Olivia, Festival Dancer

As the only colorless Dancer/Singer, she cannot be used to shut down an entire color like others can with Triangle Adept. PA!Olivia's niche, however, lies in her stat spread that specializes her against mages.

Dancers/Singers are the ultimate support units in my opinion. They can give buffs with their C slot and Sacred Seal slot; counter any color their team has trouble with (besides PA!Olivia since she is colorless); and most importantly, Dance and Sing their teammates to massacre the rest of the enemy team, to retreat, or to undo a minor mistake.

As support units, a bad nature will not impact Dancers/Singers as negatively as it will affect combat units since their primary job is to Assist their allies rather than fight. Unless a specific nature is absolutely needed to counter a specific threat, natures are not too important.

With Kitty Paddle, PA!Olivia can shut down most mages besides the bulkiest mages and Raven mages. If seasonal Weapons are not an option, Rogue Dagger and Poison Dagger are decent alternatives.

Kitty Paddle+: This allows her to shut down mages, but it is pretty expensive.

Seashell+/Rogue Dagger+: Seashell is better for first round tanking and countering, while Rogue Dagger is better in terms of sustainability.

Kagami Mochi+ — Iceberg: Dagger version of Slaying Weapons. This allows her to run Iceberg instead of Moonbow.

Poison Dagger+: This allows her to shut down mage infantry and infantry without Distant Counter.

Glimmer: This is better than Moonbow when running effective Weapons like Kitty Paddle and Poison Dagger.

Resistance 3: This gives her more Player Phase flexibility.

Breath of Life 3 / [flexible passive C]
Breath of Life 3 / Phantom Speed 3 / [flexible Sacred Seal]

With three stacks of Breath of Life, PA!Olivia can heal up to 21 HP per attack. PA!Olivia can also run Watersweep and Windsweep to debuff enemies safely.

+Spd — Speed +3/Life and Death 3/Fury 3 — Watersweep 3/Windsweep 3 — Phantom Speed 3: This combo allows her to safely attack certain ranged or Distant Counter enemies, so she can heal her allies.

Wings of Mercy 3/Escape Route 3: These skills allows her to teleport around to Assist her allies.

Renewal 3: This allows her to heal herself. Additionally, if she is running Fury for tanking, Renewal helps offset the Fury damage.

Player Phase offense:
General use, Arena Assault

PA!Olivia is not the best unit to run an offensive Player Phase set in my opinion, but it is an option if you choose to build her that way. She will need to rely on Kitty Paddle and Poison Dagger to deal meaningful damage.

Kitty Paddle+/Poison Dagger+: She needs the effective damage that these Weapons provide to reliably deal damage.

Kagami Mochi+ — Luna/Iceberg: Dagger version of Slaying Weapons. This allows her to run Luna or Iceberg instead of Moonbow.

Wings of Mercy 3/Escape Route 3: These skills allow him to teleport around to Assist his allies.
