GUIDEMechanics and How to Use

At a Glance

A Rupture and Poise Identity that applies heavy Rupture against enemies she surpasses in Offense Level, then builds Poise for a powerful critical S3 Crimson Spring. Heishou Pack - Wu Branch Adept Yi Sang helps cover her shortages in Poise and Power.

Core Mechanics

  • Offense Level advantage: The combat passive Rupture-breathing Resolve [破吸自桓] (5 Gluttony Owned; unlocked at Uptie Ⅱ) gives +1 Clash Power when her Offense Level is higher than her Clash opponent's, and +1 to the Rupture Potency or Count inflicted by basic skills (twice per turn). Defeating an enemy also grants Poise equal to that enemy's Rupture (up to 3, once per turn).
  • S3 — Crimson Spring: A single Unbreakable Coin. +(20/50 + her Poise + main target's Rupture)% damage (up to 40/75%), plus +(45/80 + her Poise + main target's Rupture)% Critical damage (up to 65/105%), plus +5% Critical damage per Launcher, up to 30%. +1 Attack Weight each if the target has 6/5 or more types of negative effects, or if she has 3 or more Launcher.
  • Securing Poise: S1 Crimson Strike grants Poise on Clash Win. Coin Ⅲ of S2 Crimson Phoenix grants Poise equal to the target's Rupture, up to 5. Her own Poise alone likely cannot make Crimson Spring's Critical Hits reliable.
  • Coordination with Yi Sang's Heishou Pack - Wu Branch Adept: Through Yi Sang's passive The Steed's Houndlike Loyalty [狗馬之心], when deployed together, she gains 3 Poise Potency whenever her skill effects inflict Rupture or Rupture Count (twice per turn; not for E.G.O skills). At Turn Start, she also receives 1 Attack Power Up (+1 more at 10 or more Poise Potency), and after Yi Sang uses Obsidian Stormrider's Crescent Decapitator [黑風馬脚月斬], she makes an Assist Attack with Crimson Spring, once per turn.
  • Launcher and Ready: Launcher [始] is the number of turns she has participated in battle, up to 6. At 3 or more Launcher, the Defense skill Adept Evasion makes her retreat at Turn End. Through the passive Launching Maneuver [始動], on retreat she gives allies (in team order) 1 Offense Level Up next turn per Launcher (2 for Jia Family members), and on the turn she steps in from backup or returns, she gains Ready [待] and fires Crimson Strike - Launcher [始] at a random target at Combat Start, first in skill order.

How to Use

Pick opponents she can beat in Offense Level, and build Poise while inflicting Rupture with S1 and S2. Increase the target's negative effect types and Rupture before firing Crimson Spring to raise its Attack Weight and damage. On her own, she lacks Poise and Crimson Spring stalls, so fielding her together with Yi Sang's Heishou Pack - Wu Branch Adept to cover Poise and power is close to a requirement. In consecutive battles with backup units, she can also retreat with her Defense skill to hand out Offense Level Up, then strike again with Crimson Strike - Launcher on her return.
