# Thoma ## Roles * **Off-Field DPS** (Elemental Burst) * **Support:** Shielder, Buffer (C6), Cleanser (Self) ## Character Breakdown * **Elemental Skill** deals **AoE** **Pyro** **DMG**, applies **Pyro** to Thoma, and creates a shield. * The shield's **DMG** absorption scales with Thoma's **Max HP**. * **Elemental Burst** deals **AoE** **Pyro** **DMG** and causes the active character's **Normal Attacks** to deal additional **Pyro** **DMG** and create a small shield. * The additional **Pyro DMG** from **Normal Attacks** can only be triggered every 1s. * The shield's **DMG** absorption scales with Thoma's **Max HP**. * **A4** causes the additional **Pyro DMG** dealt from **Normal Attacks** while Thoma's **Elemental Burst** is active to be increased by 2.2% of Thoma's **Max HP**. * All of Thoma's shields can stack on top of each other, refreshing the duration and combining their shield **HP.** * Thoma's combined shield **HP** cannot exceed a certain amount. * **A2** increases the active characters Shield Strength by 5% for 6 seconds every time one of Thoma's shields is created or refreshed, up to a 25% increase. ## Additional Notes * Often paired with another **Pyro** character, as Thoma's low energy generation makes it difficult to use his **Elemental Burst**. * **C4** restores 15 Energy to Thoma after using his **Elemental Burst**. * **C6** increases **Normal**, **Charged**, and **Plunging Attack** **DMG** by 15% for the party for 6 seconds whenever Thoma creates or refreshes a shield. ##
