Scarlet is designed to be used in the Bleed team. It can be used externally to reduce the opponent’s defenses, and if played with a cosmo that weakens the attack, it becomes an excellent debuffer. However, that AoE attack can activate rival units. It also requires a team to exploit its Bleed ability, which is not so meta at the moment.
Pros
Great Debuffer
With the right Cosmo, AOE Debuff
Good survivability
Cons
Not cheap to build
Lacks Damage
Needs a proper team

Skill Descriptions
Skill 1
Restriction
Ecarlte deals 90%/100%/110%/120%/130% P.DMG to an enemy Saint and applies 1/2/2/3/3 stack of [Scarlet Needle]. If the target is affected by [Bleed], applies 1 additional stack of [Scarlet Needle].
Skill 2
Scarlet Needle - Quadrant
Ecarlate deals 220%/240%/260%/300%/350% P.DMG to all enemies Saints and applies 1 stack of [Scarlet Needle] and 1 stack of [Bleed] to each Saint. If [Hidden], applies 1 additional stack of [Scarlet Needle].
Skill 3
Scarlet Needle
At the start of each turn, Ecarlate applies 2/2/3/3/4 stacks of [Scarlet Needle] to enemy Saints. Each stack of [Scarlet Needle] reduces the enemy's P.DEF and C.DEF by 1%/1.5%/2%/2.5%/3%. When accumulated to 5 stacks, applies 1 stack of [Bleed] to that Saint. When accumulated to 10 stacks, all active skills of that Saint cost +1. When accumulated to 15 stacks, clears all stacks and deals 20%/25%/30%/35%/40% of maximum HP as true damage to that Saint (this damage cannot exceed 1000% of Ecarlate's P.ATK). [Scarlet Needle]: This effect cannot be purified, has unlimited duration, and is cleared upon death. [Bleed]: Deals 140% P.DMG before the enemy acts, duration matches [Scarlet Needle] duration.
Skill 4
Concealed Tracks
Ecarlate enters the [Hidden] state at the start of each odd turn. While [Hidden], Ecarlate gains 10%/15%/20%/25%/30% damage reduction and cannot be targeted, but he can still take damage from area attacks. Ecarlate exits [Hidden] when taking 1/1/2/2/3 instance of damage or at the start of even rounds. When exiting [Hidden], he deals 40%/50%/60%/70%/80% P.DMG to all enemy units and applies 1 stack of [Scarlet Needle].
