Analysis
Section titled “Analysis”Tier C. A fine Power trainer that’s really just a delivery vehicle for Lie in Wait, but thin stats per limit break and brutal Power-slot competition keep it a niche pickup, not a deck anchor.
Air Groove parks herself on the Power facility hard. Specialty Priority hits 65 at Lv50 and the 60% Mood Effect scales every gain while your trainee is in good spirits. She also drops +1 Stamina, and the unique (unlocks Lv30, ramps up at high bond) layers extra Power and skill points onto every Power session. Max her out and she rainbows three things at once on her tile. The starter package helps too: +20 Initial Power, +20 Initial Stamina, plus a flat Initial Friendship Gauge bump that gets you bonding faster out of the gate.
The catch is Friendship Bonus capping at 25%. That’s rough for an SSR and it’s the first thing dragging her down. Race Bonus and Fan Bonus also stay locked until MLB, so anything below 3LB feels undertuned.
The real reason to chase her is the skill list. Lie in Wait is a Late Surger endurance-recovery skill that almost nothing else teaches, and this is one of the smoother routes to slap it on a Power-heavy surger. Take the Chance, Updrafters, and Fearless fill out the hints around it.
- Pros: rare Lie in Wait hint, strong Specialty Priority and Mood, triple-stat Power rainbow at max, fat starting stats
- Cons: 25% Friendship Bonus, wants 3LB+ to feel right, Race/Fan gated to MLB, gets outclassed as a generalist
Pull her if you specifically want Lie in Wait on a surger. Otherwise save your jewels for a sharper banner.
