Release2.3

Night Squire is Fu Hua's A-rank BIO-type Physical gauntlet user from v2.3. She mixes punch and kick inputs into four different Combo ATKs, spends Ripple to empower their final hits, and her Ultimate opens an 8s Burst mode where every button press is a Combo ATK. She was one of the strongest battlesuits of her time and has one of the highest skill ceilings in the game (Marisa Impact), but she has no Astral Ring: she is obsolete in 9.0 and only worth playing for fun in older content.

Physical DPS

Weapons

Domain of Sentience BiS

Best in slot for both Marisa Impact and the BBS: Crit Rate, Physical DMG and extra SP on Combo ATKs. Forge it in the Foundry from Keys of Oblivion (Exchange Shop, Battle Pass).

PRI-ARM of Keys of Oblivion: its active makes Combo ATKs restore 15 bonus SP, +15% Crit Rate, +20% Physical DMG in Herrscher form, and +15% team Physical DMG while the wielder is on standby.

Nebulous Duality

BBS alternative: Fu Hua's gauntlets, with SP regen from the active and Total DMG stacks from combo finishers.

Azure Empyrea's signature gauntlets (PRI-ARM: Cosmic Duality): the active (25 SP) gives Ignore Interrupt, +10% ATK Speed and SP regen for 10s while draining 1% of current HP every 0.5s, and resets Azure Empyrea's Evasion protection; on Fu Hua, combo finishers stack up to +18% Total DMG and 3 charges, each giving teammates +4% Total DMG when she switches out.

Grips of Tai Xuan

BBS transitional pick.

Older gauntlet Divine Key: summons three Xuanyuan swords that Time Lock enemies, and landing different attack types stacks up to several Total DMG bonuses.

Stigmata

Dirac T Top

Dirac M Middle

Dirac B Bottom

G3 Dirac (Quantum Waltz set): best in slot for both Marisa Impact and the BBS. Crit Rate, Burst mode Total DMG, SP and Impair.

Set effects

2pQuantum Waltz set. With any 2 piece effects active, +35% Physical DMG, and both effects are refreshed and extended to 14s.

3pWith all 3 piece effects active, Ultimate and burst-mode attacks impair non-impaired enemies (DEF -50% for 3s), and the effects are refreshed and extended to 18s.

Zorro T Top

Zorro M Middle

Dirac B Bottom

BBS alternative: Zorro T/M reward Ultimate Evasions with SP, Crit Rate and Crit DMG, and Dirac B adds Physical DMG and SP.

Set effects

2pNight Vigilante set. Every 10s on the field, a charge zaps a nearby enemy (100% ATK of Lightning DMG, 3 Stun Trauma) and enables Destreza mode, where any evasion triggers Ultimate Evasion effects; after an Ultimate Evasion, Combo and Charged ATKs deal 20% more Total DMG for 5s.

3pAfter an Ultimate Evasion, the next attack unleashes a Z-slash (300% ATK of Physical DMG in a small area, CD: 10s) that impairs enemies (DEF -50% for 5s).

2pQuantum Waltz set. With any 2 piece effects active, +35% Physical DMG, and both effects are refreshed and extended to 14s.

3pWith all 3 piece effects active, Ultimate and burst-mode attacks impair non-impaired enemies (DEF -50% for 3s), and the effects are refreshed and extended to 18s.

Stat targets

Stigmata affixes: ATK on every piece
Reach S rank first: it unlocks most of her kit (Magister, Imperator, Catastrophe, Marshal, Devouring Wolf)
Keep at least 1 Ripple for every Combo ATK finisher

Leader

Where to get her: Open World, Expedition, Dorm Supply, Dorm Shop and Elysian Shop. All Part 1 A-rank battlesuits are outdated, so farm whichever one you like first (Marisa Impact).

