March 7th
Who is March 7th?
March 7th (Preservation) is a 4★ Ice shielder following the Preservation Path. She provides single-target shields scaled from her DEF, applies a Freeze follow-up counter when her shielded ally is attacked, and charges her own HP for a powerful counter-attack. A solid early-game shielder and Freeze enabler, though outclassed by 5★ Preservation units in endgame. Source: prydwen.gg.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is March 7th (Preservation) still useful in 2026?
As a Freeze enabler in niche teams yes, but she has been largely power-crept in sustain roles by 5★ units. She remains an excellent free shielder for early and mid-game.
What is the difference between March 7th Preservation and March 7th The Hunt?
Preservation March is a shielder/support; Hunt March is a completely different character — a sword-wielding Follow-Up Attack DPS released in version 2.2.
