Scarlett
Scarlett is one of the three Season 1 orange S-rarity heroes carrying Last Z: Survival Shooter's faction system into Season 5 — and unlike most of the roster, she's a hero whose value only grows the longer your account runs. If you're building a Wings of Dawn formation and wondering where to put your fragments and Red Star materials this season, this guide covers her skills, best build, and where she fits into your squad.
Who Is Scarlett?
Scarlett represents the Wings of Dawn faction as an attack-type hero specializing in ranged energy damage. Her signature skill, EM Pulse, fires a concentrated energy blast that scales into a devastating source of sustained damage once fully upgraded — making her the backbone of any ranged-focused Wings of Dawn lineup.
Scarlett's Skills Breakdown
EM Pulse (Signature Skill)
Charges her weapon and releases a powerful energy pulse dealing heavy single-target damage. Star upgrades add extra damage factor, and at higher star levels the pulse splits to hit multiple targets — trading some per-hit damage for wider coverage against grouped enemies.
Passive Attack Boost
Increases her normal attack damage factor with each star upgrade, keeping her relevant between EM Pulse cooldowns rather than leaving her with dead turns.
Wings of Dawn Training Buff
Like the other two Season 1 faction cornerstones, Scarlett's third skill grants a major training speed bonus for Wings of Dawn troop types, with reduced training resource costs at higher star levels — the long-term account value that makes her worth Red Star investment.
Squad-Wide Stat Buff (5-Star+)
Once fully starred, Scarlett extends attack and defense bonuses to all troop types, not just Wings of Dawn — this is the payoff skill that Season 5's Red Star system builds further on.
Best Build & Upgrade Priority
| Priority | Focus | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Star her up before maxing individual skills | Star levels unlock the training buff scaling and squad-wide stat bonus faster than skill books alone. |
| 2 | EM Pulse skill level | Directly scales her main damage source — prioritize over her passive attack boost early on. |
| 3 | Ranged-focused equipment | Gear that boosts attack and skill damage factor benefits her more than pure HP-focused sets. |
| 4 | Season 5 Red Star | If Wings of Dawn is your main faction, Scarlett is the natural first Red Star target this season. |
Team Synergy: Who to Pair Her With
Scarlett performs best alongside Laura, forming a ranged Wings of Dawn core that covers both burst and sustained damage. Add a support hero for crowd control or healing behind them, and you have a formation that holds up in PvE shooter stages just as well as open-field PvP.
Is Scarlett Worth Investing In?
Yes — she's a foundational Wings of Dawn hero whose training buffs and squad-wide bonuses compound across every season, not just Season 5. If you're committed to Wings of Dawn as your main faction, she should sit near the top of your upgrade priority alongside your other core S-tier heroes.
