Caesar's Signature and by far her best engine. It unconditionally grants 18% Impact and 30% larger Shields for the wearer, greatly enlarging her Aegis Shield and lifting her Daze. Whenever any party member triggers an Interrupt or Perfect Dodge, the whole squad also gains 18% DMG and 12% Daze for 20 seconds, elevating both her support and Daze output.

Original TransmorpherA
BudgetOriginal TransmorpherS5

The only other Daze-oriented Defense engine besides Caesar's Signature. It offers huge unconditional HP% and Combat HP%, plus a temporary Combat Impact% boost after she is hit. That boost is short-lived and her Aegis Shield scales only with base Impact, not Combat Impact, so an S or A-Rank Stun engine wins unless you specifically need the HP.

Spring EmbraceA
BudgetSpring EmbraceS5

An Energy-focused engine with a side of ATK%. After taking damage the wearer gains 16% Energy Regen for 12 seconds at max rank, and the buff transfers to whoever you switch to. Caesar's Defensive Assist-heavy playstyle triggers it constantly, so it is easy to pass to an ally of choice. Pick it only if you want the Energy Regen; otherwise Impact engines give better Shields and Daze.

Peacekeeper - SpecializedA
BudgetPeacekeeper - SpecializedS5

An Anomaly-flavoured damage option whose niche is boosting Caesar's Anomaly buildup, useful in Anomaly teams aiming for Disorder. The cost is lost Daze and Shield potency, a trade-off that rarely pays off.

Strengths

  • +Only Defense-type Stun agent — provides both shields and Daze generation
  • +Signature grants 18% DMG + 12% Daze to the whole squad on interrupt/dodge
  • +Extremely versatile — fits into virtually any composition as a defensive anchor

Weaknesses

  • Signature W-engine is near-mandatory to unlock her team buffing potential
  • HP-scaling shields require significant HP investment to match top healers in survivability

When Caesar becomes the active character in combat, she instantly buffs all squad members with a Radiant Aegis shield (once every 300s). While Radiant Aegis is active, enemies within a 5m radius of the shield bearer suffer a 15% All-Attribute RES reduction.
