Exusiai the New Covenant Overview

Exusiai the New Covenant is a 6-star Celebration Limited Geek Specialist from Penguin Logistics, packing one of the most complete kits in the game into an operator with an 11 DP base cost. As a Geek, she loses 1% of her maximum HP per second, but her first talent Firepower FM turns every ammo consumption on the field into a self-heal and a chance to bombard enemies with Physical splash damage, keeping her topped off indefinitely. Her second talent, Covenant of Bullets, passively boosts the ATK of every ammo-using operator on the field, doubled for Laterano operators. Her primary skill, Shootoholic, loads 35 bullets with a reduced attack interval and deals high single-target damage with strong DPH, while also granting both her and an allied operator a massive Barrier, up to 6400 HP, making them capable of surviving hits that would otherwise be lethal. Her other primary skill, Guaranteed Success!, shifts to 5-shot bursts for even higher base DPS and deploys a Delivery Coordinates that instantly redeploys any waiting melee operator for free, restoring their SP in the process, a utility so powerful it fundamentally changes how deployments work.

Exusiai the New Covenant Talents

Below are Exusiai the New Covenant's talent breakdowns in Arknights:

Talent 1 - Firepower FM (Available from base, improves at E1 and E2)

Whenever any allied operator on the field consumes ammo, the New Covenant recovers 6% of her maximum HP. Each consumption also has a 25% chance to bombard enemies within that operator's range, dealing 150% ATK as Physical splash damage with a radius of 1.3. This triggers independently per ammo spent, meaning skills that consume multiple ammo per attack can proc it multiple times in a single swing. At Elite 1 the damage increases to 120% ATK, and at Elite 2 it reaches 150% ATK with the proc chance raising from 20% to 25%. The sustain from this talent is what counteracts the Geek HP drain, and with Guaranteed Success! firing 5-shot bursts, the healing and barrage procs stack up extremely fast.

Talent 2 - Covenant of Bullets (Unlocked at Elite 2)

Every operator on the field using an ammo-type skill gains +9% ATK, increasing to +13% ATK with Potential 4. The effect is doubled for Laterano operators, giving them up to +26% ATK. This is a passive team buff requiring no conditions beyond being deployed - the New Covenant simply needs to be on the field. It benefits herself on any of her three skills and applies to any other ammo user in the squad, making her quietly strong in faction comps or teams built around ammo-heavy operators.

Exusiai the New Covenant Skill Priority

Below are the skill upgrade and Mastery priorities for Exusiai the New Covenant in Arknights:

Skill	Priority
S2 - Shootoholic	★★★★★ (Highest)
S3 - Guaranteed Success!	★★★★★ (Equal Priority)
S1 - Sweeping the Skies	★★ (Low)

Get all three skills to Level 7 first before investing in any Mastery. Both S2 and S3 are essential, the target is M6, meaning both at M3. There is no objective reason to do one over the other first, but S2 has a slight edge for general use due to its higher DPH and the Barrier. Start there, then immediately follow with S3.

S2 - Shootoholic (M3) - Best Choice

Shootoholic loads 35 bullets with a reduced attack interval and her best damage per hit. On activation it Steals ASPD from one ally in range, granting both a Barrier scaling up to 6400 HP, enough to tank hits that would kill most operators outright. The Barrier applies to the New Covenant herself even with no Steal target. The ASPD debuff is easily managed, pass it to a Defender, an off-skill DPS, a robot, or anyone who doesn't need it, and can be instantly removed by toggling the skill off. Mastery significantly improves both ATK and Barrier size, making it a priority investment.

S3 - Guaranteed Success! (M3) - Equal Priority

Guaranteed Success! loads 50 bullets and shifts attacks into 5-shot bursts, boosting base DPS above S2 while also turbocharging Firepower FM sustain. Each activation also makes a Delivery Coordinates available — when deployed, it instantly redeploys any waiting melee operator for free and restores SP, bypassing one of the game's core resource systems entirely. The redeploy utility alone is worth the Mastery. Pursue immediately after S2.

S1 - Sweeping the Skies - Skip

Sweeping the Skies prioritizes aerial targets and buffs damage across 8 bullets, functioning similarly to the original Exusiai. It has some niche value and a fast cycle, but lacks the Barrier and redeploy utility that make S2 and S3 essential. No reason to invest Mastery here for most players.

Exusiai the New Covenant Module

Module Information
Module	GEE-X - Convenience Kit for New Friends
Recommended Stage	Stage 2
Priority	High - pursue after S2M3

The GEE-X module increases the New Covenant's max HP and ATK at Stage 1 and grants +0.25 SP recovery per second while her HP stays above 80% — a condition easily maintained through Firepower FM's constant self-healing. Stage 2 raises Firepower FM's barrage proc chance and explosion damage, directly amplifying a talent that already contributes a meaningful chunk of her total DPS output. Since Firepower FM triggers on every ammo consumption across the entire team, the damage increase compounds quickly in practice. Stage 3 is worth pursuing for players going all-in, but Stage 2 covers the most impactful gains. Pursue it after S2M3.
