Set effects

2pThe DMG of Aftershocks and Dash Attacks is increased by 15%.

4pUpon hitting an enemy with an Aftershock or Dash Attack, if the DMG dealt aligns with the equipper's attribute, the equipper gains 1 stack of a buff effect, at most once per use of a skill. For each stack, the equipper's ATK increases by 4%, and CRIT Rate increases by 4%. The effect can stack up to 3 times and lasts for 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

With their signature, you can swap disc 6 to ATK% for more personal damage. Avoid PEN Ratio on disc 5: their DEF ignore makes it less efficient.

Teams

Recommended teams

Aftershock: Soldier 0 - Anby & Trigger

Soldier 0 - Anby

Orphie & Magus

Trigger

Their most used team in both current endgame modes. All three deal Aftershock DMG, so everyone benefits from Zeroed In's DEF ignore, and Soldier 0 - Anby shares CRIT DMG in return. Bangboo: Mercury (Defense Force).

Obol Squad: Seed & Trigger

Seed

Orphie & Magus

Trigger

Orphie's cheap on-field EX Special feeds Seed's Steel Charge. Harder to play optimally, with lots of quick swaps. Bangboo: Mercury.

Support: Soldier 0 - Anby & Astra Yao

Soldier 0 - Anby

Orphie & Magus

Astra Yao

Astra Yao (Support) also enables their Additional Ability if you don't have Trigger. Bangboo: Mercury.

Guide

How to play

Aftershocks everywhere

Their Core Passive gives them CRIT Rate +25% and Aftershock DMG +85%, and almost every attack worth using counts as an Aftershock: the fire blade finisher of their Basic Attack, all their EX Specials, their Chain Attack and their Ultimate.

Off-field, during your allies' attacks, they fire Special Attack: Corrosive Flash (once every 5s). With 60+ Energy, it becomes EX Special Attack: Crimson Vortex instead (costs 30 Energy).
On-field, EX Special Attack: Watch Your Step costs 30 Energy and is followed by the fire blade.

Bottled Heat and Zeroed In

They start with 100 Bottled Heat (max 125) and gain 20 per EX Special, Chain Attack, Ultimate and Corrosive Flash.
At 100+, hold Special for EX Special Attack: Heat Charge: a long laser that triggers a Quick Assist as it starts. Swap out and let it run: it ends with Fiery Eruption. Note that you can't swap back to them until it's over.
The laser gives the squad Zeroed In for 12s: +280 ATK, plus 20 ATK per 0.1 of their initial Energy Regen above 1.6, up to +700. Each Aftershock from a buffed ally extends it by 4s (up to +20s).
Additional Ability (Stun or Support teammate): Aftershock DMG from Zeroed In allies ignores 25% DEF. PEN Ratio loses value next to it.

Ultimate

As they leap into the air, their Ultimate triggers a Quick Assist: always take it, it extends the laser for extra damage.

In practice

Keep Zeroed In up with Heat Charge, and plan your team rotation around its long animation.
With Seed: use the on-field EX Special often, as its low 30 Energy cost feeds Seed's Steel Charge.
Elsewhere: let the off-field lasers do the work and only step in for Heat Charge and the Ultimate.

Strengths

Good off-field and on-field damage on top of a big squad ATK buff.
Low skill floor with a high skill ceiling: lots of room for optimisation.
Cheap to build: few skills to level, and accessible W-Engines and Drive Discs.
Rare DEF-ignore buff for Aftershock teammates.

Weaknesses

Long off-field animations during which you can't swap back to them, which can get in the way of team combos.
Their strongest synergies are locked to a few Electric Attack Agents (Soldier 0 - Anby, Seed) and Aftershock Stunners.
Low potential as a main DPS.
