Plaxi The Monarch guide: skills, build and team roles
Overview
Plaxi the Monarch is a Legendary Fire Support from the Eldrin Faction in Invokers: Titan Legacy. She helps allies deal more damage, get their Skills back sooner and reach both Ultimate Mana and Titan Mana, then adds a protective Shield. Her resource Skills reward a team that places debuffs, and her own kit places buffs rather than hostile debuffs.
Monarch's Mark builds its Shield from the damage she deals and her MAX HP, so ATK and HP both matter to her. Fully Awakened and before Gear, Plaxi has 867 ATK, 862 DEF and 10,845 HP. Her ATK is high for a Support, and her HP is about average.
Skills To Prioritize
Cinderlily Spark gives nearby allies ATK Up and Recovery Up for sixteen seconds. At Level 10 the values are 50% and 30%. Max Level raises ATK Up to 55%, keeps Recovery Up at 30% and lowers the base cooldown from 25 to 24 seconds.
The ATK buff is a big help to allies whose damage or healing scales from ATK. It doesn't improve every formula equally, and if another Support already places a stronger ATK Up, the stronger one applies. Recovery Up works with the recipient's existing stats and the game's cooldown rules, so 30% doesn't mean exactly 30% less cooldown on every Skill. It isn't a Skill SPD or Combo SPD buff either.
Glowburst grants Ultimate Mana to Plaxi and one random ally, based on the debuffs on the enemy it attacks. The amount is fourteen per effect at Level 10 and fifteen at Max Level. The ally who receives it is random, so your damage dealer isn't guaranteed to get it.
Flutterflash grants Titan Mana through a fixed amount plus an extra amount per debuff. At Level 10 that's 250 fixed Titan Mana plus twenty per debuff, with the extra amount capped at 350. Max Level raises the fixed amount to 300 and the cap to 400. The cap applies to the extra debuff-based amount, not the combined total, and getting the most out of it still needs enough debuffs on the target. Plaxi places no hostile debuffs herself, so your allies have to set that up.
Ultimate Mana and Titan Mana do different jobs. Don't combine them into one generic refund, and don't assume every resource Skill lets you cast another Ultimate straight away.
Monarch's Mark, her Ultimate, attacks an area and Shields allies in the area around the target. The Shield lasts eighteen seconds at Level 10 and Max Level, and it's built from 60% of the damage dealt plus 25% of MAX HP. Don't multiply a guessed per-target Shield by the maximum number of enemies, and don't assume every cast stacks from the same Skill. The Shield uses Plaxi's own MAX HP, not the recipient's, and the damage portion is why her ATK still matters. A Shield prevents future damage, but it doesn't restore health you've already lost.
For each target hit, the Ultimate also extends random buffs on one random ally by eight seconds. Max Level raises the number of effects from one to two per cast. The choice is random, so it doesn't promise every ally or one particular buff gets the extension. Her fifth Combo Attack gives another, smaller random allied extension.
If you want Plaxi to give steady team support, prioritize Cinderlily Spark first, as Max Level raises ATK Up to 55% and lowers the cooldown to 24 seconds. If you want her to get your Titan out sooner, consider upgrading Flutterflash first, as Max Level raises the fixed Titan Mana to 300 and the cap on the debuff-based amount to 400.
Build And Team Support
Monarch's Mark builds its Shield from her damage dealt and her MAX HP, so invest in HP first, then ATK for the damage-linked part of the Shield. After that, build RES, up to about 300 for Bosses and more for Arena. Plaxi places no hostile debuffs, so she doesn't need Accuracy. Skill RECOV gets Cinderlily Spark back sooner.
For Relic Sets, Health Relics raise the MAX HP in her Shield and help her survive, and Attack Relics add to the damage-linked part. Paragon makes her Shields 15% bigger, and Fury Relics raise Skill RECOV for Cinderlily Spark.
She has no direct heal, cleanse or revive, so bring a healer. Her Glowburst and Flutterflash also need debuffs on the enemy, so pair her with Invokers who place them.
Arena, Bosses And Spires
In Arena, Plaxi's ATK Up and Shield work alongside a healer. A Shield prevents damage rather than restoring health, so don't treat it as full sustain.
Against Pentiax, whose fight favours Titan damage, Flutterflash's Titan Mana gives Plaxi a clear job, and her native Mindfog and Nightmare Tolerances match Pentiax's two Corruptions.
In the Fire Spire, her offensive buffs and Shields work beside a healer.
Awaken
Awakening boosts an Invoker's stats significantly. Bonuses from Relics, Accessories, the Trophy Room, Tactics and Titan leader bonuses apply to base stats and Awakening stats alike, so unlocking the Awakening nodes is critical to maximise Plaxi's potential.
Unlocking each Titan node at Star 2, 4 and 6 adds a second to Titan Invokation, taking the total from 12 seconds to 15.
