Shining is a 6★ Medical Medic who specializes in (obviously) Healing and Support. As a Medical Medic, Shining heals one target at a time with a higher ATK than Ringhealer Medics at a range of 3×3 tiles with a 1-tile extension in front that is improved to 3×4 tiles at Elite 1, but with a higher DP cost.

Shining's Support specialization is represented by her first talent, Black Fiend's Protection, which slightly buffs the DEF of friendlies within her attack range (including Shining herself), improving their survivability against Physical attacks. Furthermore, all but one of Shining's skills allows her to make herself and her allies withstand Physical damage better than ever:

  • The first skill, Creed, is an ATK and ASPD buff which allows Shining to heal more HP at higher rate than normal.
  • The second skill, Auto Protect, have Shining generate a short-lasting Barrier on the friendly unit she heals on the next healing instance once charged which absorbs damage by a portion of Shining's ATK and increases their DEF, and can stack multiple charges at higher levels.
  • The third skill, Creed Field, buffs Shining's ATK and the DEF of friendly units within her healing range (including Shining herself) while active.

Shining's second talent, Code of Law, is an ASPD buff that allows her to heal friendlies rapidly, which synergizes with Silence's Booster Injection.

Shining has two Operator Modules, both of which further improves her already respectable healing capabilities:

  • Her PHY-X Module, "Followers" (not to be confused with the faction), increases the amount of HP she restores when healing friendlies whose HP had fallen below 50% by 15%, in addition to increasing her ATK and DEF; once upgraded, Code of Law's ASPD buff is increased and it also buffs her ATK or increases her SP generation rate when she uses Auto Protect or Creed Field, respectively.
  • Her PHY-Y Module, Withered Scabbard, increaeses Shining's healing effectiveness by 15% when she heals friendly units on melee tiles, in addition to increasing her ATK and ASPD; once upgraded, Black Fiend's Protection's DEF buff is enhanced and further increased for friendlies on melee tiles.

Shining's base skill, Thoughtfulness (Mercy at Elite 2), increases the morale recovery rate an Operator resting in a Dormitory whose morale aren't full by 0.55 (0.75 for Mercy) per hour when she is assigned to one.

Overall, Shining is perhaps the only Medic who can also bolster the Physical resilience of her allies, and thus she will be very valuable in situations which pits the player against hard-hitting enemies.
