Digest written by fable from TacticalBreakfast, AK Tier List (ex-GamePress) · 2026-10-23
Tier C- among Supporters. A 5★ Artificer whose buffs are usable, particularly in certain meme buff comps, but the archetype is clunky to use and her Mastery gains are poor.
- S2M3
- Story grade None. Improves her DEF ignore by only 40-55 depending on Module level; most gains sit in personal buffs that are rarely a good use of Artificers.
- S1M3
- Story grade None. Trades the extra DEF ignore for ASPD and uptime; can win out with slower-interval, higher-DPH units, but S1 cannot renew her batteries.
Neither skill earns a Story Mastery grade. If she or buff comps appeal to you, S2 leans better into what she does differently; S1 depends on the units you pair her with.

How far to invest
Alanna is yet another 5★ Artificer that doesn't do quite enough to be impressive. Her buffs are usable, particularly if you favor certain meme buff comps, but even then the archetype is just very clunky to use. Worse for Alanna, as far as this guide goes, she has pretty bad Mastery gains too! If either she or those buff comps appeal to you, you could potentially go with either of her skills for Mastery, but her S2 leans a little better into what she does differently than others. As noted though, the gains on it are quite poor. It only improves her DEF ignore by 40-55, depending on Module level, which isn't nothing, but also not enough to make or break her usage. Much of the gains instead seem to be loaded into her personal buffs which just aren't a good use of Artificers outside of some very rare niches. Her S1 could also be a choice, largely depending on the types of units you plan to use her with. It trades the extra DEF ignore for ASPD and uptime. S2's DEF ignore will usually come out ahead, but the ASPD can win out if you're using slower-interval higher-DPH units that benefit less from the DEF ignore. But do note that S1 has no way to renew her batteries either, so it's not n
