Prune's Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
Prune is one of the strongest universal ATK buffers in the game, providing a massive team-wide damage increase through her ATK-scaling buffs.
- As an Anemo support, she can utilize Viridescent Venerer, allowing her to provide powerful resistance shred while also enabling Swirl-based reactions.
- Prune is extremely easy to play, with a simple rotation that requires minimal field time while still providing consistent buffs and off-field utility.
- Prune synergizes exceptionally well with ATK-scaling DPS characters, making her a highly flexible support option across a wide range of team compositions.
- As a Hexerei unit, Prune gains access to additional buffs when paired with other Hexerei characters, further increasing her overall team value.
Weaknesses
While Prune provides strong buffs, her personal damage is very low, meaning her overall value depends heavily on the strength of her teammates.
- Prune requires high ATK investment to maximize her buffs, which can make her more demanding to build compared to other supports.
- Her reliance on Swirl means she is less effective in teams where consistent elemental application is not available.
- Prune’s full potential is best realized in Hexerei teams, making her slightly less optimal in non-Hexerei compositions.
- She provides little defensive utility outside of minor crowd control, requiring additional sustain options in more difficult content.

Prune's Talents
Normal Attack
Performs up to 3 attacks by swinging the Banehunter Oathhammer, dealing Anemo DMG.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina and performs an upward hammer swing, dealing Anemo DMG to opponents in front.
Plunging Attack
Calling upon the power of Anemo, she plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals AoE Anemo DMG upon impact with the ground.
Unleash the wind's might to defeat the evil witch and save Descartes! Prune strikes the Witchlure Bell with her Banehunter Oathhammer, dealing Anemo DMG.
If Prune triggers Swirl on an opponent using this attack, Ring-A-Ding-Ding! Hexhunter Chime will be changed to Clang Clang! Witch-tribution Comes! for the next 6s.
Clang Clang! Witch-tribution Comes!
Prune's hammer is now enshrouded by the element involved in the previous Swirl reaction, causing Banehunter Oathhammer to undergo Elemental Conversion. When activated with a Press, Prune will leap up and kick the Banehunter Oathhammer forward, dealing Elemental DMG of the corresponding type to opponents in front of her.
Prune gently swings the Witchlure Bell, dealing Anemo DMG to nearby opponents. After this, the Bell will enter the Hunter-Seeker mode.
Witchlure Bell: Hunter-Seeker
In this mode, the Witchlure Bell will follow the current active character, attacking surrounding opponents at intervals and dealing AoE Anemo DMG. This DMG is considered Elemental Burst DMG.
Prune's Ascension Passive Talents
During the Elemental Burst The Bell Tolls! The Hunt is On!, after the Witchlure Bell in Hunter-Seeker mode deals DMG to an opponent, if this DMG triggers Swirl on an opponent, it will also summon a Banehunter Oathhammer that will deal 150% of Prune's ATK as DMG to them, with the DMG Type matching the Elemental Conversion from the Swirl. This DMG is considered Elemental Burst DMG.
After Prune hits an opponent with the Banehunter Oathhammer that has undergone Elemental Conversion, other nearby party members will gain the Tolling Rally effect for 5s: When Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks, or Elemental Skills and Bursts deal DMG to opponents, that attack's DMG will be increased based on the portion of Prune's ATK in excess of 1,000. Every excess ATK point increases that instance of DMG by 0.01%, up to a total of 35% max.
Has a 10% chance to get 1 regional Character Talent Material (base material excluded) when crafting. The rarity is the same as the resulting material.
After completing TEST, Prune becomes a Hexerei character. When the party includes at least 2 Hexerei characters, you gain the Hexerei: Secret Rite effect, which enhances Hexerei characters.
Hexerei: Secret Rite
After a Hexerei character in the party affected by the Tolling Rally effect triggers an Elemental Reaction in the opponent, Prune's ATK is increased by 45% for 5s. If the Elemental Reaction triggered is a Swirl Reaction, the triggering character's ATK will additionally be increased by 20% for 5s.
Prune's Constellations
After the Banehunter Oathhammer that has undergone Elemental Conversion hits an opponent, Prune will regain 2 Energy. This effect can occur once every 1.8s.
During the Elemental Burst The Bell Tolls! The Hunt is On!, when the Witchlure Bell is in Hunter-Seeker mode, Prune gains the Hunt the Witch effect: Prune's ATK increases by 10%, and when the Witchlure Bell and the Banehunter Oathhammer that has undergone Elemental Conversion hits an opponent, it further increases her ATK by 5%. Prune's ATK can be increased by up to 40% in this way.
Increases the Level of The Bell Tolls! The Hunt is On! by 3.
