Yserinde Pros and Strength

Yserinde's Character Overview

Excels in Piercing, DoT, and Buffs

Yserinde is a character who not only excels in Piercing DMG and DoTs, but is also capable of significantly increasing her own and her allies' durability, which is rare for a Seeker.

Note that utilizing Yserinde to her maximum potential can be difficult since playing her involves creating Items and fighting with the appropriate methods, however she becomes extremely powerful once mastered.

Can Strengthen Allies with Her Aura

With the Aura generated from her main Skill [Endless Web], she can also increase the DMG dealt by all allies. Since it also boosts Piercing/Damage Over Time effects, she can synergize with many characters. In addition to her high offensive capabilities, she is a character who can take on various roles, such as leaning towards support or playing offensively.

Utilizes Blood Plume Blades

Many Skill effects are activated by creating and utilizing Blood Plume Blades. Play Yserinde by thinking in advance about how to create blades, where to place them, which Skill effects to trigger, and which character to activate them with. Understanding her mechanics is the key to mastering her.

Basic Yserinde Gameplay

After generating a Blood Plume Blade, the basic strategy is to activate the effects of Blood Plume Blades one after another using the Move Again effect of the Passive [Royal Guard Escort], dealing damage to groups of enemies.

Boosts Survivability

Yserinde has a wealth of ways to increase her own and her allies' durability, with buffs like physical shields from [Armor of Ice - Extra], [Deflection] which reduces the next instance of damage taken by 50%, and Skills that instantly grant a damage reduction buff to all allies on the field. Since Yserinde can deal high-level damage while also increasing survivability, she can be expected to perform well across all types of content.

Enhancing Stats is Important

Because Yserinde has buffs and DoTs that reference stats, as well as effects where part of one stat is added to another, boosting each of her stats is important. Remember to raise the most important stat, P.ATK, along with many other stats to enhance the relevant effect.

Synergizes with Nydia and Union

Take note of Yserinde's synergy with characters like her sister Nydia, who also applies [Black Feather] to trigger skills, and characters from the Faction, who can trigger the additional effect of the [Endless Web] Aura to deal Damage Over Time every turn.

High Skill Ceiling

Yserinde is a character where techniques such as knowing when and where to create Blood Plume Blades and the timing for activating [Plume Rend] are important. If you understand Yserinde's mechanics and master her, you can effectively utilize her in various ways.

Star Level Up Priority & Recommended Stars for Yserinde

Aim to Reach 3★ → 4★ → 5★

As you increase Yserinde's Star Levels, her DEF and the percentage added to attack will increase. In addition, at 3-stars, she will recover 1 NRG when consuming Blood Plume Blade, and from 4-stars onward, the effect of the Endless Web Aura will be enhanced. This character is especially recommended if you want to strengthen a character who excels at Piercing DMG and DoT.

Priority Skills

Skill	Priority and Details
Royal Guard Escort	★★★★★ An excellent Passive that increases durability with Ice Armor and Deflection, while also allowing you to disengage or attack with its Move Again effect. The basic strategy is to generate many Blood Plume Blades and activate them with this skill.
Silent Wing	★★★★★ A Reaction that can significantly increase your durability with debuff removal and Armor of Ice - Extra. You should generally equip this.
Plume Rend	★★★★★ A Passive to prioritize when focusing on offense. Be mindful of activating it when you've placed a large number of Blood Plume Blades at once with [Endless Web], as it can deal significant damage to groups of enemies.
Surefire Attack	★★★★★ The [✗Dodge] debuff is useful in situations against enemy Seekers and more, so you should generally equip this Basic Attack.
Endless Web	★★★★★ Generates a large number of "Blood Plume Blades" at once and grants an Aura that strengthens allies. Although it cannot be used again while the Aura is active, it's a main skill that should be equipped with the highest priority.
Plume Array	★★★★ An excellent skill that can instantly grant a damage mitigation buff to allies. If you can also apply Deflection, it will greatly increase allies' durability, so equip it when focusing on defense in high-difficulty stages.

Skill	Priority and Details
Feather Storm	★★★ A user-friendly skill that can be used every turn as it has no NRG Cost or CD. Use this as your main skill at low levels.
Phantom Shift	★★★ A skill specializing in movement. There are many situations where swapping positions with enemies or allies can be advantageous, so equip it if you have a specific goal in mind.
Counterattack	★★★ In easier stages where durability isn't needed, or when focusing on offense, equipping this Reaction is also an option.
Invulnerable	★★ While it can significantly increase durability, "Deflection" and "Armor of Ice - Extra" are usually sufficient. It's an option to equip if Disruption is troublesome.
Hypnotic Attack	★★ The Sleep effect itself is powerful, but with a low 30% infliction chance, it's difficult to incorporate into your strategy. Generally, you should equip the other Basic Attack.
Black Feather Field	★ Deflection itself has an effect that greatly reduces damage taken, so only equip this if you absolutely need to reduce damage.
Perfect Shield	★ Since offense and defense are important, the synergy is good, but it's more effective to increase your action count with attack Skills, so its priority is low.
