The captain of the Knights of Favonius Reconnaissance Company is a Physical DPS whose Burst summons a Lightfall Sword that charges up with each of her hits, then explodes for massive Physical DMG. She still hits spectacularly hard, but her backloaded, all-in damage and the lack of new Physical support leave her a niche pick in 7.1.

Guide

How to play

How she works

  • Icetide Vortex (Skill): Tap deals Cryo DMG and gives 1 Grimheart stack (max 2), which raises her interruption resistance and DEF. Hold consumes all Grimheart to deal AoE Cryo DMG and lower enemy Physical and Cryo RES.
  • Roiling Rime (A1): holding the Skill with 2 Grimheart also creates a short Lightfall Sword that explodes at once for 50% of the Burst's base DMG.
  • Glacial Illumination (Burst) deals Cryo DMG and summons a Lightfall Sword for up to 7s. Every Normal Attack, Skill or Burst hit gives it an Energy stack (once every 0.1s); when time runs out, it explodes for Physical DMG that grows with those stacks. It explodes immediately if she leaves the field.
  • Wellspring of War-Lust (A4): using her Burst resets the Skill cooldown and grants 1 Grimheart.

Rotation

  1. Set up your supports (Electro for Superconduct, buffers, shield or healer).
  2. Tap E → Q → tap E (the A4 reset), then chain Normal Attack strings with dash cancels (for example N4 dash N4 dash N3).
  3. Hold E just before the sword explodes to shred RES and add the A1 mini-sword.

Superconduct lowers Physical RES by 40%: always bring an Electro teammate.

Strengths

  • Some of the biggest single hits in the game, with great AoE on the Lightfall Sword
  • Built-in Physical and Cryo RES shred on her Skill
  • Grimheart and the Burst sword keep her hard to interrupt without a shield

Weaknesses

  • Very backloaded: a missed or non-CRIT explosion loses a huge share of the rotation
  • Physical damage gets almost no support from recent characters, weapons or reactions
  • Long Hold Skill cooldown and high Energy needs in double-Cryo teams
  • Needs a lot of investment (C1, signature weapon, CRIT) to keep up

C6
Big upgrade

The sword starts with 5 stacks and hits can grant extra stacks: one of the strongest C6s in the game.
