Release1.0

The Destruction Trailblazer is the Physical damage dealer you start the game with. She swings her bat with a Blast Skill, a two-mode Ultimate (single target or Blast) and a Talent that raises her ATK each time she breaks a Weakness. A solid early-game carry, she has fallen far behind modern damage dealers, and her Harmony, Remembrance and Elation forms are much better uses of the Trailblazer slot today.

Guide

How to play

How she works

  • Skill – RIP Home Run. Blast Physical DMG. Her A6 Fighting Will adds +25% DMG against the main target.
  • Ultimate – Stardust Ace (120 Energy). Choose Blowout: Farewell Hit (single-target) or Blowout: RIP Home Run (Blast, also boosted by her A6).
  • Talent – Perfect Pickoff. +20% ATK each time she inflicts Weakness Break, stacking up to 2 times; her A4 Tenacity adds +10% DEF per stack.
  • Ready for Battle (A2). She starts each battle with 15 Energy.
  • Technique – Immortal Third Strike. Heals all allies for 15% of their Max HP — handy for healing out of combat.

Rotation

  1. Spend Skill Points on her Skill every turn; she is SP-hungry, so pair her with Basic ATK-heavy supports.
  2. Use Blowout: Farewell Hit against elites and bosses, and Blowout: RIP Home Run against groups.
  3. Break Weaknesses early to stack her Talent's ATK bonus.

Tips

  • She is at her best against Physical-weak enemies, since breaking them fuels her Talent.
  • You can switch the Trailblazer's Path at any time outside combat: invest in her during the early game, then move on to Harmony or Remembrance.
  • Her E4 (+25% CRIT Rate against broken enemies) is her most useful Eidolon.

Strengths

  • Versatile damage dealer in the early game
  • Single-target and Blast options on the same Ultimate
  • All her Eidolons come for free
  • Out-of-combat healing with her Technique

Weaknesses

  • Her Harmony and Remembrance forms are vastly superior
  • Damage falls far behind beyond the early game
  • Her Talent needs time to ramp up
  • Very few buffs in her kit

Notable dupes · Eidolon

E1
Optional

10 extra Energy when her Ultimate defeats enemies.

E4
Solid upgrade

+25% CRIT Rate against Weakness Broken enemies.

E6
Optional

Her Talent also triggers when she defeats an enemy, so it stacks faster.
