Dushevnaya isn’t the most overwhelming character due to her very specialized nature and abilities. She will be someone you may want to use for boss fights to pump extra damage to the boss and buff your best ice-based damage dealers. They’ll excel with her in the party, but she won’t be able to do much herself, unfortunately. What she lacks in overall ability, she does make up for in being useful and interesting with her followup attacks on enemies as they take damage from the rest of her squad.

Best Weapons for Dushevnaya
For Dushevnaya, you will want to prioritize rifles that will enhance her abilities and her passive.

Increases damage by10%to targets on Freeze tiles.
Dushevnaya’s banner weapon isn’t the end-all-be-all weapon for her, there are a few options available, and the battle pass weapon or even some of the more standard options will work just fine with her due to how her kit works. When seeking attachments for her rifles, you will want to prioritize stats for them that will increase her Attack Percentage, Attack, and Critical Rate. These will pad out her damage and make her more viable in content that isn’t just related to bosses.
Best Squads for Dushevnaya
To bring out the best of her kit, you’ll need to bring characters that can deal Freeze damage to enemies.
Due to the limited nature of Dushevnaya’s buffs, you’ll need to prioritize bringing teams that deal ice damage to the enemies. One of the best pairings will be another sniper character,Makiatto, who can deal some ice damage with her kit and is a fairly strong character on her own.Suomiis another ice damage dealer who will excel with Dushevnaya due to almost all of her abilities being related to the element.
The third and final character to put in the squad with her could be anyone you feel would work well with Dushevnaya.Lottais a decent enough choice as she is a shotgun character with ice-based damage as well. But a healer likeColphneor a frontline character likeUllridare also solid choices. These three options will allow you to still do some solid damage while taking down bosses or just clearing content in general.

Dushevnaya isn’t the most groundbreaking and mind-blowing addition to the cast of Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium. But she still has a niche spot to make use of if you’re looking to switch things up and try out a more specialized type of squad. There are some extra things to keep in mind, like making sure you level herNeural Helix.This will ensure that you increase her stats once you have an idea of where she’ll fit in once she’s on your roster.
