Silverwing: N-EX is Bronya's S-rank BIO-type Ice battlesuit, a ranged gunner who fights around her scatter barrier. Her v8.8 Divine Key, Blue Thunder Shuttle EX19, gives her Astral Ring: World Star and brought her back into the meta: she is now the go-to teammate for Wings of Panacea and Herrscher of Rebirth, a Stellar Surplus DPS in her own right, and a Breach support for Law of Ascension teams that include Kiana and Mei.
Weapons
Blue Thunder Shuttle: Protocol One BiS
S
Best in slot: stronger version of the Divine Key, forged in the Foundry.
PRI-ARM of Blue Thunder Shuttle EX19 (v8.8, Foundry). On Silverwing: N-EX it unlocks Astral Ring: World Star (Critical Overload in Stellar Outburst, a black-hole weapon skill, teammates' weapon skills and Ultimates trigger her QTE). Total DMG +30%, and enemies take 12% more Elemental DMG from the team (21% during Stellar Surplus).
Blue Thunder Shuttle EX19
A
Mandatory minimum: without it (or its PRI-ARM) she has no Astral Ring at all. Synergy copies make enemies take up to 7% more Total DMG (and, when she leads, add HP-loss damage and Intensity).
Silverwing: N-EX's v8.8 Divine Key: on her it unlocks Astral Ring: World Star and a black-hole weapon skill. Total DMG +25%, and enemies take 9% more Elemental DMG from the team (15% during Stellar Surplus); Synergy copies make enemies take up to 7% more Total DMG.

Set effects

3pUltimate and weapon skill +10% Total DMG. On Silverwing: N-EX, her Ultimate, QTE, Stellar Surplus, Stellar Outburst or entering as the leader give the whole team Sparkling Stars (25s): large Elemental, Physical and Total DMG buffs under World Star or Law of Ascension, and enemies take 15% (leader) or 25% (support) more Ice DMG from her. Craftable.

World Star DPS
Marisa Impact's best team: Wings of Panacea brings Breach, Herrscher of Rebirth big buffs (Hi♪ Love Elf♥ is the second choice). Without Wings of Panacea, Lone Planetfarer is the Breach option. AstralOp: SS-rank Bailu Youyun first, then S-rank Youyun, Songque or Dreamseeker.
World Star support (Wings of Panacea)
Silverwing with her Divine Key is Wings of Panacea's number-one teammate (Azure Origin); the last slot is Hi♪ Love Elf♥, Herrscher of Rebirth, Lone Planetfarer or Sparkle for Quantum collapse.
World Star support (Herrscher of Rebirth)
Wings of Panacea (or Lone Planetfarer) for Breach, and Silverwing shares the top score for the second slot with Herrscher of Finality; Ba-Dum! or Hi♪ Love Elf♥ are preferred against Stardust mobs. For Law of Ascension, she also supports Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star when Kiana and Mei are both on the team.
Guide
How to play
Scatter barrier basics
- Her passive deploys a scatter barrier fed by the N-EX Threshold (10 bars, one lost per second while the barrier stands). Shots that pass through it are doubled, and deploying it triggers a 3.5s global Time Fracture.
- With a barrier up, the last hit of each Basic ATK sequence gives a charge; at 2 charges, tap ATK to chain into a special Combo ATK (2.5s global Time Fracture). Combo ATK and Ultimate redeploy the barrier, and evading moves it between her and the last enemy hit.
Astral Ring: World Star (Blue Thunder Shuttle required)
- The World Star kit only unlocks with Blue Thunder Shuttle EX19 or Blue Thunder Shuttle: Protocol One.
- With a barrier up, hold ATK to cast Mirage Impact (1,000% ATK of Ice DMG, retrieves the barrier). During Astral Ring Charging it consumes her Stellar Drain to restore Intensity (10, +10 under World Star, and Stellar Outburst CD -5s); cast under 5 bars, it also cuts her Ultimate CD by 5s.
- Entering Stellar Outburst gives her Quantum Mech Energy: mash ATK for an airborne sequence whose hits force Resonance attacks and restore SP. Her Ultimate becomes Critical Overload, a global missile barrage that ends Stellar Outburst.
- As the leader, she leaves Harmonic Annotation marks and devours her teammates' Domain Resonance marks.
- Stellar Surplus: once Astral Ring Intensity is capped during Charging, extra Intensity becomes Surplus Intensity (up to 20). When she leads a full Astral Ring team, all members gain Stellar Shine: enemies take more damage during Surplus, 10 Surplus Intensity gives the team 20% Total DMG for 15s, and entering Stellar Outburst with 10/20 Surplus Intensity makes enemies take 8%/12% more Total DMG. As a support, her first Surplus gives the whole team Stellar Vortex.
- Her Divine Key lets teammates' weapon skills and Ultimates trigger her QTE, and once both teammates' Stellar Drains are consumed, her switch CD resets and her QTE fires.
As a support
- Wings of Panacea: with Seele leading, Azure Origin gives Seele Elemental Breaker (+6% Elemental Breach), +10% Total DMG and +13% Lightning DMG, and enemies take 20% more Total DMG.
- Law of Ascension (as a support): with both Kiana and Mei on the team, every member deals 24% more Total DMG and gains Elemental or Physical Breach.
- Her Almagest set spreads Sparkling Stars to the whole team for 25s after her Ultimate or QTE.
Marisa Impact's loops: Stellar Outburst = enter Outburst, one full ATK sequence, Ultimate (Critical Overload), repeat. Astral Ring Charging = deploy the barrier with Combo ATK or Ultimate, spam ATK, Ultimate whenever it is ready.
Strengths
- Marisa Impact's number-one teammate for Wings of Panacea and a top pick for Herrscher of Rebirth.
- Enables Stellar Surplus for the whole team and hands out big team buffs through Almagest.
- Flexible: World Star DPS, World Star support, and Breach support for Law of Ascension teams with Kiana and Mei.
- The battlesuit comes from the War Treasury and the Almagest set is craftable.
Weaknesses
- Her Astral Ring only exists with Blue Thunder Shuttle EX19 or its PRI-ARM: her old Falcon Flare cannons do not unlock it.
- As a DPS she leans on the Youyun AstralOp to reach Stellar Surplus quickly (an SS-rank Youyun gets her there almost instantly), which is a big investment.
- Weak in the Elysian Realm even fully geared, and Marisa Impact does not rate her DLC as a pull priority.
