Tips and Tricks[]

Thrill Shrieker is an offensive fighter with a Signature Ability that allows her to gain timeless ENRAGE for every DRAGON CHARGE. However, the highlight to her abilities is her second Signature Ability that allows her to automatically reduce up to 50% of the opponent's health from a single OUTTAKE while she has ENRAGE. This allows her to defeat the strongest defenders such as Heavy Metal and Brain Freeze without much effort by continually spamming OUTTAKE, as long as she can maintain her ENRAGE.

While Thrill Shrieker can gain ENRAGE by gaining DRAGON CHARGE, her second Signature Ability simply relies on her benefitting from ENRAGE. Hence, using support fighters that can grant ENRAGE to her such as Rerun or Oh Mai are also an option.

It is recommended to equip more than one BASSO BUFFO to allow her to keep using OUTTAKE on the opponent. Furthermore, pair her up with Harlequin which reduces the cooldown of special moves to easily spam OUTTAKES and reduce the opponent's health.

Marquee Ability: Either Marquee Ability works with Thrill Shrieker since both conditions require her to be dead. EVIL DEAD can be useful on the offense to inflict both CURSE and WITHER, making it easier for the next fighter to defeat opponents. DEAD ALIVE is better to be used defensively, providing other teammates FINAL STAND to increase the longevity of your defensive fighters and stall for time.

Stat Investment: As an offensive variant, Thrill Shrieker will benefit from investment in ATK, Piercing and Meter Gain to increase her damage output and quickly charge blockbusters to finish opponents.

Thrill Shrieker is an effective counter against nodes with the Futile Resistance catalyst as she automatically reduces their health by 50%, allowing her to attack Big Band without fear of reflect damage.

This variant is a reference to the famous singer Michael Jackson, specifically in his Thriller music video which features dancing zombies with its caption being a lyric to the song.
