Recommended Ascension Effect for Jiuyuan
Intel Turns Into Blades or Strike to Kill Recommended
For the first slot, we recommend Intel Turns Into Blades, which doubles Pact Settlement damage and adds team healing, or Strike to Kill, which makes active Pact Settlement an AoE and boosts its DPS. Either one sharpens both usability and damage output.
More Ascension Slots Combine Annihilation and Support
Adding more Awakening slots lets you equip Advantage Established for extra Break power on top of the DPS and healing skills above. He transforms into an all-rounder who handles single-target DPS, AoE wipe, healing, and Break duties on his own.
