Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium | Loreley PV
Loreley (DSR-50) Overview
Loreley (DSR-50) is an Elite Support Doll who relies on a mobile kit to reshape grid positioning. While her basic physical attacks are straightforward, her real value comes from generating burning tactical zones and warping her team across the field.
Her unique ability to grant damage immunity to teammates while flooding the map with her Ranger Mk.II automated combat summons establishes her as a premier utility unit for status-heavy echelons.
- Seiyuu: Yuka Saito
- The Role: Burn Support / Positioning Specialist
- Stat Priorities: Attack Boost, Attack, Crit Rate, Crit Damage
- Recommended Attachments: Burn Boost or Phase Strike (Utility)
Loreley’s Skills & Keys
Loreley features a kit designed to constantly shift positions while keeping the enemy locked down. Her passive, Queen’s Largesse, grants her Thermal Conduction at the start of battle, upgrading standard Embers into Glowing Embers to boost team-wide Burn damage, lower damage taken, and scale critical stats.
Her primary gameplay centers on utilizing her Ultimate, Dolorous Grace, to deploy or reposition her Ranger Mk.II summon, which triggers Whippoorwill Pulse at the end of her turn to clear ally debuffs, restore stability, and increase the burn damage enemies receive.
Understanding Loreley‘s Keys
- Hidden Passion (Core Key): Consistency tool. At the start of the battle, gain 1 point of Confectance Index and 10 stacks of Searing Flame.
- Enchanting Dreams (Core Key): Damage amplification. When Ranger Mk.II is on the field, Burn damage dealt by all allied units is increased by 7%.
- Frightening Gift (Core Key): Dispel utility. Before making an active attack, cleanse 1 buff from the target. Essential for dismantling enemy defenses.
- Satisfied Sigh (Common Key): Offensive amplification. When this unit has a Burn buff, critical rate is increased by 10%.
Loreley Banner Notes
Loreley’s banner debuts alongside Sharkry and Nagant, running from June 25 to July 15. While she is fully functional at V0, her duplicates unlock thresholds that enhance her overall utility and sub-DPS potential.
Loreley Vertebrae Breakpoints & Banner Value
- V0: Primarily a burn support. However, due to her poor Searing Flame generation at V0, she will want at least either Lewis or Sakura V0 on her team to help out. Without them, she’s generally not offering a whole lot, as the Searing Flames will take many turns to actually activate.
- R1: Provides the same buff value as Mechty’s signature weapon. Her signature weapon scales heavily with this milestone.
- V2: Increases the number of times Flawless Blaze can be applied by 5. Extra Command is replaced with Extra Action. Glowing Embers no longer increases Burn damage. Instead, it increases damage dealt by 45%.
Verdict: V0 is a completely comfortable stopping point for general utility. For most players, prioritizing V0 to R1 is the cleanest path forward before deciding on further duplicates.
Priority: V0 > R1 > V2R1
Loreley Team Recommendations
While she can act as a general positional enabler, Loreley shines when she has allies who can exploit the continuous elemental tile coverage generated by her rotations.
Searing Conflagration Echelon
- Main DPS: Qiuhua
- Sub-DPS: Lewis
- Enabler: Sakura
- Support: Vector
- Strategy: Qiuhua and Lewis act as your primary vectors of offensive damage, capitalizing heavily on the Incineration tiles and field debuffs Loreley leaves behind. Sakura serves as a crucial engine to accelerate Searing Flame generation, overcoming Loreley’s baseline V0 limitations, while Vector keeps the field covered in overlapping elemental fields for rapid map clears.
Nighttide Nocturne | Loreley’s Signature Weapon
- Effect: Burn damage dealt by all ally units is increased by 5%. If the user has Embers or Glowing Embers, Burn damage dealt is increased by 20%/25%/30%/35%/40%/45%. When allied units gain Burn buff, they gain Attack Up II for 2 turns.
- Trait: At the end of the turn, if Confectance index is not at maximum, gain 1 random buff, lasting for 1 turn.
