#Dana: quick profile

Dana is the youngest member of the Red Fox Mercenary Crew and a genius alchemist. Hound13's official introduction says she fights with a magitech gun, uses the power of ice and summons Chako, an ice golem she created through transmutation.

This is an official profile and patch-context page. It does not claim a best build, exact coefficients or a verified complete Hero Quest route.

#Weapon, ice combat and Chako

The official hero introduction describes Dana's magitech gun as the result of arcane engineering she designed herself. Her signature style brings Chako into battle.

The supported distinction is:

• Dana is the playable hero using the gun and ice-based actions;
• Chako is the ice golem she transmuted and summons;
• update notes can change the behavior of their named interactions.

The official profile does not provide a complete skill tree, cooldown table or Signal Skill mapping.

#Story background

Dana previously researched Spirit Alchemy in Silvarantia. The announcement says an unforeseen accident caused her to lose the colors of the world, while changing how she perceives what is precious around her.

Her unpredictable perspective earned her the nickname “little bomb” from those around her. Those are official story details, not a combat tier judgment.

#Update 1.0.4 changes for Dana

The official 1.0.4 notes list three Dana-related corrections:

1. Summon Chako's rage should no longer be consumed when Dana uses Chako Spin;
2. a tooltip error on Dana's jump-attack skill Freezy Pop was fixed;
3. certain NPCs that were missing during Dana's Hero Quest should now display correctly.

These changes make older screenshots or rotation explanations patch-sensitive. Read the live skill tooltip and retest the interaction on the current build.

#What the patch does not prove

Update 1.0.4 does not establish:

• Dana's optimal Gear or Karma;
• damage coefficients for Chako Spin or Freezy Pop;
• the exact rage cost of every action;
• the full Hero Quest sequence;
• a universal team composition.

The broader Update 1.0.4 guide owns the complete patch context, while the quest fix guide owns the list of progression defects.

#Practical role boundary

The official profile supports describing Dana as a ranged ice-oriented hero with summon support. It does not directly label a formal database role, primary Status Ailment or Signal trigger.

When building a team:

1. inspect Dana's live Active and Signal Skill text;
2. identify which condition her real current-build actions apply or consume;
3. use the Team Builder only for relationships the database marks as verified;
4. avoid converting creator rankings into official balance claims.

For general party construction, use the Teams Hub and Team Rotation Guide.

#Dana Hero Quest evidence

The 1.0.4 patch confirms that a Dana Hero Quest exists because it names a display issue occurring during that quest. It does not state:

• where the quest starts;
• whether it recruits Dana;
• every NPC or objective;
• the rewards or completion time.

A patch-note mention proves existence and a fixed defect, not a complete walkthrough.

#Common misinformation to avoid

• Inventing a formal status profile from ice visuals alone. The official profile describes ice power but does not map every action to a named Status Ailment.
• Using pre-1.0.4 rotation advice unchanged. Chako's rage interaction was fixed.
• Calling the Hero Quest the recruitment route. The source does not establish that conclusion.
• Treating “little bomb” as a class name. It is a story nickname.
• Publishing exact values without live UI evidence. The official profile contains no coefficient table.
