Release2.6

Luna Kindred is Theresa's A-rank BIO-type Physical cross user from v2.6, the first "Captainverse" battlesuit. She spends Sanguine Mark on heavy axe Charged ATKs that make enemies bleed, heals by hitting bleeding targets, and drops a giant axe from the sky with her cheap Ultimate. Marisa Impact remembers her as a decent DPS in her time; today she has no Astral Ring and is obsolete in 9.0 endgame content. She is still worth unlocking for the Elysian Realm (since v5.1), where her first clear gives crystals and her low-HP playstyle is fun.

Stat targets

  • Stigmata affixes: ATK on every piece
  • Reach S rank first: it unlocks Kindred's Pact, Soul Drinker, her QTE and her leader skill upgrade
  • Keep enemies bleeding: most of her damage and healing depends on it

Leader

Where to get her: Open World, Expedition, Dorm Supply, Dorm Shop and Elysian Shop; Hekate's Sombre is a Foundry PRI-ARM (Marisa Impact lists the Exchange Shop and Battle Pass for it). In the Elysian Realm, Blessing of Penumbra comes first, then Blood Feast or Imprint (HoYoLAB guides).

Teams

Recommended teams

Part 1 Physical core (legacy)

Luna Kindred
Herrscher of Sentience
Starlit Astrologos

Herrscher of Sentience impairs enemies and shields the team, Starlit Astrologos buffs Physical DMG and Crit Rate from the background. With Luna Kindred leading, both BIO teammates also get +24% Physical DMG. No Astral Ring: older content only.

Budget A-rank supports

Luna Kindred
Danzai Spectramancer
Starlit Astrologos

Her axe swings are Charged ATKs, so they call Danzai Spectramancer's extra specters (augment core 4★); Starlit Astrologos stays in the background.

Guide

How to play

Sanguine Mark and the axe

  • Sanguine Mark maxes at 200 and regenerates 5 per second. Hold [ATK] after any Basic ATK sequence to swing the giant axe, then tap [ATK] for the second swing.
  • With 50+ Sanguine Mark, each swing spends 50 for 150% + 250% ATK of Physical DMG and 5 Bleed Trauma; without it the swings are weaker.
  • Every Charged ATK gives +10% Total DMG until she switches out (10 stacks).

Bleed and sustain

  • From S rank, she deals 60% more Physical DMG to bleeding enemies and takes 25% less damage from them, and each Basic ATK hit on a bleeding enemy heals 27 HP and restores 20 Sanguine Mark (also on non-bleeding enemies below 50 Mark).
  • Casting her cross (weapon active) gives +50% Attack Speed for 6s (S rank).

Ultimate: Feast for the Dead

  • Only 75 SP: a giant axe falls for 2 × 300% + 600% ATK of Physical DMG. For 8s after, she gains 100 + 12 Sanguine Mark per second and her Charged ATKs gain a 40% Total DMG Multiplier. At SS it also triggers a 5s Time Fracture.
  • She starts battles with 30 extra SP, so she can often open with her Ultimate.

Evasion and QTE

  • Ultimate Evasion triggers a Time Fracture (3s, 4.5s with Night of Fright; CD: 11s with Mist Form).
  • QTE (S rank): triggered on a paralyzed enemy. Switch skill: a 320% ATK slam.

Rotation: Ultimate → cross (weapon active) → hold [ATK] for axe swings during Blood Frenzy → Basic ATK on bleeding enemies to refill Sanguine Mark → repeat. In the Elysian Realm her Charged ATK becomes a faster downward swing (new animation) with Iron Body; Blessing of Penumbra (low-HP barrier) is the core Ego signet, then Blood Feast or Imprint, with Kalpas signets.

Strengths

  • Simple and satisfying: cheap 75 SP Ultimate, big axe hits and 30 extra starting SP.
  • Strong self-sustain against bleeding enemies (healing, damage reduction, Time Fracture).
  • Leader skill (S rank): -40% debuff duration for the team and +24% Physical DMG for BIO battlesuits.
  • Easy to get (Open World, Expedition, Dorm Supply, Elysian Shop) and in the Elysian Realm for first-clear crystals (Marisa Impact).

Weaknesses

  • Obsolete in 9.0 endgame: an A-rank with no Astral Ring and no place in current Memorial Arena or Superstring Abyss teams.
  • Low damage outside the Elysian Realm; most of her kit needs S rank.
  • Her Charged ATKs can be interrupted and she can be knocked down while deploying her cross.
  • Superseded by Theresa's later Physical battlesuits (Twilight Paladin, Starlit Astrologos) and by modern bleed teams.
