Sigrid is an Ice Attack DPS from Roscaelifer who levels up a timed stance to unlock three increasingly powerful enhanced Basic Attacks. Her Formation Breaker state lets her unload all three back-to-back during a Stun. She hits a step above most CRIT attackers before her, and she works with a wide range of Stunners and Supports, standard-banner ones included.

Main DPS

W-Engines

Knight's Extolment BiS
S · CRIT DMG
Best in slot: 48% CRIT DMG main stat, up to +64% CRIT DMG and 20% Ice RES ignore, all easy to maintain.
Heavy hits from Basic and EX Special Attacks grant Battle Edge (CRIT DMG +32%, up to 2 stacks); at 2 stacks, DMG ignores 20% of Ice RES.
The Brimstone
S · ATK%
Best standard option. No CRIT Rate means no overcap, and her constant Basic Attacks keep it close to full stacks. At P5, it gets close to her signature.
Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks and Dodge Counters stack ATK +3.5% for 8s, up to 8 times.
Severed Innocence
S · CRIT DMG
Soldier 0 - Anby's signature is a strong stat stick with no CRIT Rate. It needs the occasional Special Attack to keep its second stack.
CRIT DMG +30%, plus up to +30% more from Basic Attack, Special Attack and Aftershock hits; at 3 stacks, Electric DMG +20%.
Myriad Eclipse
S · CRIT Rate
Game8's top alternative, with high CRIT DMG and DEF ignore on Ice EX, Chain and Ultimate hits. Its CRIT Rate main stat makes overcapping more likely, so adjust your discs.
CRIT DMG +45%; dealing Ice DMG with an EX Special, Chain Attack or Ultimate lets hits ignore 25% of DEF for 3s.
Starlight Engine
A · ATK%
Craftable F2P pick. Dodge Counters count as Unbridled Spear attacks, but it stays well behind the other options.
Dodge Counters and Quick Assists raise ATK by 12% for 12s.

Hormone Punk ×4
Puffer Electro ×2
The best generalist set. She's already saturated on Combat ATK, but the raw ATK bonus is big enough to still pay off.

Branch & Blade Song ×2
Best in slot with Dialyn, who gives her at least one Ultimate per Stun, often two.

Great since most of her damage comes from enhanced Basics, especially with Mindscapes. Use an EX just before the combo to trigger the 4-pc bonus. Game8 pairs it with Branch & Blade Song, while Prydwen recommends Puffer Electro as the 2-pc.

Only take CRIT Rate substats until you reach 33.8% on the stat screen. After that, CRIT DMG and ATK% are worth more.

Teams

Recommended teams

Premium: Norma & Astra Yao

Game8's main team and her most used Shiyu Defense team. Norma is her best Stunner overall: extra Chain Attacks help with Decibels and feed more enhanced Basics, and Astra Yao's Chain Attack conversions add even more. Sunna is an equally strong Support: her buffs are easy to keep up, and her Daze can unlock an extra Stun in some fights.

Ultimate spam: Dialyn & Rina

Dialyn's Ultimate conversions enable the Puffer Electro 4-pc build and her burst Daze is excellent. Since Sigrid is saturated on most multipliers, Rina's PEN Ratio is especially valuable, even more so from M2.

Standard banner: Lycaon & Rina

An accessible team with two standard S-Ranks. Lycaon's Ice buffs are strong and his Daze keeps up, and he shares a faction with Rina.

Guide

How to play

Aerial Patrol Spear

  • Landing an Unbridled Spear attack (4th hit of her Basic string, EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, Ultimate, Dodge Counter or Assist Follow-Up) puts her in the Aerial Patrol Spear state. It grants +66% CRIT Rate (8s, extended by 8s on each refresh, up to 40s) and one use of her enhanced Basic Attack: Converging Spear (hold Basic).
  • Each Converging Spear advances the stance (stage 1 → 2 → 3), but doesn't refresh its timer. Land another Unbridled Spear attack before the gauge runs out to refresh it and get your next, stronger Spear. Swapping out pauses the timer.
  • If she's hit while charging a stage 1 or 2 Converging Spear, she blocks with her shield: the hit is negated, the stance is refreshed, she gets another Spear use and the next Spear deals double Daze. The block itself deals no damage.
  • Her regular Special Attack isn't an Unbridled Spear attack, so skip it.

Stun burst

  • While in Aerial Patrol Spear, her EX Special Attack is upgraded: it costs only 50 Energy and deals over twice the damage. Save it for the Stun.
  • A Chain Attack on a Stunned enemy grants Formation Breaker (once per Stun). Hold Basic to fire all three Converging Spears in a row with the timer frozen, then she goes back to the stage she had stored. Chain Attacks also give enhanced Basics +20% DMG for 50s.
  • Sample combo with Norma: Spear 3 → Chain Attack → Spear 1 → Spear 2 → Spear 3 → Chain Attack → Spear 1 → enhanced EX → Spear 2 → Norma's Chain conversion → Spear 3 → Ultimate.

Opening the Stun with a stage-3 Spear is a small but real gain. Time your swaps so the stance is still up when the enemy breaks.

Strengths

  • Very high damage, a step above most CRIT attackers released before her.
  • Flexible teams: great results with limited or standard Stunners and Supports.
  • Several good W-Engines besides her signature, and multiple viable Drive Disc sets.
  • Simple gameplan: keep the stance up and cycle your enhanced Basics.

Weaknesses

  • Lining up enhanced Basics, EX and Decibels for the Stun takes some routing.
  • Part of her Additional Ability needs Contaminated enemies, so she misses some value without Wind.
  • Easy to overcap on CRIT Rate, which makes rolling good substats frustrating.
