Quantum
The Hunt
Seele
Backbone of Wildfire
Seele is a Quantum Hunt damage dealer built around extra turns: whenever she defeats an enemy with her Basic ATK, Skill or Ultimate, she enters the Amplification state and immediately acts again. Her 4.2 Novaflare enhancement raised her multipliers, made her A2 stack and lets her Skill fire automatically on enemies at 50% HP or less. Extremely fast and deadly against groups of enemies, she is hard to master and weaker against a lone boss.

Recommended teams
Sparkle & Cerydra
Sparkle feeds Skill Points and advances her; Cerydra copies her Skill with extra CRIT DMG and RES PEN, and can even grant a bonus Resurgence mid-chain.
Sparkle & Sunday
Her most played team: two action advancers and plenty of Skill Points to fuel long chains of kills, while Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae shields and buffs her ATK.
Free team
The Trailblazer (Remembrance) advances her turn and adds True DMG, Asta speeds up the team and Natasha keeps everyone alive.
How to play
How she works
- Resurgence (Talent). Defeating an enemy with her Basic ATK, Skill or Ultimate puts her in the Amplification state (+80% DMG for 3 turns) and grants her an extra turn. Kills made during that extra turn can't trigger another Resurgence.
- Sheathed Blade (Skill). 360% of her ATK to one enemy and +25% SPD for 3 turns: her 115 base SPD, the highest in the game, becomes 143.75. Once per turn (reset at the start of her turn), when any ally attacks an enemy that ends up at 50% HP or less, Seele automatically uses her Skill on it for free: no Skill Point, no Energy. That free Skill can also trigger Resurgence.
- Butterfly Flurry (Ultimate, 120 Energy). 720% of her ATK to one enemy, and she enters Amplification.
- Traces. A2 (Nightshade): +50% DMG per kill, up to 3 stacks for 3 turns. A4 (Lacerate): +25% Quantum RES PEN in Amplification. A6 (Rippling Waves): her Basic ATK advances her next action by 20%, even during extra turns.
Rotation
- Open with her Technique: she starts in Amplification and hits a random enemy for her Skill multiplier with a guaranteed CRIT.
- Use her Skill on enemies she can finish off to chain Resurgence turns.
- When a kill fills her Energy, queue her Ultimate right away, before the extra turn starts, so no Energy is wasted.
- Short on Skill Points? Finish low-HP enemies with Basic ATKs: they save Skill Points and advance her next turn.
Tips
- She is at her best against waves of enemies (Pure Fiction) and struggles against lone bosses, where Resurgence rarely triggers.
- Buffs don't tick down during extra turns, so even a 1-turn buff can last through a whole chain of kills.
- She doesn't need SPD boots: 115 base SPD plus her Skill already give 143 SPD in combat, and E2 lets the Skill buff stack twice.
- Cerydra's copied Skill isn't bound by Resurgence's limit: if it lands the kill mid-chain, Seele gets yet another extra turn.
Strengths
- Great AoE-scenario performance despite being a single-target Hunt character
- Highest base SPD in the game, and frequent extra turns
- Very strong self-buffs, including rare RES PEN
- Works with almost any support
- In the standard 50/50 pool, so Eidolons can come for free
Weaknesses
- Worse in pure single-target fights, where she can't trigger Resurgence
- Very hard to learn and optimise
- Slow ramp-up: she needs kills to get going
- Very dependent on her Ultimate
Notable dupes · Eidolon
+15% CRIT Rate and 20% DEF ignore against enemies at 80% HP or less.
Her Skill's SPD buff stacks twice (+50%): 160+ SPD becomes easy, which boosts In the Night and Glamoth.
15 Energy per kill: far more Ultimates, especially in Pure Fiction.
Her Ultimate marks the target with Butterfly Flurry: every attack it takes adds True DMG equal to 30% of her Ultimate DMG, and its death by any unit triggers Resurgence.
