Let's dive in~

★ INTRODUCTION ★

With the 6.1 update, a new stigmata set will be added, the Leisurely Sipping stigma set, [Willows].

In this guide I will explain the set and compare it to other stigmata options and talk about its usefulness on other Valkyries.

This stigmata set is the new Ice G4 Stigmata, which especially improves [Herrscher of Reason].

★ HOW TO OBTAIN ★

◆ After the v6.1 update you can get the set through the Supply banner of the newly added Divine Key.

There is no guarantee for the stigmata set but a wishing well will be present.

The stigmata set can be crafted in the Foundry (G4 Ice) as well.

Transмute only!

To process the new G4 Ice set, you will need Pure Blue Crystalyte, available in the new 7th floor of the Glacial Fences.

There will be many mech-type enemies and at the end Saha Assaka no type.

NOTE!

As seen in the test results [Willows] is an excellent and versatile stigmata set which is even almost as good as the signature set of [Silverwing: N-EX].

You want one set for all your Ice DPS?

[Willows] will solve all your problems!

★ GAMEPLAY ★

★ CONCLUSION ★

Is it worth to grind for this set?

Yes definitely!

It is a big improvement to [Ana Shariac] with way more uses since it is not limited to close range combat.

Yes it has some drawbacks of having to consume 100 SP, use charged ATKs and enter burst mode but it is still the best or second best choice for most Ice DPS Valks, even if they cannot benefit from every buff.

Since most captains have [Ana Shariac] already it is not too huge of an investment to upgrade to G4.

It is designed to be the best stigmata set for [Herrscher of Reason] and a huge improvement to her performance, together with her new Divine Key.

Similar to [Handel] it is one set for many Valkyries, which makes it worth to craft.

Should I prioritize [Willows], [Handel] or [Elysia] as a G4?

Depends on your teams

For now I would say the Ice G4 is the least important out of the 3 sets.

You can get good results with the G3 [Ana Shariac], except if you are using ranged Valkyries.

The improvements of the other 2 from their G3 to G4 are much more significant.

I'd recommend [Handel] -> [Elysia]/[Willows]

The last choice being influenced by your current teams.

That's it~
