Special Move - Ignition! Black Mandarin

Hugo becomes immune to status effects, ignites the Black Mandarin to deal 700% of her ATK as DMG to enemies within range 5 times and stealing 10% of the ATK and DEF from targeted enemies for 15 sec. (Stacks up to 5; Steal Limit per 1 stack - 100% of the caster’s ATK and DEF)

Enemies hit by this attack lose all buffs, receive a Stat Buff Block debuff, receive a Stat Block debuff for 12 sec, and if the target is not a boss, the target's DMG taken from the caster increases by 40%.

Active Skill - Transcendence Skill! Elusha

Hugo fires a shinsu beam that pierces enemies, dealing 1,000% of her ATK as DMG to all enemies in its path. The ATK coefficient increases by 100% for every debuff that the target has. (Max: 2,000%)

Active Skill - Let’s Fight!

Hugo becomes immune to status effects and strikes an enemy with Black Mandarin, dealing 1,800% of ATK as DMG, pushing them to the edge of the battlefield, and stealing 40% from their ATK and DEF until the end of the battle. (This buff cannot be removed with a debuff removal or buff removal skills. Steal limit - 500% of the caster’s ATK and DEF)

She dashes towards the enemy and causes shinsu to explode, dealing 600% of ATK as DMG to enemies within range. The target enemy is stunned for 3 sec and other enemies are Knocked Back.

The ATK and DEF Steal effect is only applied to one enemy, and if the target is changed, the existing effects are removed.

Passive - Luxury with Luxury

At the start of the battle, Hugo recognizes an enemy with the highest ATK as a luxury item, locks the enemy as her attack target, and becomes Immune to their Command and Provoke.

If the luxury item enemy dies, she searches for a new target.

Additionally, every time the skill is used, creates a Luxury Shield with a max durability of 6 lasting for 10 sec.

If she takes DMG from an enemy other than the luxury item enemy while the Luxury Shield is active, it is nullified. If she takes DMG from the luxury item enemy, the Luxury Shield absorbs it and its durability decreases by 1.

EE Stat

Critical DMG Increase

Level 1 Effect

The max durability of Luxury Shield created with Luxury with Luxury increases by 4.

Level 3 Effect

Level 4 Effect

The ATK coefficient based on the number of debuffs on the target of Transcendence Skill! Elusha increases by an additional 50% and the limit increases by 1,000%

Revolution 4: Ignition! Black Mandarin

Ignition! Black Mandarin always lands, and when activated, it resets the cooldown of Transcendenced Skill! Elusha.

Revolution 5: Luxury with Luxury

Each time the durability of Luxury Shield from Luxury with Luxury decreases, it removes all debuffs and recovers 5% of Hugo’s Max HP.

Notes

Rafflesia is a great set to run on Hugo after the buff, thanks to protection from Status Effects and additional utility with the Energy Regen/Decrease.
Alocasia helps dodge basic attacks to avoid some reductions in Hugo's shield durability, if your EVA is high enough, and it also provides a good 60% Physical Pierce Increase.
El is a decent option as well, with the Hit Barrier it provides and the extra Energy you will generate thanks to a higher ATK SPD.
Runda is solid too, as it provides Energy to the team and Hugo herself every time she uses the Special Move, her Hit Barrier prevents Runda's barrier from running out quickly.
Doris is acceptable, providing a good Swiftness buff for herself (and up to 2 allies) and a decent Energy Decrease effect.
Bari is normally useless on her, but can be ok if your Hugo doesn't have the passive at Lv. 5 or you are facing an enemy against which your shield cannot protect you well enough.

Only necessary at high deficits (400+) or when facing enemies with a lot of Multi-Hit attacks.
Yirang Yeon
Yirang Yeon

Yirang is the best grouper in the game, so they work really well together, but anyone with grouping will be fine.

Albelda is a great support for Hugo, but it is a bit overkill before 400 deficit.
Spear Bearer Anaak is only useful if the enemies have annoying healers, otherwise you can just use remove her.
