Release2.7

Herrscher of the Void is Kiana's S-rank BIO-type Physical pistol user from v2.7. She summons Space Cores to fill her Herrscher Charge, snaps her fingers to trap enemies in a Time Prison and enter Herrscher Form, then tears space apart with a Time-Locking Ultimate. In her day she was "the Queen", able to clear almost anything, and her PRI-ARM Domain of the Void briefly brought her back to the meta. With no Astral Ring she is obsolete in 9.0 endgame content, but she remains a fun Physical DPS for Part 1 content and the Elysian Realm (added in v6.0).

Teams

Recommended teams

Part 1 Physical core (legacy)

Herrscher of the Void
Herrscher of Sentience
Starlit Astrologos

Herrscher of Sentience impairs every enemy and shields the team, and Starlit Astrologos adds Physical DMG and Crit Rate from the background. Lead with Herrscher of the Void for the team-wide Crit buff. No Astral Ring: older content only.

Budget A-rank supports

Herrscher of the Void
Danzai Spectramancer
Starlit Astrologos

Her Time Tremor is a Charged ATK, so it triggers Danzai Spectramancer's specters and Sword Scar (augment core 4★), while Starlit Astrologos never leaves the background.

Guide

How to play

Herrscher Charge

  • Basic ATK SEQ 3 and SEQ 5 summon Space Cores that explode and restore 60 Herrscher Charge each (max 480). Her Ultimate Evasion (Phase Shuttle) also summons one and triggers a local Time Slow; with Void Lock, simply evading through enemies triggers it.
  • With at least 240 Charge, hold [ATK] during the Basic ATK sequence for Time Tremor: a Time Prison and 600% ATK of Physical DMG (+400% at full Charge) that opens Herrscher Form.

Herrscher Form

  • Drains 24 Charge every 0.5s (about 10s from a full gauge). Her Basic ATK becomes a fast 3-sequence string whose last hit pulls enemies in and summons an empowered Space Core (+350% ATK and +30% Total DMG in form, more against MECH enemies).
  • Space Cores keep refilling the gauge, so good grouping extends the form.

Ultimate: Void Unleashed

  • 125 SP (CD: 25s): 9–12 hits of 300% ATK of Physical DMG with a 3s Time Lock around her; +30% Crit Rate against enemies above 50% HP, +50% Total DMG below.
  • From SS, casting it grants 360 Herrscher Charge, so it can open a new Herrscher Form.
  • QTE: triggered on shield break or Time Slow.

With Keys / Domain of the Void

  • The weapon active creates an extra Space Core and restores 60 Charge; with Domain of the Void an Implosion Core also appears when she enters Herrscher Form.

Rotation: Basic ATK strings (+ weapon active) to fill the gauge → full-Charge Time Tremor → Herrscher Form Basic ATKs → Ultimate to Time-Lock the group and (SS) refill Charge → repeat. In the Elysian Realm she starts with +240 Charge, takes 30% less damage in form, and her Ultimate no longer drains Charge and ends with a guaranteed-crit 2,000% ATK explosion.

Strengths

  • Strong AoE with built-in grouping, Time Prison, Time Lock and Time Slow: very comfortable to play.
  • Great leader skill for crit teams: +40% Crit DMG and +15% Crit Rate for the whole team (S2).
  • Good survivability: less indirect damage per Space Core and passes through enemies with her evasion.
  • In the Elysian Realm (since v6.0) and easy to unlock (War Treasury, Dorm Supply); Marisa Impact recommends her for first-clear crystals.

Weaknesses

  • Obsolete in 9.0 endgame: no Astral Ring and no place in current Memorial Arena or Superstring Abyss teams.
  • Needs SS (Void Empowerment) for a smooth Ultimate-into-Herrscher Form loop.
  • Her tools are shared by many later Physical DPS that hit far harder (Herrscher of Rebirth, Herrscher of Sentience with Brick…).
  • Marisa Impact classes her among the outdated War Treasury battlesuits: unlock whoever you like first.
