Name: Blemishine

Quote: The light will stay here!

Specialty: Artisan skills, Originium Arts (light), knight jousting

-------------

"Knight of Kazimierz, codename "Blemishine". Hey—I've heard my sister talk a lot about you, Doctor, just calling me Maria is fine too."

-------------

Maria Nearl, the second daughter of the Kazimierz Nearl family, sister of the Radiant Knight Margaret Nearl.

To prevent the Nearl family from losing its knight family status due to it missing its head knight, the young Maria had to step up and become a jousting knight. In the Kazimierz competition where honor is uncommon, Maria experienced a short but treacherous path of the knights. When she lifted her head and looked to the confetti that filled the sky, the hefty prize pool, the fanatic crowd, the endless commercials and the noisy commentators, she truly began to doubt the homeland she stood on.

But her radiance did not fade. Quite the opposite, these experiences were only a baptism. A baptism about her path, and the purity of faith.

Blemishine is a 6★ Healing Defender, though it is worth noting that her Attack Range seems to include 1 grid in front of her, unlike the other Healing Defenders, who's attack range is only the grid they are standing on.  Her Talent prioritizes Slumbering enemies and improves her damage to them.  All of her Skills heal her allies while providing additional benefit: S1 increases her Physical damage, S2 applies the Slumbering crowd-control effect to all enemies sharing her grid, and S3 improves her ATK and DEF while dealing additional Arts Damage.

Talents and Skills

Trait: Can heal allies by using the skill

Talent: Blemishine can attack and will prioritize [Slumbering] enemies. When attacking [Slumbering] enemies, increase ATK.

Skill 1: The next attack will deal a certain amount of physical damage and recover a nearby ally's HP.

Your loss is my gain!

Skill 2: During skill activation, increase ATK and immediately inflict [Slumber] against all ground enemies within the same tile as herself (invincible + cannot take action). Additionally, all nearby allies recover a certain amount of HP every second.

what a night-mare

Skill 3: During skill activation, increase ATK and DEF. Every attack will deal an additional amount of Arts damage and recover another nearby ally's HP.

Never too much Nearl

First Impressions

Note: These are first impressions and based on conjecture since we don’t know the exact details. 

Blemishine will be the second 6★ Healing Defender, the first being the much loved Saria.  It does appear that Blemishine will have an extra grid as part of her Attack Range compared to other Healing Defenders, but we feel at the moment this is not enough to warrant a new Archetype (much like Liskarm, Hoshi, and Nian as Normal Defenders), though we will consider it if it appears it makes a significant difference in how this type of Operator would be used.

Her Talent appears to have limited applicability in the current game, as the only way to apply the [Slumbering] effect is through the use of Sora's S1, or Blemishine's own S2.

S1 causes the next attack to do additional damage and also heal.  The nice thing about this is that damage is still done while healing, but the downside is that if there is no enemy to attack, then she will not heal injured Operators.

S2 is an AoE heal-over-time skill that also causes enemies in her grid to [Slumber] (invincible + cannot take action).  This could be a great defensive tool to mitigate damage (one of Saria's biggest weaknesses), or to stall a rush of enemies that might otherwise pass her by.

Notable with S3 is an increase in DEF, a mitigation buff that, as mentioned earlier, Saria lacks.  It also provides a source of additional Arts damage, though whether it will have much of an impact or not will depend on the numbers.
