Lacrimosa - How To Play & Rotations
Basic Combat Strategy
- A Chaos Attacker capable of handling both close and long range
- Rack up damage by continuously applying "Nightmare"
- Copy enemy skills to unleash powerful attacks
A Chaos Attacker Capable of Handling Both Close and Long Range
Through "Flavor Variation," Lacrimosa is a Chaos main Attacker who fights by toggling between close-range and long-range attack modes. Since there is little performance difference between the two modes, switch between them flexibly based on your distance from the enemy and the situation. The way her Ultimate attacks also changes depending on the mode.
Rack Up Damage by Continuously Applying "Nightmare"
By landing attacks, Lacrimosa can apply the
Copy Enemy Skills to Unleash Powerful Attacks
When you attack an enemy with "Devilish Inspiration," you can learn that enemy's combat technique. The learned skill is stored in the "Redirect Skill: Devilish Gift" slot, letting you create a copy of the same monster and have it perform powerful attacks.
Lacrimosa's Copying Guide and Recommended AbilitiesLacrimosa Best Team Composition
Discord Team
A team that uses Lacrimosa as the main to aim for triggering Discord. Since Daffodill is also included, the Discord enhancements stack, and if you can trigger it, you can deal massive damage. As Lacrimosa's Ascensions progress, Discord becomes easy to trigger.

| Cast the Ultimate with Daffodill, apply | |
| Fight with Sakiri, and once the Cycle is built up, switch to Lacrimosa after applying buffs | |
| Use the Cycle built up on Lacrimosa and switch to Fadia to trigger Discord | |

Best Console for Lacrimosa
Recommended Console for Lacrimosa: Diabolos
| Cartridge | Effect |
|---|---|
| Diabolos | Epic: Chaos DMG +10% Legendary: Ignores 12% of enemy Chaos RES. After the wearer triggers a Nova or Scorch reaction, the ignore effect increases to 24% for 20s. |
*▲ Epic: 2-Set Effect, Legendary: 4-Set Effect
The recommended Gear for Lacrimosa is Diabolos. It boosts Chaos DMG while letting you ignore up to 24% of the enemy's Chaos RES by triggering an Esper Cycle. It pairs well with her because it raises Lacrimosa's overall damage output.
Raising Cycle Intensity Is Also Recommended

Recommended Ascension Effect for Lacrimosa
For Damage Priority, Go with Tempered Glass Judgment
Tempered Glass Judgment reduces the enemy's max HP each time it gains a "Nightmare" from them. Lacrimosa, who spends long stretches attacking as the main DPS, can apply Nightmares relentlessly, letting you chip away at enemy HP at a steady pace.
For Playstyle Priority, Go with Morning Spell
When unlocked, "Morning Spell" produces an effect similar to Instant Cycle. It makes Esper Cycle easier and lets you readily trigger the hard-to-set-up Discord, plus it extends how long you can fight with Lacrimosa as your main, making it the top-priority effect to acquire.
Unlocking It Requires Clearing a Spinoff
"Morning Spell" cannot be unlocked from the start. You can meet the unlock conditions by progressing through the Tomato Jelly Rampage spinoff.

| Awakening | Effect |
|---|---|
| Clock Out Clemency | [Recommendation] ★★・ The DMG Ratio of Nightmare increases, rising to 8% at the current skill level. |
| Rise and Shine | [Recommendation] ★・・ Increases Lacrimosa's damage dealt by 15% for 15s when she switches in using a Support Skill. |
| Molten Ice Cream | [Recommendation] ★★・ Triggers all accumulated Nightmare effects on the target at once when the 5th hit of Tomato Metal or Tomato Percussion lands. |
| Almighty Lord of Tomatoes | [Recommendation] ★★・ Extends Nightmare duration to 6s. |
| Tempered Glass Judgement | [Recommendation] ★★★ When Lacrimosa deals Nightmare DMG, she additionally reduces the target's Max HP. The reduction amount is 200% of the Nightmare DMG dealt. Every 3 seconds, Lacrimosa restores her own HP based on the Nightmare DMG she dealt during that period. The healing amount is 1.5% of the total Nightmare DMG during that period. Even when the target receives a healing effect, the Nightmare stacks no longer decrease. |
| Morning Spell | [Recommendation] ★★★ If you switch to Lacrimosa from a character capable of triggering the Nova, Scorch, or Discord Esper Cycle within 5 seconds after she activates Redirect Skill: Devilish Gift, the Support Skill activates immediately without accumulating Cycle Rate, and the corresponding cycle occurs. This effect can only activate once every 5 seconds. |

|---|---|
| The Heart's Drowsy Flames (A3) | Skill level +1 for Basic Attack: Sweet and Sour, Redirect Skill: Morning Tomato, Redirect Skill: Devilish Gift, and Ultimate: Working Day Judgement. When flying in Bat Form, Stamina Cost -85%. |

Lacrimosa Life Skill & Exploration
Higher Menu Prices and Reduced Ingredient Use
Lacrimosa has Life Skills related to management. The more Dessert tags there are, the higher menu prices climb, and ingredient consumption is also reduced, so her strength is earning Fons efficiently with fewer resources.
Café Management Guide | The Cafe by OrigenSpecial Tomato Juice Unlocked with Owner's SP
With the Owner's Selection, "Special Tomato Juice" is added to the menu. Special Tomato Juice has a short serving process and is priced high at 75, so it helps with clearing the Owner's Selection.
How to Play the Café Minigame | Owner's SelectionHold Dodge to Fly
When out of combat, holding Dodge transforms Lacrimosa into a bat and lets her fly through the air while consuming Stamina. You can move across terrain such as elevation gaps without wall-running, which is helpful for exploration.
Switching to Baicang Enables a Super Jump
If you have unlocked Baicang's Support Skill "Moderate Working," you can use a Super Jump by switching from Lacrimosa to Baicang while flying. When heading to high places, the Super Jump means you do not have to fly all the way up to the top, as you can jump mid-flight, making it more convenient.
Dodging the Pink Paws Heist Laser
Using Lacrimosa's flight in the Pink Paws Heist lets you dodge the lasers that deal damage when hit.
More Fons Earned in the Pink Paws Heist
When you unlock Lacrimosa's Life Skills and add her to your team, the amount of Fons and Paw-Paw Coins you earn in the Pink Paws Heist increases by up to 20%. This is a powerful effect that improves the efficiency of farming Fons and Paw-Paw Coins.
