Blood Rose build — Best weapons, sets & teams | Honkai Impact 3rd

Fire burst DPS (old content)

Weapons

Surtr Muspellsverd BiS

S

Her PRI-ARM, picked by both HoYoverse's guide and the BBS: the active ignites a large area for 12s (triggering Burning Blood) and grants a barrier during which Blood Wrath costs no HP. Forged in the Foundry.

PRI-ARM of Godslayer: Surtr: the active spends 50% of current HP to spread Ignite Trauma over a large area for 12s and grant a barrier (80% of max HP, 5,000 max); meanwhile Blood Rose's Ultimate costs no HP, and Vermilion Knight: Eclipse's Ultimate restores 8 SP while her Charged ATK and Ultimate deal +30% Fire DMG. Ultimate and burst-mode hits stack +12% Fire DMG (4 stacks); +30% Total DMG, +20% SP recovery and +20% ATK Speed.

Godslayer: Surtr

A

Base form of her PRI-ARM (BBS): stacking Total DMG on Ultimate hits, SP recovery and ATK Speed.

Base form of Surtr Muspellsverd: Ultimate/burst hits stack up to +20% Total DMG, plus +15% SP recovery, +15% ATK Speed and +25% Total DMG.

Labor of Olympus

A

HoYoverse's transitional pick: extra Fire DMG on every hit during burst mode.

After the Ultimate and during burst mode, each hit adds 60% ATK of Fire DMG (once per second per target); Ultimate and burst attacks deal 35% more Total DMG.

King Cobra

B

HoYoverse's beginner pick: a cheap Foundry greatsword with up to +20 starting SP (at 4★).

Basic greatsword craftable in the Foundry: +20 initial SP when entering battle (12 at 3★).

Guide

How to play

Core kit

Basic ATK (Charge: Blooded Claymore): a 3-hit Zweihänder combo; hold [ATK] for Charged ATKs ending in an aerial Windmill Cleave with better Ignore Interrupt. Burning Passion adds 100% ATK of Fire DMG to every Charged hit.
Special ATK (Blood Pirouette): tap [ATK] while evading for a spinning Riposte (restores 5 SP, CD: 5s, 75% chance to ignite), then tap [ATK] when the circle flashes to go straight into a Charged ATK. Tap [ATK] while sprinting for a large sweeping Sprint ATK.
Ultimate (Blood Wrath): 30 SP to enter a burst mode that drains a growing share of HP per second. [ATK] directly unleashes Charged ATKs (Physical + Fire DMG); she gets 40% Total DMG Reduction, immunity to Stun, Paralyze and Freeze, a one-hit barrier, and +50% ATK Speed. Tap [ULT] again or switch out to end it.
Evasion (Blood Bravura): Ultimate Evasion chains into a Charged combo and triggers Macropyre, a Fire explosion (and fire ring) around the attacker.

Key mechanics

Burning Blood: Basic and Blood Wrath attacks on ignited enemies deal an extra 160% ATK of Fire DMG, so keep enemies ignited (Riposte, Macropyre, Surtr Muspellsverd's active).
Warding Blood: below 66% HP she gains +30% Total DMG, takes 35% less Physical DMG and resists interruption; from SS rank, Blood Curse adds +30% Crit Rate and +30% Fire DMG below 50% HP in Blood Wrath.
Her QTE (Burning Windmills) triggers on stunned enemies.
Leader skill (Blood Waltz): team Charged ATKs +12% Total DMG (+18% at SS), and teams of 3 different types gain 12% Total DMG (15% at SS).

Rotation (old content)

Weapon active (with Surtr Muspellsverd it ignites everything and gives a barrier during which Blood Wrath costs no HP).
Blood Wrath, then chain Charged ATKs and Windmill Cleaves on ignited enemies; evade into Riposte for SP.
End Blood Wrath before your HP gets too low; from SS rank, Undying Rage gives back 25% of the HP spent.

In the Elysian Realm, calling her as a Support Valkyrie takes 30% of the deployed Valkyrie's HP and gives her +60% Total DMG for 10s (CD: 40s).

Strengths

Cheap burst mode (30 SP) with big Charged ATKs, damage reduction and Stun/Paralyze/Freeze immunity.
Low-HP bonuses reward aggressive play.
Elysian Realm Support Valkyrie: +60% Total DMG for 10s on call.
Standard S-rank from the Dorm Supply; her PRI-ARM is forged in the Foundry.

Weaknesses

Obsolete in 9.0: no Astral Ring, and modern Fire DPS far outperform her.
Blood Wrath constantly drains HP, which makes her risky without the Surtr barrier.
Her extra Fire DMG needs ignited enemies.
Her PRI-ARM Surtr Muspellsverd was also designed for Vermilion Knight: Eclipse, so the two compete for it.
