Release1.0

Clara is a Physical Destruction counter-attacker who fights alongside the robot Svarog. Enemies that hit her are countered and marked, her Skill deals double damage to marked enemies, and her Ultimate draws aggro and powers up Svarog's next Counters. Tanky, with most of her damage dealt outside her turns, she benefits greatly from long-lasting buffs, but she has fallen behind in the current endgame.

Sparkle's CRIT DMG buff lasts until Clara's next turn and covers every Counter in between, Tribbie adds RES PEN, and Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae shields and buffs her ATK.

Topaz makes the target take more Follow-Up ATK DMG, which boosts every Counter, and adds her own follow-ups.

Free team

The Trailblazer (Remembrance) and Asta buff her, and Lynx keeps her alive while she soaks up hits.

Guide

How to play

How she works

  • Because We're Family (Talent). Clara takes 10% less DMG. When an enemy attacks her, Svarog Counters it for 160% of her ATK and applies a Mark of Counter. Counters are Follow-Up ATKs.
  • Svarog Watches Over You (Skill). An AoE attack that deals the same damage again to every marked enemy, then removes all Marks (her E1 keeps them).
  • Promise, Not Command (Ultimate, 110 Energy). For 2 turns, she takes 25% less DMG and is far more likely to be attacked. Svarog's next 2 Counters are Enhanced: +160% multiplier, 50% splash damage to adjacent enemies, and they trigger whenever any ally is attacked.
  • Revenge (A6). +30% Counter DMG. Kinship (A2) can cleanse a debuff when she's hit, and Under Protection (A4) helps her resist Crowd Control.

Rotation

  1. Use her Technique to start the fight with extra aggro.
  2. Use her Ultimate whenever it's ready: Enhanced Counters are her biggest source of damage.
  3. Use her Skill when several enemies carry a Mark of Counter, and Basic ATKs otherwise to save Skill Points.

Tips

  • She needs to be hit: slow or passive enemies lower her damage a lot.
  • SPD barely matters for her. With Poet of Mourning Collapse, keep her SPD below 95 before combat for +32% CRIT Rate; action advancers make up for her low SPD.
  • Most of her damage lands outside her turns, so buffs that last until her next turn (Sparkle, Robin, Tingyun) are ideal.

Strengths

  • High damage ceiling
  • Very durable for a damage dealer
  • Most of her damage is off-turn, so she makes great use of buffs
  • Standard 5★, easy to obtain

Weaknesses

  • Her damage output varies with enemy behaviour
  • Struggles against slow or non-aggressive enemies
  • Outclassed in current endgame content
