✦ EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW

Chrono Navi’s signature chakram - Rudder PRI-ARM. It provides a total of

- 12% Team Total DMG

- 15% Fire Vulnerability

- 12% Self Total DMG and 35% Self Fire DMG

- And some damage over time.

Should be her best weapon for all cases. Must-have for competitive players, but not mandatory for casuals.

Chrono Navi’s stigma set has high team buff and self buff.

- It has a unique utility on mid piece: Ignite trauma charge +25%.

- This stigma NEEDS FULL SET because of the strong debuff: 35% Fire Vulnerability is only available on the 3-PC set. Any 2pc combination will have a big gap between 3pc, and will just be on par with TurgenevTB, which we will see in DPS test later.

✦ ABOUT CHRONO NAVI

Things to know about Chrono Navi

- Playstyle is QTE > Charged ATK (auto-cast) > Chakram counter 3 times (summons Aimer Cutter) > Ultimate (Upgrades Aimer Cutter to Aimer Domain)

- Aimer chakram can trigger stigma effects like Turgenev, Newton B, Mei M, Gluttony, etc

- Ultimate can apply Aslaug’s Feathered debuff but Aimer chakram does not count as Ultimate attack, so Chrono Navi cannot refresh Aslaug’s Feathered debuff, which means it will only last for 8s.

- Aimer deals dmg to anything in its area, no matter how high the mob is floating. Basically no height limit.

- When countering chakram, you can press Basic ATK, Evade or Weapon skill ****on. But you NEED TO PRESS WEAPON SKILL ****ON TO ACTIVATE WEAPON SKILL EFFECTS (like Rudder buff, Ai stigma stacks, Avogadro, etc). Countering chakrams by pressing Basic ATK or Evade ****ons does not count as a weapon skill.

✦ STIGMA TEST

SET UP

- As usual, the test is done in beta stage against a typeless mob.

- Emblem used is Paimon (for gather), activated Fire divine key buff, stigma affix at full 46 atk for all stigma for all three valks. No elf used. CN weapon is Lv 65 Rudder PRI-ARM. These factors stay constant during the test.

- Team and rotation used:

RESULT ANALYSIS

As I mentioned in the Equipment Overview section, Ai-chan stigma wants full set since the important debuff - 35% Fire Vulnerability - is in 3pc set.

- There is a big gap between Ai set and Ai TB. For new players, 10% dmg difference is a lot, and it makes or breaks a run. For example, if Ai TB Mei M wants to copy another run using full Ai set, you will probably need one or more rotations.

- TurgenevTB is really good. On par with Ai TB (assuming the same mid combination). Turg op.

Check out its performance in real battle vs Benares, after this section.

Although Aslaug debuff cannot be refreshed, it is not completely unusable.

- From the result, in full rotation, Aslaug set is around the same league as Ai TM, however

- In small rotation, Aslaug damage is lower compared to other stigmas, since you don’t use Ultimate, hence the debuff is not activated.

- I will try Aslaug in actual battle vs Ignite Benares after this

RESULT ANALYSIS

Purana is good enough

- For Redlotus players, Purana PRI + Turgenev TB should be more than enough. Purana has 12% Team Total DMG bonus.

- If you have full Ai set, Purana + Ai set is kinda close to Rudder + Ai set. However, if you pull full Ai set, you will very very likely get Rudder too.

- We’ll try Purana and Rudder in real battle vs Ignite Benares after this.

Conviction PRI and Gilded: Just decent
