★ INTRODUCTION ★

With the 6.1 update, the new weapons designated to [Jade Knight] got added.

[Nocturnal Stealth] and its PRI-ARM [Nocturnal Stealth: Beam]

In this guide, I will explain the weapons and compare them to other weapon options and talk about its usefulness on other Valkyries.

★ HOW TO OBTAIN ★

◆ After the v6.1 update you can obtain the weapon [Nocturnal Stealth] through Focused Supply.

Her set will be guaranteed in 200 pulls total (50 pulls per piece), weapon included.

!!!The first 10 pulls in this Supply are free!!!

You can get [Nocturnal Stealth: Beam] through the Foundry, like all PRI-ARM weapons. Once you have obtained the [Nocturnal Stealth], you can use it or other gauntlets at lvl 50 to craft the [Nocturnal Stealth: Beam].

★ WEAPON COMPARISON ★

The difference between the [Nocturnal Stealth] and its PRI-ARM [Nocturnal Stealth: Beam], is just +10% for the team, and more damage for Sushang.

Team used

- Rotations -

HoH charge -> JK QTE -> active -> Back Wind Slash -> ultimate -> RC ultimate -> yellow combo > HoH QTE -> active -> charge -> active -> ultimate: active -> basic -> charge -> active -> end ultimate. All x2.

Note!

For Duality weapons -> used 3 Bolt slash to trigger Back Wind Slash to recover more SP.

For others, no signature weapons -> used one Back Wind Slash before cast the fist ultimate, for the second do it 2 times. (not enough SP).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Results -

NOTE!

SP plays an important role for [Jade Knight], her rotation is short, but she has a big SP consumption, 150-175 SP, and if the team and her weapon don't charge enough SP, you will have to do combos that will slow down the rotations.

[Nocturnal Stealth: Beam] is the best weapon for [Jade Knight] and [Cosmic Duality] is her best alternative.

[Nocturnal Stealth: Beam] provides a good buff for the team, but its strength is the SP charge for [Jade Knight], which will give a better and faster rotation, without standing to farm SP to cast the ultimate.

It is recommended to get this weapon, but if you are unlucky and don't get it, the only valid alternative is [Cosmic Duality].

★ CONCLUSION ★

Is it worth to get this weapon?

Yes definitely!

[Jade Knight] will be a staple in Ice teams now and her weapon provides her with the necessary amount of SP to keep up her fast rotations and buffs from her ultimate.

Without this weapon the time lost in a battle will add up the longer the fight drags on.

As mentioned a good alternative is [Cosmic Duality].

Is this weapon good on other Valkyries?

Unfortunately not

The huge SP recovery that this weapon brings to the table is locked to only [Jade Knight], which means the only other elemental support gauntlet user [Azure Empyrea] would suffer heavily from the lack of SP, since her signature weapon provides that for her.

It might have some use on [Phoenix] as an Ice support since she is not reliant on SP but I didn't test that.
