Orient-PR💟ISM, Kaname   Well, since there's bugger all else out until August you're basically stuck with Bermudas until then, so suck it up, regular visitors. Anyhow, Kaname. What we got here is Olyvia except she can be used anytime...just not anywhere, because she needs a PRISM heart. Both gain Crit, both bounce rear-guards then call back to chain attacks, and both need to be a second Stride for the most mileage.   However, by trading off timing and ease of use, she becomes way more situational. For the most part Olyvia is better. Olyvia can bounce EVERYTHING to the hand, whereas this will eventually have to call over rear-guards to get the most attacks in. Because this only bounces two things, you're encouraged to only bounce front row, so there's little synergy with Princess Leyte and similar. She needs Tytis, the new starter to have any use as a crutch, otherwise she's a dead card. So anything that retires Tytis fucks this right up.   Whatever she can combine with could probably cost less than a full bounce with Olyvia. Only use as a budget alternative, if this can be called that.   2.5/5

So sime PRISM stuff did squeeze theough for this set, how does it favor? well i'm not too keen on the other stuff yet (apart from the draw trigger) but Kaname has some good usefulness.   Being able to bounce and reser a field isn't anything new, but as a first stride she can create another attack easily enough and trigger your skillset. The extra crit if you're at GB2 is nice and all... but not wholly necessary. Vert is still the optimal finisher.   2.5/5
