Esme the Dancer: Skills and Abilities

Esme the Dancer is a legendary Barbarian Support champion. Her kit is packed with buffs and debuffs, making her a formidable asset against challenging foes like the Hydra and Chimera. Think of her as a slightly less potent version of Uugo, but with some exciting additions. Her ability to boost the turn meter of your highest ATK champion by 50% each turn is incredibly powerful, especially when strategically paired with other champions. Consider using a Provoke set to draw attacks towards her, or deploying her against enemies who rely heavily on AoE attacks. However, keep in mind that her buffs don't have perfect uptime, so pairing her with a Buff Extension champion is recommended for enhanced effectiveness.
