Swallowtail Phantasm
Seele Vollerei
Swallowtail Phantasm is Seele's A-rank QUA-type Physical scythe user from v3.2, the game's first QUA-type battlesuit. She spends Veil on Charged ATKs, warps through enemies after Ultimate Evasions and lets Veliona take over in a very tanky Burst mode. She was a top mobbing pick in the old Abyss (Dirac Sea), but with no Astral Ring and no Elysian Realm slot she is obsolete in 9.0: a cheap, fun Physical DPS for Part 1 content and for fans of Seele.

Stat targets
- Reach S rank first: it unlocks most of her damage (Fragile Flight, Oneiric Shade, Traceless Shift)
- Keep Veil above 0 in Burst: Plane Warp and kills are your main refills
- Stigmata affixes: ATK and Crit
Talent priority
Where to get her: Open World, Expedition, Dorm Supply, Dorm Shop and Elysian Shop (Marisa Impact). Marisa Impact advises new players to farm whichever Part 1 A-rank they like, since they are all outdated.
Recommended teams
Budget Part 1 Physical (with Bronya)
An all A-rank team: her leader skill adds Total DMG when a Bronya battlesuit is present, Drive Kometa shields the team and boosts melee Physical DMG, and Starlit Astrologos buffs Physical DMG from off-field. No Astral Ring: Part 1 content only.
Part 1 Physical (Herrscher of Sentience)
The usual Part 1 Physical supports: Herrscher of Sentience's impair feeds her S-rank passive (+40% Total DMG against impaired enemies), and Starlit Astrologos adds Physical buffs.
How to play
Veil
- Her resource is Veil (max 500). Basic ATK hits restore Veil (more on SEQ 5), kills give 150 Veil, and her QTE refills 250.
- Charged ATK: Fluttering Ripple: hold [ATK] during her Basic ATK sequence to spend 250 Veil on a 4-hit Physical strike. It restores 10 SP and puts enemies in Vibration Mode for 6s: 40% slower and taking 30% more Total DMG from her.
Warp and evasion
- An Ultimate Evasion outside Burst opens Phase Warp: up to 6s of damage reduction during which she jumps straight to Basic ATK SEQ 4 and dashes through enemies. From S rank it also gives +25% Physical DMG and +50% SP recovery, so dodge on purpose.
Ultimate: Veliona's Torrent
- For 125 SP (CD 25s), she takes on Veliona's power and enters Burst mode (up to 18s, drains 30 Veil every 0.5s): Basic ATKs can crit harder, she takes 50% less Total DMG and gains +35% Physical DMG from S rank.
- In Burst, hold [ATK] to spend an evasion on a Plane Warp shuttle attack (CD 15s, 7s with its upgrade) that restores 180 Veil and inflicts Veliona's Binding: bound enemies take 40% more Total DMG from her, and kills chain directly into another shuttle.
- The final blow of the Ultimate inflicts Quantum Implosion on QUA-type enemies.
Rotation
- Build Veil with Basic ATKs, then Charged ATK to apply Vibration Mode and gain SP.
- Ultimate Evasion (or QTE on Time-Slowed enemies) for Phase Warp, then continue from Basic ATK SEQ 4.
- At 125 SP, Ultimate; in Burst, alternate Basic ATK strings and Plane Warp shuttles, and keep Veil topped up so Burst lasts.
With the Dirac set, her Burst attacks impair enemies, which also triggers her S-rank passive (+40% Total DMG against impaired enemies). Her leader skill gives the team up to +20% Crit Rate in Burst mode and +16% Total DMG if a Bronya battlesuit is on the team.
Strengths
- Cheap and easy to build: the battlesuit comes from Dorm Supply, shops and the Open World, and Path to Acheron and Dirac are in the Exchange Shop / Foundry.
- Very tanky for a DPS: 50% damage reduction in Burst mode and damage reduction during Phase Warp.
- Great mobbing with Charged ATK slows and Burst shuttle attacks that chain on kills.
- Inflicts Quantum Implosion on QUA-type enemies.
Weaknesses
- Obsolete: no Astral Ring and no Elysian Realm slot, so she is limited to Part 1 content.
- Low damage against single bosses compared with any modern Physical DPS; her role has long been taken over by Seele's later battlesuits (Stygian Nymph, Herrscher of Rebirth).
- Veil management is unforgiving: Burst ends early if you stop gaining Veil.
- Most of her damage buffs need S rank.
Notable dupes · Rank
