Dana Hero record
Dana is associated with Freeze and is commonly described as a Guard / Control option within Red Fox Mercenaries. Dana's spelling and appearance are present in Hound13 store material, screenshots, or video.
The stable decision is where Dana sits in a Signal sentence. For Dana, determine whether this slot creates the target state, answers it, or protects the exit. A useful Dana record names that function before listing damage numbers, because patches can change values without changing the logic of a three-slot formation.
Freeze Signal role
Use Dana to create a controlled pause that the next slot can recognize. The immediate follow-up for Dana is to use the frozen window for a safe switch or concentrated burst. This makes Dana's visible target state and the next available portrait more important than a fixed button string.
The main failure point for Dana is targets that resist control or leave the frozen hit box. Test Dana's sequence against a normal enemy, a heavy target, and a boss-sized hit box. If Dana's response misses, first change range or slot order; replacing the entire team makes it harder to identify which link failed.
Fit Dana into a three-Hero team
Write the formation as setup → state → response. If Dana opens, slot two must reliably answer Freeze. If Dana answers, preserve the required setup in slot one. The slot after Dana then extends control, finishes the damage window, or gives the party a safe reset.
Compare alternatives inside Dana's ailment family. For Dana, a different range, animation length, or defensive function can solve an encounter even when Freeze stays the same. Avoid treating Dana's community role as a permanent tier; the second-half roadmap already includes balance fixes and combat-control updates.
Field notes
- Confirm Dana's live Active Skill and Signal Skill wording before saving a final route.
- Test whether Freeze changes target position and follow-up range.
- Keep one dodge or exit option available during boss telegraphs.
- Record the patch date beside exact values after balance changes.
