Velina Overview
Velina is a S-Rank Wind Anomaly Agent who is the first Wind character to be introduced to us. She plays similiarly to other Anomaly characters of her Role; however, her Wind Attribute is what makes her stand out from them. Rather than triggering Disorders with other Attributes, the Vortex effect will be triggered instead. In combat, whenever Velina triggers Vortex, a small Condensed Cyclone is summoned, and she gains 1 stack of WIndbite. After accumilating 2 Windbite stacks, Velina can then summon Sweeping Cyclone the next time Vortex is triggered. This attack is a far stronger version of her usual cyclones, having a higher DMG Multiplier that comes with Attribute shred. What's more, Sweeping Cyclone can be infused with other Attributes, dealing the corresponding DMG instead of Wind DMG. When Velina's cyclones dissipate, they'll explode and trigger Abloom. Velina also gains Windbloom from dealing DMG and using her skills; with sufficient Windbloom, holding Basic Attack or Special Attack will make her summon a Sweeping Cyclone and trigger a Quick Assist.
Velina Skill Priority
Below are the best skill priorities for Velina:
| Skill | Priority |
| ★★★★★ (Top) | |
| ★★★★ (Top) | |
| ★★★ (High) | |
| ★★★★ (Top) | |
| ★ (Low) | |
| ★ (Low) |
Velina's Core Skill has a significant impact on her Attribute Anomaly and Abloom DMG, making it the most prioritised skill when upgrading her. Keep in mind that Velina's main source of damage comes from her Anomaly procs, which don't scale on skill levels, so general skill upgrades don't have as much impact. That shouldn't stop you from levelling up her skills, however, as their contribution is still noticeable in the long run. Her Special Attack and Basic Attack should be the first skills you upgrade after finishing her Core Skill, they're the most frequently used skills and their DMG multiplier is pretty solid. Sitting below those two is her Chain Attack, it's a hard-hitting skill, but its scarce usage limits the value you can get from it. Finally, her Dodge and Assist skills should only be upgraded once you've properly developed her other skills, as their contribution is negligible.
Velina Best W-Engines
As an Anomaly character, Velina wants as much Anomaly Mastery, Anomaly Proficiency and ATK as possible. However, before getting those stats, you must prioritise Energy Regen, as her Core Skill and Anomaly Buildup potential relies heavily on this stat. Among the vast choices of Anomaly W-Engines, her Signature W-Engine, Joyau Dore, is her strongest pick. We recommend you secure this W-Engine in order to get the most out of Velina.
| Best choice | |
Joyau Dore (S-Rank) |

| Alternatives | |
Flamemaker Shaker (S-Rank) |
|
Weeping Gemini (A-Rank) |
|
Electro-Lip Gloss (A-Rank) |

Fusion Compiler (S-Rank) |

Velina Best Drive Disk Sets
Velina is best suited for the Wuthering Salon Drive Disk Set owing to its amazing buffs towards Wind Anomaly. For her 2-piece choice, you can choose from Phaethon's Melody, Freedom Blues, Puffer Electro and Astral Voice depending on the stats she needs and the team you're using.

Velina Best Teams
Velina works best when she's paired with other Anomaly characters, as she's only a Sub-DPS. Doing this also activates her Additional Core Ability which increases her Attribute Anomaly and Abloom DMG. There are exceptions to this rule however, as Velina is anti-synergetic with characters whose kit ties closely to Disorders, such as Miyabi and Yanagi. We don't recommend you pairing her with them.
1. Velina Premium Teams
Jane, Alice, Promeia and Aria are incredibly powerful when paired with Velina thanks to her low field time and amazing interactions with their respective Attributes. For the third member slot, we recommend choosing Yuzuha or Sunna, just make sure their Additional Core Ability is activated.
| Main DPS | Support | |
Jane (S-Rank) | Velina (S-Rank) | Yuzuha (S-Rank) |
Alice (S-Rank) | Velina (S-Rank) | Yuzuha (S-Rank) |
Promeia (S-Rank) | Velina (S-Rank) | Yuzuha (S-Rank) |
Aria (S-Rank) | Velina (S-Rank) | Sunna (S-Rank) |
2. Velina Free To Play Teams
Velina's Free to play options aren't bad at all. Piper has always been a solid Anomaly character despite being an A rank, and Grace is now a lot better with her new Potential Unlocks. They're both very strong for free characters. Lucy and Rina might be in a tough spot right now compared to newer Supports, but they can still get the job done if you play carefully.
| Main DPS | Support | |
Piper (S-Rank) | Velina (S-Rank) | Lucy (A-Rank) |
Grace (S-Rank) | Velina (S-Rank) | Rina (S-Rank) |
