Deficit > 350:

S+

Cherry has insane damage, for some reason they gave an SSR unit an uncapped AoE Max HP damage.
She isn't without flaws, as she needs to apply a debuff on enemies for her Max HP damage to trigger, making her hard to play against enemies with Debuff removals.
She relies a lot on allies to group enemies up for her.
Her utility is good and could be used as a Sub DPS in a variety of teams.

Special Move - Shinsu Tornado

Cherry La falls into a deep sleep for 3 sec, then wakes up and creates a tornado targeting the enemy with the highest ATK, dealing 800% of her ATK as DMG and sending them Airborne for 3 sec.

The tornado follows the target for 10 sec, dealing 800% of Cherry La's ATK as DMG every second and reducing Red Element Resistance by 8% for 10 sec. (Max: 5 stacks)

Active Skill - Small Whirlwind

Cherry La creates a shockwave around her that deals 800% of her ATK as DMG and summons five Small Whirlwinds randomly on the battlefield for 8 sec.

When the Small Whirlwinds collide with enemies, they deal 400% of Cherry La's ATK as DMG and sends the enemies Airborne for 3 sec before disappearing.

Active Skill - Gale Force

Cherry La grants herself and the ally with the highest ATK (excluding herself) a Gale Force effect that allows them to evade enemy skills 3 times for 8 sec and increases EVA by 80% for 10 sec.

Passive - Gentle Breeze

Cherry La increases all allies' MOV SPD by 60% for 10 sec at the start of the battle. If the target is a Red Element ally, increases their Swiftness by 40 for 10 sec.

Additionally, each time she uses a Special Move during the battle, the ATK of Cherry La and the ally with the highest ATK (excluding herself) is increased by 40% for 30 sec. (Max: 5 stacks)

Alternatives

Notes

Bari is a safe pick, as it will protect her from random oneshots.
Rafflesia is also decent because it can block Status Effects that might interrupt Cherry while she is casting the Special Move.

Unit Synergies

Yirang Yeon
Yirang Yeon
Great Family
Yirang's grouping is almost mandatory for Cherry (if Cherry is your Main DPS).
Gustang
Gustang
Family Head
Cherry provides Gustang with a useful Swiftness buff early on and a decent survivability boost. Gustang also groups, which is really important for Cherry.
Anaak
Anaak
Spear Bearer
Anaak's HP Recovery Block is important for Cherry, but any AoE HP Recovery block would work here.
Beta
Beta
Escaped
Cherry can provide Beta with usefull offensive buff and act as a Sub DPS for him.
Evan
Evan
Fast Ship
Cherry's survivability is on the lower end, so you might need a support to help with that. Evan is a good option, but Alphine, Anniversary Yihwa or other decent supports would work.

This team is a bit expensive, but Gustang is the only solid grouping option we have in Red.
Beta also helps with an early grouping and he can be used at 0 dupes.
Anaak is here for the HP Recovery block and Xia Xia is easily replaceable, you could also leave the slot empty.

If your ACC is lower than the enemy EVA, a Slot 1 upgrade might be needed if you care about whether this unit hits or not.
If upgrading Slot 3 can get your EVA to be higher than the enemy ACC, upgrading Slot 3 could be worth it.
If your Deficit is higher than 300 / 350, Slot 4 Resistances are pretty much ineffective and can be left to +0.
The flat ATK, DEF and HP stats are useless.
