Herrscher of Finality
Kiana Kaslana
Herrscher of Finality is Kiana's S-rank IMG-type Fire DPS, the culmination of Part 1: she swaps between Time Flint and Moon Blade stances and unleashes Absolute Time Fracture, and reaches her full potential in the Herrscher Trio with Herrscher of Origin and Herrscher of Truth. Her v7.8 Divine Key Waxing Moon gives her Rite of Oblivion, which makes her one of the better supports for Lone Planetfarer and Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon and a fast Domain Resonance trigger for World Star teams.

Stat targets
- Stigmata affixes: full ATK (Marisa Impact)
- Waxing Moon before anything else: without it she has no Astral Ring
- S0 is enough for most players
Talent priority
Where to get her: Battle Pass and ADV Supply; Waxing Moon from the Equipment Supply; King of Conquerors from the Equipment Supply or the Foundry (Marisa Impact, official v7.8 notes).
Recommended teams
Rite of Oblivion support (Lone Planetfarer)
Vita needs three Rite of Oblivion members, and Herrscher of Finality with Waxing Moon is one of the few; Valkyrie Blastmetal is the free alternative. She is also a strong support for Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon as the DPS.
Herrscher Trio
Her full potential as a DPS: Joint Bursting resets her switch CD and restores 31 Intensity, and her Weapon Skill adds Joint ATKs from Mei and Bronya. The Trio was a top Abyss pick in the v8.4 and v8.6 CN statistics.
World Star support
Her Quantum Mech Energy attacks count as Resonance, so she triggers Domain Resonance marks very fast and gives the team Elemental DMG under World Star; she can take Ba-Dum!'s slot in this team.
How to play
Core loop
- Basic ATK (ground and aerial), Upward and Dive ATKs and her QTE build Descent (8 max). At full Descent, hold ATK for her Combo ATK, which switches between Time Flint and Moon Blade stances; each Combo ATK also gives a stack of Time Wave (2 max).
- With 2 Time Wave stacks, hold Evasion for Absolute Time Fracture: up to 30s of invincibility with every timer paused, during which attacks spend Descent and the Combo ATK becomes the Finale stance.
- With Waxing Moon, her Weapon Skill gives 3 Descent, changes with her stance, and is reset whenever her Combo ATK switches stance: rotations get much faster.
Astral Ring (Rite of Oblivion)
- During Astral Ring Charging, her Combo ATK consumes her Stellar Drain for 20 Intensity; in the Trio, Joint Bursting from Herrscher of Origin or Herrscher of Truth restores 31 more.
- In Stellar Outburst, her first Combo ATK grants 5 Descent, and holding Ultimate casts "Go Kiana!" (125 SP, Time-frozen Domain) instead of her normal Ultimate.
- Under World Star, her Descent is replaced by 6 Quantum Mech Energy during Stellar Outburst: tapping ATK or Weapon spends them as Resonance attacks, which is why she triggers Domain Resonance marks so fast.
As a support
- Swap in, cast her Weapon Skill (it activates the King of Conquerors buff and, on hit, +10% team Total DMG for 25s; Stellar Outburst refreshes both), consume Stellar Drain with a Combo ATK, swap out.
Marisa Impact's Combo ATK loop: activate Stellar Outburst, hold Evasion for Absolute Time Fracture, Basic ATK until the meter runs out (the Combo ATK fires on its own), then Weapon → Combo ATK and repeat until the next Outburst.
Strengths
- One of the better supports for Lone Planetfarer and Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon, and a top-tier Domain Resonance trigger for World Star (Marisa Impact).
- Still a DPS in the Herrscher Trio, which keeps taking Abyss top scores.
- Big team buffs: Elemental and Physical DMG, DMG taken debuffs and Total DMG from her Divine Key and King of Conquerors.
- Her King of Conquerors set is craftable, and Waxing Moon synergy copies give account-wide ATK.
Weaknesses
- Everything Astral Ring depends on Waxing Moon; her old gear is not worth getting anymore.
- Outside Rite of Oblivion and World Star, she is a last-resort filler, no better than Valkyrie Blastmetal.
- Valkyrie Blastmetal gives Lone Planetfarer a slightly stronger Stellar Outburst buff for free.
- Slow to get for F2P players (almost a year of Battle Pass Crystallum), and her gear still comes from the Equipment Supply.
