SunbornWho is Dushevnaya?
Dushevnaya is an Elite Doll (SSR) who is a member of the Support class. She is known for buffing her team’s Freeze damage and providing AoE Freeze debuffs that weaken foes.
Her official description describes her as a “ highly sensitive Doll who has lost her neural records,” and that she is “persistently searching for her past and wholeheartedly fulfilling the requests of others.”

Best Dushevnaya weapon
SunbornThe best Dushevnaya weapon is the Eulogistic Verse rifle. This signature weapon ignores 10% of the target’s defense when a phase weakness is exploited. This goes up to 20% when an enemy is weak to ice, which pairs incredibly well with Dushevnaya’s Freeze abilities.
If that wasn’t enough, Eulogisitc Verse also increases damage whenever a user has Insight or if an enemy has a Freeze debuff. This means you’ll be able to set up some one-shot damage onto squishy targets and make a significant dent in tankier opponents.
If you don’t have access to Eulogistic Verse then you can always use Makiatto’s signature weapon (Bittersweet Caramel) if you unlocked it during her banner run. Samosek is also a great option and can be obtained for free by using your Redundant Pieces in the in-game shop.
Failing that, the Walther WA 2000 is the best free-to-play SR option. You can read all the traits and effects for each weapon in the table below:
| WEAPON | TRAIT | EFFECT |
| Eulogistic Verse (SSR) | If a phase weakness is exploited, ignores 10% of the target’s defense. If it is a Freeze phase weakness, ignores another 10% of defense. | When the user has Insight, increases damage dealt by 10/12/14/16/18/20%. Before an allied unit makes an active attack, if the target has Freeze debuffs, increases Freeze damage dealt by 5/6/7/8/9/10%. If the target has Frigid, this damage increase is enhanced to 10/12/14/16/18/20%. |
| Bittersweet Caramel (SSR) | Increases damage dealt to Paradeus units by 2.5%. If the target is inflicted with Frozen, this bonus is further boosted by an additional 2.5%. | Increases Freeze damage dealt by 10%. For every 4 instances of damage dealt outside of the user’s turn, increases damage dealt by the next active attack by 10%. |
| Samosek (SSR) | Attacks ignore 1 point of Stability index. When possessing Insight, additionally ignore another 1 point of Stability index. | Phase Damage is increased by 10/12/14/16/18/20%. Electric Damage is increased by another 10/12/14/16/18/20%. |
| Walther WA 2000 (SR) | Ignores 10% of the target’s defense. Ignores an additional 10% for targets with Freeze debuffs. | If HP is above 80%, off-turn damage increases by 10/12/14/16/18/20%. |
Best Dushevnaya team comp
SunbornTo make Dushevnaya truly shine on the battlefield, you’ll need to pair her with characters that synergize well with her Freeze abilities. So, we recommend using the following team comp to get the best results on each stage.
As Dushevnaya specializes in weakening her enemies with Freeze debuffs, you’ll want to build a Freeze team that can capitalize off this. That’s where Makiatto comes in as she’ll be able to deliver even more damage, while Suomi’s tanks shields and healing will be able to keep everyone safe from harm.
Her added Freeze abilities also further capitalize on the debuffs provided by Dushevnaya. We recommend rounding off this team with Qiongjiu, as her deadly support attacks still make her the best single-target DPS Doll in the entire game.
The added Burn damage is also nice for when you’re enemies aren’t weak to Freeze. This means you’ll consistently be able to exploit enemy weaknesses.
