Melee Synergy: Operators like Surtr or Nearl the Radiant Knight can capitalize on Texas (Alter)'s freeze zones to finish off trapped enemies. Defenders with healing talents, such as Saria, can stabilize lanes while Texas (Alter) slows down incoming waves, allowing them to absorb damage more efficiently.

Deployment Timing: Due to her deployment skill burst, Texas the Omertosa excels when deployed at the start of a wave to swiftly control and weaken enemy groups or during critical moments when chaos ensues. Maps featuring Reed-type spawns or explosive ranged enemies particularly benefit from her ability to neutralize multiple threats simultaneously.

Skill Cycle Optimization: To maximize her effectiveness, pair Texas (Alter) with SP generators or units that reduce skill cooldowns. This ensures she can re-enter combat quickly and repeatedly unleash her freeze bursts.

Should You Pull for Texas (Alter)?
If you prioritize high-impact burst AoE and crowd control, Texas (Alter) is an excellent addition to your team. While she doesn’t replace core Vanguards or casters in sustained scenarios, she shines in burst-clear compositions and synergy-heavy freeze teams. Her flexible deployment and skill activation timing make her adaptable across various lineups where control and damage are crucial.
