Ode and Oblation
The Favonius Cathedral's cheerful deacon is a Hydro shield support. His Burst gives the whole party Favonian Favor: a Shield of Sacred Favor that comes back when it breaks, plus up to 20% ATK SPD for the active character based on his Max HP. He is a comfort pick for Normal Attack carries and Freeze teams rather than a damage booster.

Main stats
Substat priority
Stat targets
- Energy Recharge 240–270% at C0 as the only Hydro unit; 170–230% with another Hydro character (roughly 40% less at C1)
- HP 40,000 to cap the 20% ATK SPD buff
- CRIT Rate only with Favonius Sword
Talent priority
Talent levels matter little: his Burst level only raises shield absorption. Level him to 90 for HP first.
Recommended teams
Skirk Freeze
Frozen reactions give him extra Benison stacks, and his shield and ATK SPD make Skirk's Normal Attack combos safer and faster.
Yoimiya Vaporize
Yoimiya's Normal Attacks refill Benison fast and benefit fully from the ATK SPD buff.
How to play
How he works
- Radiant Psalter (Burst) deals AoE Hydro DMG, grants the party Favonian Favor and summons a Shield of Sacred Favor based on his Max HP (250% efficiency against Hydro).
- While Favonian Favor lasts, Benison stacks rebuild the shield each time it breaks. He gains 1 stack every 4 Normal Attack hits from the active character, and 2 stacks when a Favored character triggers Frozen (The Wind's Gentle Grace, once every 8s), up to 4 per Burst.
- Prayer of Well-Wrought Joy (A4): the Favored active character gains 0.5% ATK SPD per 1,000 of his Max HP, capped at 20% (40,000 HP).
- Immersive Ordinance (Skill) creates a Sacramental Shower that explodes for Hydro DMG on enemies — its main job is to generate particles for his Burst.
Rotation
- E, then Q right away so he catches his own particles.
- Swap to your carry and attack: their Normal Attacks refill Benison stacks.
His Burst is expensive: at C0 he wants a lot of Energy Recharge when he is the only Hydro unit.
Strengths
- A shield that rebuilds itself several times per Burst

- Little personal damage and weak Hydro application
- Outclassed by stronger supports in most meta teams
