Release8.2

Peregrine Sword is Li Sushang's S-rank BIO-type Physical battlesuit, a Gauntlets user who fights with a bamboo umbrella, protected by Law of Ascension. She is Part 2's first Bleed DPS: almost all her damage counts as Bleed DMG, and as the leader every hit adds three times its sequence to the combo counter. Great in Bleed and hit-count match-ups (v8.9 CN top 100 against Pishacha) and a niche support for Lunar Vow and Ba-Dum!, but only decent elsewhere.

Teams

Recommended teams

Law of Ascension Bleed DPS

The v8.9 CN top 100 lineup against Pishacha, with the Theresa AstralOp. Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon brings the Breach that powers her leader Bleed bonus (Lone Planetfarer is the older Breach option), and Lunar Vow adds Bleed stacks and stronger Bleed.

Bleed support for Lunar Vow

Lunar Vow's usual partners are Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon, Xentinel and Peregrine Sword, who brings Bleed DMG buffs and is especially useful in Bleed weather (v8.8 CN top 100: Cruising Tribunal, RPC-6626). Chenxue is the AstralOp.

Utility support for Ba-Dum!

Against the SD Alien Guard, Peregrine Sword's Bleed counters the creepers (Marisa Impact).

Guide

How to play

Core loop

  • Her QTE, Basic ATK, Weapon Skill, Ultimate and Star Strafe deal Bleed DMG, which is neither melee nor ranged and cannot crit.
  • Basic ATK SEQ 2 and 4 raise her Sword Force by 1 tier, and her Weapon Skill (the thrown umbrella) and Forest Piercer by 2. Once it is full (Initiation, Elevation, Transition, Conclusion), hold ATK for her Combo ATK.
  • After the Weapon Skill or SEQ 4, tap Weapon for the Joint Weapon Skill Forest Piercer; after the Combo ATK, tap Weapon for Swaying with Wind and Rain. Her Weapon Skills and Combo ATK inflict Bleed Trauma, and Combo ATK or Forest Piercer heal the team.
  • Her Ultimate (90 SP, 20s CD) makes her invincible and triggers Time-frozen Domain.

Astral Ring (Law of Ascension)

  • Her Stellar Shift throws sword waves: follow the button prompts (Time-frozen Domain for 2.8s), then she enters Delicious Delights for 11s. As the leader, tap Weapon to chain Forest Piercer, Leaf Sweep and Swaying with Wind and Rain, each of which resets her teammates' switch CD and triggers their QTE.
  • During Astral Ring Charging, Forest Piercer and Leaf Sweep consume her Stellar Drain.
  • As the leader she gains a big Bleed DMG boost, even more in Physical Breaker state, so a Breach support (Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon or Lone Planetfarer) matters a lot.

As a support

  • Her Weapon Skill or QTE gives the team World is My Oyster (3-piece set) for 25s; under Law of Ascension the set also impairs enemies (DEF -55%). She also supports Grail of Infinitude teams (Planar Armament: Warped Spacetime).

Marisa Impact's Elysian Realm loop (Augmented Ascension): use Stellar Outburst, press the QTE button when the prompt appears, press Weapon five times, repeat.

Strengths

  • Part 2's first Bleed DPS, with a rare Bleed DMG multiplier when she has Breach (Marisa Impact).
  • Huge hit count (3x combo counter as the leader) and Bleed Trauma: counters hit-count shields and Bleed checks (Husk, Lantern, Herrscher of Corruption).
  • Heals the team and supports Law of Ascension and Grail of Infinitude teams.
  • Her stigma set is craftable.

Weaknesses

  • Great in her optimal match-ups, only decent everywhere else (Marisa Impact).
  • Bleed DMG cannot crit and is not melee or ranged DMG, so many generic buffs do nothing for her.
  • Used less often as a Grail of Infinitude support now.
  • Newer battlesuits come first for new or F2P players.
