FIRE SUPPORT (STIGMATA)

[Herrscher of Flamescion]’s ATK

• S1 = 522 ATK
• Divine Key sync = 124 ATK
• Dorm Squad = 85 ATK
• Affix = 92 ATK (total from 3 pieces)
• Total = 1449 ATK

All equipment are at max

No Emblem, no ELF

Divine Key active = 1.6 SP

Chrono Navi affix = 46 ATK

Herrscher of Truth affix = 46 ATK

90 initial SP

Single piece Zaychik is bad for support.

• Zaychik (T): Must use Zaychik-B too to activate Zaychik-T's support effect.
• Zaychik (M): No support effect.
• Zaychik (B): Decent team buff, but Cezanne-B is much better.

Zaychik-2pc greatly improves Zaychik-B effect. Adding Total DMG debuff and making her teammate able to refresh Zaychik-B duration. The icon also different. Without improvement from 2pc effect, the icon is blue. With improvement from 2pc effect, the icon becomes green-yellow.

Although standalone Zaychik-B is relatively weak. Zaychik-B is important for her set. If there is no Zaychik-B, what effect does Zaychik-2pc improve? Nothing~

So, Zaychik’s important effects are in B-piece AND 2-pc effect. That means, Zaychik-TB or Zaychik-MB. Meanwhile, Zaychik-TM (without B) provides 0 support effect.

In terms of stigmata options as fire support, [Herrscher of Truth] is not as friendly as [Chrono Navi]. Jin-TM, Mei-M, Newton-B don’t work well on [Herrscher of Truth]. Also, she can’t refresh Aslaug-B duration from off-field.

The “good” alternative stigmata for her are Turgenev-TB, Aslaug-M, and Cezanne-B.

If you don’t have Aslaug-M, you can use Mei-M, Avogadro-M, or Musician-M.

For Cezanne-B, the gameplay is a bit different, keep an eye on Cezanne-B timing. Also if you want to use Cezanne-B, the current TM options are not optimal. For [Herrscher of Truth], at least in V6.3, Turgenev-TB is still better than [any-TM + Cezanne-B].

When supporting Herrscher of Finality, Herrscher of Truth’s stigma test result maybe different from this test since Herrscher of Finality has long time stop.

FIRE SUPPORT (WEAPON)

[Chrono Navi]’s and [Herrscher of Truth]’s best alternative stigmata is Turgenev-TB. But we can’t use Turgenev-TB on both Valks in the same team. If you don’t have [Chrono Navi]’s signature equipment and you want to get [Herrscher of Truth], you must get [Herrscher of Truth]’s equipment, at least her weapon and Zaychik-TB.

[0/4 Chrono Navi + 0/4 S0 Truth] is not better than [0/4 Chrono Navi + 4/4 S3 Azure Empyrea]

*0/4 = using alternative weapon + alternative TMB

Back to weapon test~

This weapon test is kinda unfair because [Crvsher Bunny] starts with manual evasion skill (waiting enemy’s attack) while [Domain of Ascension] starts with weapon active, no need to wait enemy’s attack. So the battle duration gap between [Domain of Ascension] and [Crvsher Bunny] could vary in real battle, different from the gap in this test.

For [Herrscher of Truth] as fire support, the team DMG gap between [Domain of Ascension] (100%) and [Crvsher Bunny] (92.86%) is already big even if we ignore SP regen.

Domain of Ascension (including Key of Ascension) makes her rotation faster and indirectly improves Team SP regen.

With that weapon, [Herrscher of Truth] can unlock her “hover weapons” faster. The more “hover weapons” unlocked (up to 3), the more SP the team can get.

Herrscher of Truth's “hover weapons”

In this test, I tried to keep [Crvsher Bunny]’s battle duration close to [Domain of Ascension]’s battle duration.

• The test using [Crvsher Bunny] can only unlock 2 hover-weapons per cycle.
• The test using [Domain of Ascension] can unlock 3 hover-weapons per cycle, more SP for team.

[Crvsher+Turg] can skip weapon active. But if [Herrscher of Truth] uses Zaychik-B, she must use weapon active. Rotation is still fast if using signature weapon’s active. But if using non-signature weapon’s active, rotation will be longer.

In this test, [Crvsher+Zaychik] has 2.1s longer battle duration than [Crvsher+Turg]. But in real battle, the gap can be smaller if we use weapon active first before Combo ATK (couldn’t do that in this test). Overall, with high DMG gap between stigmata [Zaychik-TMB] and stigmata [Turg-TB Aslaug-M], [Crvsher+Zaychik] is still better than [Crvsher+Turg].

LIGHTNING SUPPORT

[Herrscher of Thunder]’s ATK

• SS = 584 ATK
• Divine Key sync = 124 ATK
• Dorm Squad = 85 ATK
• Affix = 92 ATK (total from 3 pieces)
• Total = 1513 ATK

All equipment are at max

No Emblem, no ELF

Divine Key active = 1.6 SP

Golden Diva affix = 46 ATK

Herrscher of Truth affix = 46 ATK

90 initial SP

Sometimes, Eden PRI can mess Mei Beach Party (M) timing. In this test, Tesla-M and Avo-M are better, so I don’t include Mei-M for the data above. Personally, I also prefer Tesla-M than Mei-M on [Golden Diva]. The rotation is very human, very easy to use. But you can still try Mei-M on [Golden Diva], maybe you can get higher score by using Mei-M than using Tesla-M?

In abyss, S0 full gear [Herrscher of Truth] only slightly better than full gear [Prinzessin der Verurteilung!]. So as lightning support, I only use Zaychik set and her best alternative, Turgenev-TB.

In this test, on [Golden Diva], Turgenev is better than Margrave. But if [Golden Diva] uses Turgenev, [Herrscher of Truth] can’t use Turgenev. Means, if [Herrscher of Truth] doesn’t use Zaychik set in lightning team, she has almost 0% chance to beat full gear [Prinzessin der Verurteilung!].

Now about [Herrscher of Truth]’s weapon as lightning support.

In lightning team, in terms of team DMG per cycle (ignoring SP regen), [Crvsher Bunny] is very close to [Domain of Ascension]. But [Domain of Ascension] provides a lot more team SP. The rotation is also easier and faster. In short, [Domain of Ascension] is still important weapon for [Herrscher of Truth] as lightning support.
