Release1.4

The Church of Favonius' least devout sister is a flexible 4-star Cryo unit. Her Burst plants an Ice Lance that applies Cryo off-field, and it shares part of her CRIT Rate with the whole team. She fits Freeze, Melt and Physical teams alike, and she still earns a spot next to carries like Skirk, Mavuika or Arlecchino in 7.1.

Guide

How to play

How she works

  • Ravaging Confession (Skill, 6s cooldown) teleports her behind the enemy for two Cryo strikes. Regina Probationum: hitting from behind grants her +12% CRIT Rate for 5s.
  • Rites of Termination (Burst, 60 Energy) slashes around her, then plants an Ice Lance that pulses Cryo DMG for 8s (12s at C2).
  • Shadow Samaritan: casting her Burst gives the rest of the party 15% of her CRIT Rate (up to +15%) for 10s.

Rotation

  1. E first so Regina Probationum raises her CRIT Rate.
  2. Q right after: the Shadow Samaritan buff uses her CRIT Rate at that moment.
  3. Swap to your carry. Use her Skill again when you swap back if you need more particles.

Her Skill and Burst hit hard and apply Cryo reliably, which makes her a great Reverse Melt trigger when enemies are affected by Pyro.

Strengths

  • Reliable off-field Cryo application from her Burst
  • Team-wide CRIT Rate buff of up to 15%
  • Fits many archetypes: Freeze, Melt, Physical
  • 4-star: constellations are easy to get (C6 shreds Physical RES)

Weaknesses

  • High Energy Recharge needs, especially as the only Cryo
  • Her Skill can't teleport behind very large enemies
  • Her buff needs a lot of CRIT Rate to reach its 15% cap

Notable dupes · Constellation

C1
Optional

ATK SPD and Normal Attack DMG after CRIT hits: only matters on-field.

C2
Big upgrade

+4s on the Ice Lance: two extra pulses and better Cryo uptime.

C4
Solid upgrade

CRIT hits from her Skill restore 5 Energy: lowers her ER needs.

C6
Solid upgrade

Her Burst shreds 20% Physical RES: very strong in Physical teams, useless elsewhere.