- Imprint: Damage dealt to targets with Burn type debuffs is increased by 2.5%. Damage dealt to ELIDs is increased by 2.5%.
The Verdict: This weapon is her best-in-slot and is highly recommended to acquire after hitting V0 rather than pushing for V1+. If you skip the banner, Samosek, Bittersweet Caramel, or any other SR weapon are usable alternatives.
Harpsy (Steyr TMP) Overview
Harpsy operates as an Elite Vanguard Doll who specializes in widespread corrosion debuffs and tactical layout support. Utilizing light ammunition, her kit converts direct teammate attacks into a chain of tracking programs across the battlefield.
Her ability to completely ignore standard crowd control effects and automatically retaliate against enemy offensive actions makes her an essential mechanical anchor for corrosion-focused echelons.
- Seiyuu: Maria Naganawa
- The Role: Corrosive Support / Vanguard Debuffer
- Stat Priorities: Attack Boost, Attack, Crit Rate, Crit Damage
- Recommended Attachments: Corrosion Boost or Phase Strike (Utility)
Harpsy’s Skills & Keys
Harpsy focuses on establishing field loops using Expansive Amplification, which applies Priority Progress to an ally. When that ally attacks, they apply Antivirus Program stacks to a random enemy, extending the buff duration across the entire squad and rewarding Harpsy with Extra Command actions. Her ultimate, Keyboard Warrior, deals heavy AoE Corrosion damage that scales directly based on how many allies maintain her progress tracking status.
Understanding Harpsy’s Keys
- Multiple Backups (Core Key): After the end of this unit’s action, allied units with Priority Progress gain Movement Up II for 1 turn.
- Power of Friendship (Core Key): For each allied unit on the battlefield with Priority Progress, the damage multiplier for each stack of Antivirus Program when triggering is increased by 2%.
- Gathered Courage (Core Key): After using the active skill Expansive Amplification on an allied Doll with Priority Progress, Harpsy’s critical rate is increased by 20% for 1 round.
- Reliable Technology (Common Key): Offensive amplification. Increases Crit Rate by 5%. After applying a debuff, damage dealt is increased by 10% for 1 round.
Harpsy Team Recommendations
The Toxic Overload Echelon
- Main DPS: Klukai
- Breaker: Lind
- Enabler: Phaetusa
- Support: Basti
- Strategy: Klukai acts as your primary damage driver, scaling her output from the wide Priority Progress tracking Harpsy sets up. Lind acts as the frontline breaker, using Harpsy’s Pain Dependence interaction to wipe out kit self-roots, while Phaetusa and Basti flood the floor with overlapping corrosive hazards to hit peak Antivirus Program damage.
Antinomy | Harpsy’s Signature Weapon
- Effect: Corrosion damage increased by 25%/28%/31%/34%/37%/40%. After using an active skill on an allied target, critical damage dealt increased by 5%/7%/9%/11%/13%/15% for 1 round.
- Trait: AoE damage dealt increased by 5%. If dealing AoE Corrosion damage, damage dealt is additionally increased by 5%.
- Imprint: Damage dealt to Mokosh units is increased by 2.5%. If the target has Corrosion debuffs, increase damage by an additional 2.5%.
The Verdict: This weapon is her best-in-slot. If you skip the banner, Classified Manuscript, and most SMGs are all usable alternatives.

Closing Thoughts | Loreley Breakdown
Loreley is a highly dynamic Support unit who rewards commanders willing to orchestrate precise field teleports and manage summon zoning. As a premier enabler for high-tier elemental squads, she brings a uniquely disruptive style to tactical combat. While her signature rifle is a stellar performance asset, strict resource management should dictate your recruitment strategy.
The next set of banners after Loreley and Lewis’ rerun will be M200 (Cheyanne) and Liushih (General Liu), so keep that in mind for how much you want to put into this patch’s banner. Good luck with your pulls commanders!
