SBest Soldier 11 Build Guide
Written by Phạm Ngọc Bảo Châu ·
Playstyle Overview
Soldier 11 is an S-Rank Fire Attack Agent from the Standard Banner. She's basically free, yet she can keep up with some limited Agents. Everything revolves around Fire Suppression: time your Basic Attacks well and she unleashes stronger Fire slashes. After EX Special Attack: Fervent Fire, a Chain Attack or her Ultimate, her Basic and Dash Attacks are guaranteed to trigger Fire Suppression for 15s or 8 uses.
She needs few resources, so she can stay on-field for a long time and still burst hard during Stun. Her best partners are Stunners like Norma, Lighter or Dialyn, plus Astra Yao. Just build CRIT and ATK. The catch: she wants well-timed inputs and leans on specific teammates and limited W-Engines.

Assist
Her Core Skill boosts Fire Suppression and Basic Attack is her main damage source, so level those two first. Special Attack is also high priority, then Chain Attack/Ultimate, since their multipliers are huge during Stun. Dodge is worth leveling because Dash Attacks trigger Fire Suppression too; leave Assist for last.

Best Bangboo for Soldier 11
Rocketboo is the main pick for both the premium and F2P teams (it needs two Fire Agents, such as Norma or Ben); you can swap in Cryboo (same condition), Sumoboo or Avocaboo.
In the F2P team, Bagboo and Avocaboo also work; Avocaboo's healing makes it great early on.

Mindscape Cinema
Which Mindscapes Are Worth It?
M2 is the best place to stop since it directly boosts damage every time Fire Suppression triggers. M6 is also a very strong upgrade thanks to its Fire RES ignore. M4 only matters if you struggle to keep her alive, and M1 is held back by its long cooldown; M3 and M5 only add skill levels, so they're not counted.
- M1On entering combat or switching in with under 40 Energy, she's refilled to 80 (once every 50s). Handy, but the cooldown is long.
- M2Each Fire Suppression adds 3% Basic Attack, Dash Attack and Dodge Counter DMG, stacking up to 12 times. That's a very big damage upgrade.
- M4Fire Suppression on hits 1–3 or Dash Attacks raises Anti-Interrupt and cuts DMG taken by 18%, and on hit 4 grants invulnerability. Only worth it if you struggle to keep her alive.
- M6EX Specials, Chain Attacks and Ultimates grant 8 Charge stacks; each Fire Suppression consumes one to ignore 25% of the target's Fire RES.
M1Rapid HeatRecommended
When Soldier 11 enters combat or switches in, if her Energy is less than 40, her Energy is recovered to 80. This effect can trigger once every 50s.
Long-term high-intensity combat training allows Soldier 11 to complete mastery of her regulatory systems.
She will always strive to ensure that she's in the best shape for each and every battle.
M2Scorching ConvergenceRecommended
When triggering Fire Suppression, Basic Attack, Dash Attack, and Dodge Counter DMG increases by 3%, up to 12 stacks, lasting 15s, with the duration of each stack calculated separately.
"She may look cold and hard, like a big ice cube... But actually, she's scalding hot inside, like a blazing fire."
— From an anonymous soldier of the Obsidian Division
M3Elite Soldier
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
Soldier 11 always expects the most from herself, no matter if it's in training or physical combat. That is how she maintains her combat prowess.
M4Indulgent BlazeRecommended
If Fire Suppression is triggered during the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd hit of Soldier 11's Basic Attack or a Dash Attack, Anti-Interrupt Level increases and DMG received is reduced by 18% during skill activation.
If Fire Suppression is triggered during the 4th hit of her Basic Attack, she becomes invulnerable during skill activation.
She envies fire. And these smoldering flames will always help her.
M5Perfect Soldier
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
The road from elite to exemplar is long and difficult, but Soldier 11 grits her teeth and perseveres, as if there's something pushing her towards the goal of becoming a perfect soldier...
M6Scorching FlowRecommended
When Soldier 11 uses her EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, or Ultimate, she gains 8 stacks of Charge (max 8 stacks).
When Fire Suppression is triggered, 1 stack of Charge is consumed, causing the current move to ignore 25% of the target's Fire RES.
The flames of the sword distorted the air with their heat. Her movements grew ever more impassioned, as if that heat seeped into her spirit with every breath, igniting her thoughts.
