Rotation
Rotation (S0–S2 Standard Hybrid)
1. Intro → Basic: Inkwash 3 → Basic: Inkwash 4 → Ultimate 2. Heavy: To Teach → Heavy: To Save → Heavy: To Sacrifice → Skill (Swap) → Outro
- Cast Echo immediately to trigger Inherent Skill ATK buff (10%) as quickly as possible
Sequence priority
Sequences
- S1: +20% CRIT Rate + To Teach/Save/Sacrifice immune to interruption — crucial for rotation safety; highly recommended
- S2: Bamboo's Shade grants +30% Echo Skill DMG Amplification (total 60%) — excellent team buff
- S3: Unlocks DPS rotation with new Skill refunding 400 Forte; Liberation multiplier +500% — transformative
- S4: +20% ATK passively — straightforward personal stat boost
- S5: 15% DEF Ignore permanently — solid
- S6: To Sacrifice stagnates enemies 5s; +600% Echo Skill DMG to all on Inksplash end; Straw Cape gives +100% CRIT DMG for 6s — massive DPS spike
- Verdict: S1 is important (prevents interruption during Forte Heavies); S2 strong for team; S3 enables DPS
Notes
Notes
- Outro: 50% Echo Skill DMG Amplification to next character for 14s (expires on swap) — ideal for Galbrena who uses Echo Skills heavily
- Ultimate gives up to 30% CRIT DMG buff to active resonator if Qiuyuan at 65%+ CRIT Rate — scales with CRIT Rate over-cap
- Bamboo's Shade (400 Forte): 30% Echo Skill DMG Bonus to active character for 30s — long duration team buff
- Forte Heavies can be interrupted at S0 — major rotation risk; S1 immunity highly recommended
- Signature weapon not required — Emerald of Genesis performs very close at much lower cost
- Niche is narrow: best in Phrolova and Galbrena/Sigrika teams; weak as generalist buffer outside Echo Skill teams
