Introduction

HI3 v6.1 introduces the new set of stigmata names Willows. This is the latest in the line of G4 stigmata and they provide ice damage bonus. This set is primarily aimed towards Herrscher of Reason (will be referred to as HoR in the article) but since it is a generic ice damage set all ice valkyries can use it well to a certain degree. Further sections go into more details of this set.

Acquisition methods

Shiksal Arsenal Supply : The Shiksal Arsenal Supply banner will be available after update 6.1 hits. Captains can use their crystals and focused supply cards to get the stigmata from this banner. Willows is the uprate stigmata in this banner along with Star of Eden weapon

Forging : Captains can Forge this stigmata set. Each piece of this stigmata costs 200 Spatial Convectron, 1100 Ether Fuel along with a corresponding Ana Shariac (G3 stigmata) piece and 140 G4 Mats.

G4 Mats are added in the new mirage stages. The material drops from these stages are as shown in the pic below

Stigmata Comparison

In this section I'll go over valkyries that can use Willows Set and how it compares with other sets available in game.

The above image shows all the stigmata that I will be using to test the damage output of the set in dps test stage of Beta.

Test will be done with HoR and Herrscher of Human: Ego (HoH)

For sake of equalizing stigmata stats, all the sets that are used in test runs have the same affix values with same support gear. Rotation is as shown in the video below. Values have been averaged over multiple runs and captains should take these values as estimation.

Actual values may differ based on rotation and boss mechanics.

As captains can see form this willows is by far the best set on HoR by a reasonable margin

Authors Impressions

Based on the data provided above Willows stigmata set, the new G4 Set is really good on HoR. It is recommended that captains try to farm this full set in the long run. The bonuses on this set are generic and all ice valkyries in game can use this set. An example in this guide is HoH. This set forms the next best set, in case captains miss the signature set of HoH that is Elysia Pristine.

Farm Priority : B > M = T

Willows B is the most important piece of the set and can be used with other sets. But since it is farmable just focus on completing at least 1 set of this stigmata.
