Attack as it provides her with more damage.

Trivia

• This variants color palette is a reference to Iris, the champion of the Unova Region from Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 from the Pokémon franchise, with her caption being a direct quote from the character. Furthermore, Hungern's color palette references Axew, the Pokémon she trains in Pokémon the Series: Black & White.
• This variants name is a play on the words "Reigning Champ", given that Iris is a champion in her game, while also referencing that an umbrella is used while it is raining.