Teams

Recommended teams

Part 1 Physical supports

Night Squire

Herrscher of Rebirth

Reign Solaris

Herrscher of Rebirth (Impair, Crit, SP) and Reign Solaris (shield break, Stun Trauma) are the go-to supports of Part 1 Physical teams. They make her playable in older content, but any newer Physical DPS uses them better. No Astral Ring for Night Squire here.

Classic Physical support + free buffs

Night Squire

Celestial Hymn

Valkyrie Blastmetal

A throwback team: Celestial Hymn impairs enemies (DEF -75%) and gives Crit DMG, Physical DMG and SP, and Valkyrie Blastmetal adds team-wide Total DMG buffs that work even without an Astral Ring. With Night Squire as the leader, BIO battlesuits (her and Celestial Hymn) get +36% Crit DMG. Two Fu Hua battlesuits cannot share a team, so Valkyrie Accipiter is not an option here.

Guide

How to play

Six Fists inputs

Her Ultimate button doubles as a kick button when tapped. Three punches = Ri-Ki Darting Kite, three kicks = Ri-Ki Phoenix Soar; both restore 1 Ripple and give Iron Body with 40% less Physical DMG taken for 5s.
Combo ATKs (Combo: Aurora): punch-punch-kick = Raptor Strike, punch-kick-kick = Rending Claw, kick-kick-punch = Talon Storm, kick-punch-punch = Moon Anseri (400% to 520% ATK of Physical DMG).
She starts with 3 Ripple (max 5). With Ripple, a Combo ATK's final hit spends 1 Ripple for 300% ATK of bonus Physical DMG and, from S rank, +40% Physical DMG for 4s and +4% Crit Rate per hit (up to 5 stacks).
From S rank, Raptor Strike or Rending Claw marks the target, and Talon Storm or Moon Anseri detonates the mark for 200% ATK of bonus Physical DMG: alternate the two pairs.

Ultimate: Thousand Stars (100 SP)

8s Burst mode with max Ripple and +30% ATK Speed (+80% more from S rank): any attack button goes straight into a Combo ATK, and nearby enemies are slowed by 50%.
From SS rank it inflicts Bleed Trauma around her, and from SSS rank nearby enemies take 40% more Physical DMG.

Tips

Ultimate Evasion triggers a 3s Time Fracture (4.5s with Vengeance, CD 11s from S rank) and gives 1 Ripple plus 25% Crit Rate.
Her QTE (Emperor's Ax) triggers on airborne enemies: 900% ATK of Physical DMG and a 3s Time Fracture.
From S rank she deals 30% more Total DMG to bleeding, ignited or slowed enemies while she has Ripple. From SS rank she regains Ripple off-field and, if she leaves with 0 Ripple, the team gets +15% Total DMG for 10s.

Leader skill: team +18% max HP, and BIO-type battlesuits +36% Crit DMG (S rank).

Strengths

Four Combo ATKs, animation cancels and one of the highest skill ceilings in the game: very fun to master.
Burst mode turns every button into a Combo ATK and slows enemies around her.
Iron Body, damage reduction and Time Fracture keep her safe.
Easy to farm: Open World, Expedition, Dorm Supply, Dorm Shop and Elysian Shop (Marisa Impact).

Weaknesses

Obsolete in 9.0: no Astral Ring, low damage by current standards.
Almost all of her kit is locked behind S rank.
Demanding inputs for very little payoff today.

Notable dupes · Rank

Big upgrade

Unlocks most of her kit: Magister (+40% Physical DMG), Imperator (+30% Total DMG against bleeding, ignited or slowed enemies), Catastrophe (mark and detonate), Marshal (Crit Rate stacks), +80% ATK Speed in Burst mode and a shorter Time Fracture CD.

Solid upgrade

Bleed Trauma in Burst mode, Ripple regen off-field and +15% team Total DMG when she leaves with 0 Ripple.

SSS

Optional

In Burst mode, nearby enemies take 40% more Physical DMG.
