Stigmata

Zorro T Top

Zorro M Middle

Zorro B Bottom

BBS recommendation: the Zorro set rewards her Ultimate Evasion loop (SP, Crit Rate, Physical DMG and an impairing Z-slash).

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).

Bianka: Theatre T Top

Bianka: Theatre M Middle

Bianka: Theatre B Bottom

Marisa Impact's pick: G4 Bianka: Theatre (+30% Total DMG and +30% Physical DMG), from the Foundry, Exchange Shop or Battle Pass.

Set effects

2pTotal DMG +30% (on Palatinus Equinox, triggering one piece's effect triggers them all).

3pPhysical DMG +30%; triggering the 2-piece effect gives the next Ultimate +80% Physical DMG and 200 HP of healing.

Zorro T Top

Planck M Middle

Zorro B Bottom

BBS alternative: Planck M prevents weak hits from interrupting her.

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).

2pWeak hits (below 15 × the Valkyrie's level) no longer interrupt the wearer; on Bronya, ranged attacks get a 15% Total DMG Multiplier.

3pHitting an enemy heals 5% HP (CD: 5s); on Bronya, SP regen +30%.

Attila T Top

Attila M Middle

Attila B Bottom

Guide

How to play

Brand and Sturmgeschütz

After Basic ATK SEQ 1, hold [ATK] for Purifier's Brand: a piercing Power Shot (300% ATK) that marks enemies with a 13s Hunted Brand.
After the 3 Basic ATK sequences, the next input fires Sturmgeschütz (aimable with the joystick): 4 × 50% ATK that impairs enemies (-50% DEF for 10s), plus 2 × 100% ATK on every branded enemy within 10m (2 × 200% if there are no more than 3 enemies).
From S rank, each Sturmgeschütz gives +8% Total DMG to her Basic ATK and Ultimate for 13s (6 stacks); she loses 2 stacks when hit outside Sturmgeschütz or her Ultimate.

Ultimate: Barrage Macabre

125 SP (CD: 30s): 10s in a powered battlesuit. Hold [ATK] to fire autorifles (impair) and missiles; she cannot die or switch out during it and heals if she drops below 25% HP.
At SS, an orbital bombardment strikes for 15s (150% ATK per second and Hunted Brand); at SSS she also burns the area with Fire DMG.

Evasion and passives

Ultimate Evasion deals 200% ATK around her, brands enemies and gives +15% Physical DMG for 10s; tap [ATK] within 3s for an instant Sturmgeschütz. A second Ultimate Evasion within 60s turns the mark into Holy Salve (10s): +45% DEF and fast healing below 30% HP.
QTE: triggered when an enemy is knocked airborne or its shield breaks; tap [ATK] right after for Sturmgeschütz. She deals +20% Total DMG to ignited or bleeding enemies.

Rotation: Basic ATK SEQ 1 → hold for the Power Shot (brand) → Basic ATK x3 → Sturmgeschütz, repeat to reach 6 buff stacks → Ultimate and hold [ATK] → Ultimate Evasion + Sturmgeschütz whenever an attack comes.

Strengths

Constant DEF impair (-50%) from Sturmgeschütz and her Ultimate.
Very safe Ultimate: she cannot die during it and heals at low HP.
Leader skill (S rank): +25% Move Speed for the team and +14% Attack Speed for MECH battlesuits.
Very easy to get (Open World, Expedition, Dorm Supply, Dorm Shop, Elysian Shop).

Weaknesses

Obsolete in 9.0: an A-rank with no Astral Ring, no endgame use and no Elysian Realm version.
Low damage: Marisa Impact notes she was never considered a good battlesuit, even at release.
Her damage stacks drop when she gets hit, and her Ultimate locks her in for 10s.
Kallen has no newer battlesuit, but any modern Physical DPS outperforms her.
