Pozёmka is a Heavyshooter Sniper who utilizes her skills and summon to deal high amounts of damage at a medium range in a straight line ahead of her. Her range is already quite flexible for the damage she offers, but she’s also capable of placing a Typewriter to engage enemies from any deployable ranged tile, making for an easy-to-set-up duo. With proper positioning, she and her summon can deal with even high-priority targets relatively quickly thanks to high multipliers and a powerful DEF debuff.

Pozёmka has almost the same max ATK as Schwarz, another 6-star Heavyshooter, but gains less of it from her trust bonus, as it is split between ATK and DEF.

Strengths

  • High performance ceiling and floor against a wide range of DEF and reasonable SP costs mean she can be used against different kinds of enemies in different situations
  • Typewriter replicates all of her skills and has a similar ATK stat, allowing her to effectively engage targets in different parts of the map or to almost double her damage output on one target
  • Typewriter has a relatively short redeployment time, decent duration and range, and is invulnerable to all damage and debuffs

Weaknesses

  • Performance is highly dependent on Typewriter attacking the same target as Pozёmka for its significant output and DEF debuff
  • Peak damage output during S3 can be hard to reach due to lack of placement options on some maps
  • Typewriter cannot be buffed, which means it cannot effectively replace Pozёmka in terms of damage if buffs are taken into account

Note: This summon does not take up a deploy slot.

The Typewriter opens up a lot of possibilities for Pozёmka, allowing her to support allies from across the map, and out of harm's way. It also lets her double down on a target, holding a significant portion of her damage output.

Stenographer of Weaknesses

Attacks from the 'Typewriter' reduce the target's DEF by 18% for 4 seconds; if the 'Typewriter' is placed within the 4 tiles adjacent to Pozëmka, this effect increases to 23%

This talent lets Pozёmka support allies and raises the bar for the levels of DEF she can face. Tying the DEF shred to the Typewriter and granting it a bonus near Pozёmka allows players to pick whether they want focused peak damage output or whether they’re fine spreading it out.

Ideally the summon should be positioned in front of or behind her, so their attack ranges overlap. They can still attack the same target and reach peak output if positioned side-by-side with the use of splitboxing. Thankfully, in a lot of cases, they don't have to be positioned directly to each other, as they already reach extremely high DPS even without the higher DEF debuff.

ATK +60%; When attacking, has a 40% chance to deal 225% damage
Unlimited duration

A simple but effective consistent damage skill. It holds up surprisingly well even without the Typewriter up to very high DEF values due to the high multiplier and frequent crits. The biggest issue is the initial cooldown; the skill has a high offensive recovery SP cost which, with her somewhat slow attack interval, can take a long time even in ideal circumstances. Various SP batteries can reduce the wind-up time, but are usually not worth taking purely to support the initial charge of Pozёmka's infinite skill.

Skill Mastery

Recommended Rank
Mastery 2+
Priority
Low

Masteries improve this skill in every way, reducing the SP cost and improving average and peak damage. Its main disadvantages are the lack of a range extension and long charging time. The Typewriter is also significantly weaker with this skill compared to the other two. As for the mastery levels themselves, M2 is the most important one as it boosts the crit chance of the skill, resulting in higher average damage. M3 can be considered but is relatively expensive for average gains. It's by no means a bad skill and can be used as a consistent damage option, even if outshined by her S3.

Note: This skill can only be activated based on targets in Pozёmka’s own skill range; typewriter’s attack range is not extended by this skill.

Pozёmka’s second skill is used to eliminate elite enemies in a short time window. Its average damage is lower than that of S1, but it makes up for it with a high and quick burst. Generally, for the best output, both charges should be used while the summon is deployed and has a target in range, but that will sometimes be hard to achieve, so simply use the skill as needed. S2’s biggest downside is that it can only be activated when Pozёmka has a target in range. This means the summon can not be used as a ranged fast-redeploy assassination tool independently of her, which limits its practical use to taking down elites alongside Pozёmka.

S2 shines especially in low time-on-target situations. Often, with proper timing, both charges can be used on the same priority target resulting in a very high burst of damage. That said, the skill can end up being wasted if both Pozёmka and the Typewriter target the same low HP enemy. Do mind the positioning, as they both use the same (default) targeting priority.

Skill Mastery

Recommended Rank
Mastery 3
Priority
Low

The skill itself is good, with even better mastery gains. The last mastery level gives an important decrease in the Typewriter’s redeployment time, lower SP cost, and some additional damage on top. Overall, it is overshadowed by her S3, which will be her go-to skill most of the time. Investment in S2 is not a bad idea, but should be carefully considered.

Note: This skill extends the Typewriter’s range by one tile.

S3 is going to be Pozёmka’s most used skill for a majority of players. It offers high burst damage, which is even higher in a straight line ahead of Pozёmka. This skill is one of the better burst DPS tools available in the game thanks to its high multipliers and Pozёmka’s Typewriter. It technically doesn’t scale as well with buffs as other similar skills, due to a significant portion of the damage being locked behind an unbuffable summon, but in practice buffing Pozёmka herself is more than enough in a lot of cases.

Positioning Pozёmka and her Typewriter with this skill equipped can be quite tricky if you want peak output. If going for one target, such as a boss, position the Typewriter ahead of or behind Pozёmka and make sure they’ll both have the target in their extended ranges. A lot of bosses stop moving for a short window of time, so study the map beforehand to know where to best deploy her and the summon. If you want to split the damage of the skill between two or more enemies, you get a lot more freedom in positioning. Pozёmka is more flexible with her range than the summon, thus, the latter should be mostly used to take down stationary targets or hold down narrow lanes if the tiles allow for it.

Pozёmka’s third skill is undeniably a great DPS tool. It has almost everything one could ask for in such a skill: high damage output and total damage, decent cycle, good scalability with buffs, and flexibility in targeting. The masteries improve the skill significantly, with M3 being the strongest one. It should be treated with a high priority by anyone looking for an easy way to take down bosses and elites.

Can summon a much stronger 'Typewriter' for 25s; the 'Typewriter' has the same skill as this unit, and has its own Redeployment Time

Note: Typewriter does not inherit the additional trait from the stage 1 module. Level 2 ATK gain is +50, and level 3 is +70.

Pozёmka’s first module is great for her specialty of focused burst damage in a line ahead of her. It synergizes greatly with her most used skill and allows her to ignore one of the harder-to-deal-with mechanics in the game. Stages 2 and 3 simply boost the damage of her summon, partially making up for its inability to be buffed and gain trust bonuses.

Recommended Stage
Stage 1+
Priority
High

Anyone who uses Pozёmka often should prioritize this module as one of the more valuable ones. The stage 1 upgrade is very much worth it, whereas stages 2 and 3 remain up to the player’s choice. Pozёmka can function well without her Typewriter’s additional ATK, but the additional damage multiplier and dodge ignore are extremely valuable and come at a much lower price than the further upgrades.
