Talents (Skill Priority)Priority: Q > E > NA
🗡️

Normal Attack: Origin

★ Priority #3 (Skip)

Standard 5-hit polearm combo. You will never use normal attacks outside of her Burst state. Level only if you have spare resources.

Elemental Skill: Transcendence — Baleful Oath (E)

★ Priority #2

Summons the Eye of Stormy Judgment for 25s. When party members hit enemies, the Eye deals coordinated Electro damage. Increases party Burst DMG by 0.3% per 1 energy cost (max ~24% for 80-cost bursts).

  • Coordinated attack triggers ~every 0.9s
  • Duration: 25s — can be 100% uptime
  • Does NOT generate particles — battery function is in her Burst

Elemental Burst: Secret Art — Musou Shinsetsu (Q)

★ Priority #1

Deals massive AoE Electro damage, then enters Musou Isshin state for 7s — fast Electro-infused sword attacks. Regenerates 2.5 energy per hit (max 25 total for party). Resolve stacks boost Burst damage.

  • 90 energy cost, 18s CD
  • Max 60 Resolve stacks from 4 Bursts used by party
  • Energy restoration: ~12.5 per teammate at ideal rotation

C6

Wishbearer

Burst hits reduce party Burst CD. Enables zero-downtime rotations.

★ Whale-Tier

💡 Recommendation: C0 is already S-tier. C2 is the best damage-per-primogem upgrade in the game.
