▍Norma Overview

▍Norma Skill Upgrade Priority

Prioritize Norma's Core Skill and Special Attack, which are central to her buffs and Daze generation.

▍Norma Best W-Engines

Norma's signature W-Engine, Chief Sidekick, is her best option, improving her CRIT Rate, Impact, personal damage, and team support. If you don't have her signature, several alternatives can still help her generate Daze and support her teammates.

Chief Sidekick

Norma's signature W-Engine increases Impact by 30 and ignores 15% of the target's Fire RES. While Norma is off-field, her Energy Regen increases by 0.4/s. Dealing Fire DMG with her EX Special Attack also increases all squad members' DMG by 12.5% for 30s, stacking up to 2 times.

Hellfire Gears

Hellfire Gears increases off-field Energy Regen by 0.6/s. Using an EX Special Attack increases Impact by 10% for 10s, stacking up to 2 times, with each stack having its own duration.

Blazing Laurel

Blazing Laurel increases Impact by 25% for 8s after Norma uses a Quick Assist or Perfect Assist. Hitting an enemy with a Basic Attack applies Wilt for 30s, stacking up to 20 times. Each stack increases Fire and Ice attacks' CRIT DMG against that target by 1.5%.

Steam Oven

Steam Oven increases Impact by 2% for every 10 Energy accumulated, up to 8 stacks. After Norma consumes Energy, the bonus lasts for another 8s, with each stack's duration calculated independently.

Recommendation: Chief Sidekick is the recommended first choice because it improves Norma's own performance while also increasing the team's damage. Hellfire Gears is a useful alternative outside teams that can fully benefit from Blazing Laurel.

▍Norma Best Drive Discs

4-Pc King of the Summit + 2-Pc Swing Jazz Electro

4-Pc Astral Voice + 2-Pc Woodpecker Electro

▍Main Stats

• Slot 4: CRIT Rate%
• Slot 5: Fire DMG% > PEN Ratio% > ATK%
• Slot 6: Impact% or Energy Regen

Substats: CRIT Rate% (until 100% in combat) > CRIT DMG% = ATK% > Flat PEN > Flat ATK.

▍Best Norma Team Compositions

Norma fits into many Attack and Rupture teams because her buffs, Stun duration extension, and additional Chain Attack opportunities benefit damage dealers that can capitalize on Stun windows.

Team 1: Norma + Pyrois + Sunna

Team 2: Norma + Soldier 11 + Sunna

Team 3: Norma + Yixuan + Lucia

These are suggested team options rather than the only viable combinations. Choose teammates based on your available Agents and the damage dealer you want to build around.
