Galbrena: Resonator Overview
Galbrena is a DPS with a pistol in her hand. She’s from the fusion element with 5-star rarity. The character is only obtainable from a limited convene, but she’s made a fuss already with her powerful aura presence.

She utilizes Echo Skill DMG and Heavy Attack DMG, but a few weapon options have made her a bit weak as well. This guide will give you a complete brief of her character overview, skills, echoes, weapons, and also why you should pull and pre-farm.

Why should you pull for Galbrena in WuWa
You should try her in the trial before you select your new main DPS. Because she doesn’t allow many F2P characters as her partner options and is limited, the build is not going to be easy. Besides, her weapon variety is limited, so it is another downside.
However, her strong crit rate and buffs in casting powerful damage as a main DPS will surely make you consider her for the role. If you’re a hack-and-slash lover and planning to decimate your enemies, yes, then you should go for her.
