Release3.5

Stygian Nymph is Seele's S-rank QUA-type Physical scythe user from v3.5. She switches between gentle Saule and fierce Veliona with her Ultimate, fills a shared meter to resonate the marks her Charged ATKs leave, and her Ultimate Evasion triggers a Global Time Fracture that instantly refills the meter. She was mandatory in the Memorial Arena during her prime and briefly came back with her PRI-ARM, but she has no Astral Ring and is obsolete in 9.0: Herrscher of Rebirth is Seele's modern Physical DPS.

  • Cast the Ultimate at 150 SP when possible for the full +75% Total DMG
  • SS rank gives two evasion charges, which smooths the whole loop

Where to get her: Dorm Supply, War Treasury and Battle Pass (Marisa Impact). In the Elysian Realm, Marisa Impact starts with the Vulnerable Duality and Intergrowth signets (Union optional) and warns to play a lower difficulty.

Teams

Recommended teams

Part 1 Physical QTE chain

Stygian Nymph
Void Drifter
Herrscher of Sentience

Herrscher of Sentience impairs enemies, which triggers Void Drifter's QTE; Void Drifter's third Combo sequence applies Time Slow, which triggers Stygian Nymph's QTE. Three different types (QUA, MECH, BIO) unlock her leader skill's +21% Physical DMG. Old content only.

Budget Physical support

Stygian Nymph
Starlit Astrologos
Void Drifter

Starlit Astrologos buffs team Physical DMG and Crit Rate from the background, and Void Drifter's Time Slow sets up the QTE. All three are farmable; Herrscher of Rebirth makes far better use of Physical supports today.

Guide

How to play

Saule and Veliona

  • Her two forms share a 400-point meter: Saulian Ego for Saule, Veilian Id for Veliona. Her Ultimate swaps from one to the other.
  • Charged ATK: Day and Night (hold [ATK] during Basic ATK, evasion or QTE):
  • Saule: at full Ego, spends 400 to brand the target with Sunnebrand and resonate for 400% ATK of AOE Physical DMG.
  • Veliona: her Charged ATK applies Veilmarks; at full Id, it spends 400 to resonate with every Veilmark (500% ATK of Physical DMG).
  • Resonated marks restore 12 SP (CD 1s) and gain +20% Crit Rate and +50% Crit DMG. With a full meter, tapping [ATK] after the Basic ATK sequence auto-performs the Charged ATK.

Ultimate: Chthonic Fury

  • Can be cast at any SP but spends it all: +0.5% Total DMG per SP spent (max +75% at 150 SP). CD 25s; inflicts Quantum Implosion on QUA-type enemies.
  • Saule's Ultimate gathers and immobilizes enemies for 4s and awakens Veliona with 400 Id (+15% ATK Speed and doubled Id regen for 12s).
  • Veliona's Ultimate deals 500% + 2,500% ATK of Physical DMG and awakens Saule with 400 Ego (Ignore Interrupt, +25% Physical DMG and 40% Physical DMG Reduction for 12s).

Flash of Eternity

  • Ultimate Evasion triggers a 3s Global Time Fracture (CD 15s) and refills 400 Ego or Id, so a Charged ATK right after always resonates.
  • While it is off cooldown, Saule's evasion and Veliona's forward evasion pass through enemies and trigger it (2s Time Fracture).
  • Her QTE triggers on enemies under Time Slow or weakened and also refills the meter.

Rotation (Marisa Impact)

  1. Cast the Ultimate.
  2. Evade, then Charged ATK. Do it once more.
  3. Repeat.

Leader skill: the team gains 14% Crit Rate, plus 21% Physical DMG if the team has three different types.

Strengths

  • Free: Dorm Supply, War Treasury and Battle Pass, with Path to Acheron and Allan Poe in the Exchange Shop and Battle Pass (Marisa Impact).
  • Global Time Fracture on every Ultimate Evasion, which also refills her meter.
  • Her Ultimate gathers enemies and inflicts Quantum Implosion on QUA-type enemies.
  • Simple loop and good self-sustain with Allan Poe and her signature scythe.

Weaknesses

  • Obsolete in 9.0: an outdated Part 1 Physical DPS with no Astral Ring.
  • Her role has long been taken by Seele's later battlesuits, first of all Herrscher of Rebirth.
  • Her Ultimate consumes all your SP and needs 150 SP for its full bonus.
  • Marisa Impact does not recommend farming her first: unlock her later for Elysian Realm first-clear rewards.
