Disclaimer

This guide is meant to be for reference only.

It is not a bible or a definitive guide, since some of the new mechanics of the game have yet to be unravelled and a lot of testing is required to find the optimal builds & teams. The translation of a lot of mechanics is also not accurate, so we won’t know how things actually work till we test them out. Please use this as a way to try out new teams and playstyles rather than a manual for how the game should be played.

This game is somewhat skill based, so some builds might work better for your playstyle than others. There will also be times where it might be worth tweaking your builds for specific endgame stages, so please keep that in mind.

Team building is very dependent on your roster and the recommendations listed in this guide are only suggestions for experimentation as opposed to optimal team recommendations from extensive testing. Team recommendations might also be outdated, so just use them as reference for ideas.

Navigator, Mizuho and Usha are available in Underground Purge shop.

4* weapons can be bought from shop for 300k silverbucks. The featured 4* weapon refreshes daily, so make sure to always keep 300k available if you really need the weapon. Compatible 3* weapons, max modified to Tier 5 with dupes, will often be more effective than an incompatible 4* weapon. Strawberry Shortcake and Prismatic Igniter are high value 4* weapons which are worth purchasing from the shop if needed.

Certain weapons might not be available after the event, they were introduced in, has ended.

Some weapons are only available from boxes, so choose carefully when you get a 4* weapon box.

The substats column shows the optimal logistic substats for that specific build, it’s not a priority list.

For theotropic clusters, 1 is top left and 2 is top right. All the clusters have numbers when you click on them to upgrade.

Character Builds

Acacia - Kaguya

⁠

Tier: SSS+

She has one of the best AOE clears in the game with her standard skill which does a lot of frost damage and, with the 2nd cluster unlocked, can freeze multiple enemies at the same time. Her ultimate and support skill can pull enemies which makes her incredible for utility, especially with stages with tanky mobs or multiple elite enemies. She is a good general support with her 5* weapon, Pine Aurora, as it buffs the damage taken by the target by 15% when you use her support skill. Unlocking her neuronics is the highest priority, since that’s where most of her strength lies. With the introduction of Amarna Squad, she is now a universal support that can fit in any team and a must pull if you want to rank high in Neural Simulation.

Manifestations

M2 is the only big change for the support build, her resistance shred makes her invaluable for team building especially if combined with Pine Aurora’s 15% damage buff. Aside from that, her manifestations do not have a big impact so they’re not a high priority. You can prioritize farming shards of other characters instead.

Chenxing - Ethereal Cloud

⁠

Tier: SSS

Ethereal Cloud is mainly good at AOE DPS for mobbing and for bosses with multiple parts, but suffers when bosses don’t have any parts. Her support skill is decent for paralyzing enemies and recovering some U-energy, but not as good as Wednesday’s paralyze duration. Her ultimate is good for resetting duration of slips, but doesn’t deal enough damage to make a build around it. Most of her damage comes from increasing ballistic damage since that’s what the slip detonation damage is scaled off of.

⁠

Manifestations

M3 is a good stopping point if you want to farm her shards, but she does her job well without any manifestations.

Builds

Electrical ADS Ballistic Damage DPS

Max out ADS ballistic damage for max slip detonation damage.

Weapons:

1) 5* Anti-Evil Ward 2) 4* Wild Leer 3) T5 3* Ender

Cherno - Enigma

⁠

Tier: SSS+

Enigma is a top tier DPS with very high burst damage from her detonation skill, decent AOE mobbing capabilities with void orbs and a strong support skill. She has a pretty fun rotation with building her Enmity stacks and detonating them. With her signature 5* weapon, she dishes out a lot of damage and she has a lot of flexibility for support choices as well. She’s a great pick overall for all players.

⁠

Manifestations

M2.

Builds

Chaos Skill Damage DPS

Detonate Enmity stacks optimally for big numbers.

Shoot enemies, create void orbs with standard skill or ultimate to build Enmity stacks. Hold standard skill down to detonate stacks.

Weapons:

1) 5* Uninvited Adieu (Highly recommended) 2) T5 4* Halo of Hope 3) T5 3* Tension Headache (You can use 5* 100 Battle Veteran instead of Halo, but I recommend Halo more because the rotation will be smoother)

Logistics:

Dziadzy

Optimal Substats:

1) ATK: 10% (Priority) 2) Alignment Index: 106 3) Chaos DMG: 8.5%

Neuronics:

1,2,5,6,3,4 (Unlock all)

Neuronics:

3,4,5,6,1,2 (Unlock all)

Eatchel - The Cub

⁠

Tier: SS

The best healer in a game where healing doesn’t matter. However, she does give a really good buff with her signature weapon at M1, which makes her useful, but not even close to as good as Kaguya or Shadow Ka. She’s alright.

Manifestations

M1 at least.
