Mad Pleasure: Shadowbringer
Thelema Nutriscu
Mad Pleasure: Shadowbringer is Thelema's S-rank MECH-type Ice battlesuit and the first Chained Blades user, protected by Wheel of Destiny. She builds Banquet Enjoyment by mixing different attacks and cashes it in with Moment of Indulgence, breaks shields and inflicts heavy Freeze Trauma. In v9.0 she is still great in her own match-ups and a Wheel of Destiny support with rare tools (shield break, Freeze, Astral Ring regen, time stop), even if she is no longer in every top team.

Stat targets
- Stigmata affixes: ATK on every piece (Marisa Impact)
- Vary your Banquet Enjoyment sources: Basic SEQ 3, Combo ATK and Weapon Skills each raise Moment of Indulgence's multiplier
- S2 is her most impactful rank for both DPS and support
Talent priority
Against bosses with a large Freeze Trauma bar (Hephaestus, Huodou), SS rank cuts the number of charged Weapon Skills needed to freeze them from three to two (Marisa Impact).
Recommended teams
Wheel of Destiny DPS
A standard team is a Breach support (Wings of Panacea, Lone Planetfarer or Deepspace Anchor) plus another support; Miss Espionage, Fenghuang of Vicissitude or Hi♪ Love Elf♥ fit depending on the boss (Marisa Impact).
Support for Jovial Deception
She brings shield break (common on Physical-type bosses), Freeze (used against Ranged Kalpas) and her evasion-spam Astral Ring regen (Marisa Impact).
Support for Lone Destruction
Her shield break is a game-changer against Kasumi, and her evasion-spam Astral Ring regen is used against several of Lantern's bosses (Marisa Impact).
How to play
Core loop
- Her Basic ATK is a 3-hit combo; SEQ 3 (415% ATK) grants 1 Banquet Enjoyment. Her Combo ATK (hold ATK) and her Weapon Skills (tap or hold Weapon, on the ground or in the air) also grant 1 each. Holding Weapon inflicts Rime (Freeze) Trauma (3 charges, refilled by Moment of Indulgence).
- At 6 Banquet Enjoyment, tap ATK after an evasion or a jump (or simply ATK/Weapon) to cast Moment of Indulgence, a gathering finisher that counts as Combo ATK. Its multiplier grows with every source you used to fill the gauge (Basic SEQ 3 +120%, Combo ATK +75%, Weapon +90%), and switching sources adds 210% ATK bonus hits.
- Ultimate (100 SP): five shuttle slashes and an 800% ATK finisher under Time-frozen Domain. With her signature weapon, it adds 3s of Time-frozen Domain (14s CD since v9.0) and a Total DMG vulnerability.
- Moving or evading without attacking for 1–2s charges a bonus hit of up to 300% ATK on the next attack.
Astral Ring (Wheel of Destiny)
- Outside Stellar Outburst, Moment of Indulgence consumes her Stellar Drain to restore Intensity. With Banquet Rose, every Ultimate Evasion during Astral Ring Charging restores 2 Intensity: Marisa Impact's aerial evasion-spam tech refills the ring very fast.
- Entering Stellar Outburst fully refills Banquet Enjoyment (+150% ATK per point on the next Moment of Indulgence). Call a Phantom for a support attack and her 1,000% ATK Shadow Star Attack, then in Rondo in the Shadows every Basic SEQ 3, Combo ATK or Weapon Skill spawns a Phantom that also fills the gauge; Moment of Indulgence restores 20 SP.
- Under World Star she gains 6 Quantum Mech Energy: four quick Moment of Indulgence: Sick, then a full Moment of Indulgence, each triggering Resonance.
As a support
- Wheel of Destiny: on-field characters deal 30% more Elemental and Physical DMG and 80% more DMG to shields, and deal 12% more Total DMG while she is on standby. Her set's Share a Glass makes enemies take 30% more Total DMG.
- In Wheel of Destiny teams, only she and Hi♪ Love Elf♥ bring shield break and Freeze (Marisa Impact).
Marisa Impact's Stellar Outburst loop: use both supports, enter Outburst, Ultimate, call a Phantom, then fill Banquet Enjoyment (full Basic ATK string, tap/hold Weapon, Combo ATK) and fire Moment of Indulgence; repeat until Outburst ends. If the screen is too busy, watch the Banquet counter above her HP bar.
Strengths
- Great in her own match-ups: heavy Freeze Trauma and the best shield breaker of Wheel of Destiny teams.
- Rare support tools: 3s time stop after her Ultimate, Freeze, shield break and very fast Astral Ring regen with evasion spam.
- Strong Wheel of Destiny buffs (30% Elemental and Physical DMG, +12% Total DMG from the back line).
- Her stigmata are craftable, and her Rank-Up Stamps have been in the Supply Shop since v8.8.
Weaknesses
- No longer in every top team: newer supports took most of her spots, and her usage dropped in v8.6.
- Her Stellar Outburst gameplay is messy: it is hard to see whether her hits landed.
- S2 is a big upgrade (her Ultimate refills Banquet Enjoyment), so she feels slower at S0.
- Her signature weapon comes from the Equipment Supply (it was only briefly sold in the v8.5 Battle Pass).
Notable dupes · Rank
Stronger Wheel of Destiny support buffs (Elemental and Physical DMG, vulnerability).
Her Ultimate fully refills Banquet Enjoyment, and each point adds 100% ATK to the next Moment of Indulgence: a big upgrade for damage, rotation and Stellar Drain speed.
+6% Total DMG, +6 Freeze Trauma on charged Weapon Skills, and with Astral Ring active the characters not sharing the field with her deal 10% more Total DMG.
