Release8.3

Planar Armament: Warped Spacetime is Helia's S-rank BIO-type Lightning battlesuit, a Rapid-Shot Crossbow user protected by Grail of Infinitude. She chains three escalating Ultimates, rains Drifting Edges that refill her SP and turns the team's shared SP into a huge Stellar Outburst. She is a strong Lightning DPS in her match-ups (v9.0 Extreme Flying Fish, v8.9 Extreme Parvati in the CN top 100) and the best partner for Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon, with whom she appears in the top Abyss teams of v8.9 and v9.0.

Grail of Infinitude DPS

Planar Armament: Warped Spacetime
Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon
Xentinel · Dawnbearing Crescent

Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon gives Elemental Breach, big buffs and more Paralyze Trauma. The v9.0 CN top 100 (Extreme Flying Fish) also used Reign Solaris instead of Coralie; Lunar Vow is the pick against Extreme Parvati. Chenxue is the AstralOp: supports only need to cast their Ultimate during Stellar Outburst.

Support for Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon

Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon
Planar Armament: Warped Spacetime
Lone Planetfarer

Coralie's best team: 100% of the v8.9 CN top 100 against Litost (Chenxue AstralOp), and the v9.0 CN top 100 team against Argent Knight: Artemis (Senadina AstralOp). Her buffs beat two Rite of Oblivion supports in most cases and she consumes Stellar Drain quickly with her Ultimate.

Missing a Symbiosis teammate

Planar Armament: Warped Spacetime
Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon
Valkyrie Blastmetal

Without a third Symbiosis teammate, Lone Planetfarer, Herrscher of Finality or Valkyrie Blastmetal can fill the slot; do one sequence per Stellar Outburst and end it early (Marisa Impact).

Guide

How to play

Core loop

  • Each Ultimate (100 SP, no cooldown) gives her 1 Scorch stack and changes with her stacks: Felled Cloud at 0, Ruptured Wind at 1 or 2. At 3 stacks, a single tap chains Felled Cloud, Ruptured Wind and Condensed Thunder. Her Ultimates grant Iron Body, -30% DMG taken and 12 Paralyze Trauma.
  • Every Ultimate gives her Floating Pivot for 10s: Basic ATK, Downward ATK and evasions then release Drifting Edges, which restore SP. During Astral Ring Charging, Drifting Edges restore 300% more SP while her SP is between 0 and 100.
  • At 3 Scorch, hold ATK for her Combo ATK Pierced Sun: 4s of global Time Fracture, pulls enemies in and triggers teammates' QTEs.

Astral Ring (Grail of Infinitude)

  • Her Ultimate consumes her Stellar Drain (20 Intensity under Grail of Infinitude); she starts every battle with it.
  • In Stellar Outburst, the whole team shares one SP pool. As the leader, every SP she spends becomes Shining Trace; each 900 triggers a Facet of Infinitude, and after 2 Facets her Pierced Sun and Link Ultimate Rainless Skies hit much harder. Rainless Skies (after Pierced Sun) ends Stellar Outburst.
  • As the leader, a Symbiosis teammate's Ultimate resets her switch CD and triggers her QTE, and each Symbiosis teammate's first Ultimate in Outburst adds 300 Shining Trace. Without 3 Symbiosis members she lacks the SP for a full Outburst rotation: do one sequence and end Outburst early (Marisa Impact).

As a support

  • Off the leader slot, her QTE entry makes her next Ultimate free. Her Ultimate or QTE gives the team Raise the Banner (3-piece set) for 25s.
  • When Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon leads, her Honest Feelings passive gives the team +30% Elemental DMG and +20% Total DMG, enemies take 16% more Total DMG, and her Stellar Drain restores 10 extra Intensity.

Marisa Impact's Elysian Realm loops: Astral Ring Charging = spam Weapon then Ultimate (Combo ATK once or twice is optional). Stellar Outburst = spam Basic ATK (she auto-casts her Ultimate with enough SP), then Combo ATK and the finisher Ultimate before Outburst ends.

Strengths

  • Strong Lightning DPS in her match-ups: top CN Abyss teams against Extreme Parvati (v8.9) and Extreme Flying Fish (v9.0).
  • Best partner for Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon, with big team buffs when Coralie leads.
  • Inflicts heavy Paralyze Trauma, and as the leader her Symbiosis teammates' Ultimates add more.
  • Counters PSY enemies (40% less DMG taken, extra Total DMG), and her stigma set is craftable.

Weaknesses

  • As a DPS she needs three Symbiosis members for a full Stellar Outburst rotation.
  • Brings nothing new to existing Law of Ascension or Grail of Infinitude teams as a support (Marisa Impact).
  • Newer battlesuits come first for new or F2P players.

Notable dupes · Rank

S1
Optional

More Total DMG against PSY enemies (10% to 15%).

S2
Solid upgrade

An extra Weapon Skill charge and Ultimate Evasion Skill charge: a smoother rotation. As the leader, stronger Facet of Infinitude and Total DMG taken buffs.

SS
Big upgrade

During Astral Ring Charging, once the ring is full, her Ultimate no longer costs SP until Stellar Outburst; she also gains more Total DMG against PSY enemies and a bigger Lightning DMG taken debuff above 145 Intensity.
