Elysian Realm Guide - Sixth Serenade
This guide will look at Sixth Serenade, also known as 6S, and how she plays in the Elysian Realm. I'll recommend some signets that work with her, playstyle, sigils and support valkyries. This guide focuses on the Elysian Realm, and so may not apply to other game modes.
Gear:
Tranquil Rhapsody (PRI) is the best one to use, it has good buffs, a good weapon skill, and increases damage after using the Ult, which this build does a lot. Tranquil Arias is also decent, but they're also quite different, with less buffs and no weapon skill.
Since Tranquil Rhapsody isn't used much in any other game mode, I can't quite recommend forging it, but if you already have it or have some extra materials (how?) then go ahead.
Other options are high attack weapons or maybe a good elemental support weapon like Echo of Paradise?
Stigmata is the standard ice stigmata, Ana Shariac, or Nohime for budget. Li Sushang, Bastet and Bronya: N-EX also look like they would work well.

Basic Summary
6S is a psy-type ice damage dealer, who is great at dealing with mobs of enemies with her combo attacks and Ult. In the realm, she can gain stacks of Graduation, which buffs combo attacks.
Moves:
Nachtsicht -- The bar above HP, allows combo attacks to be used. Every section is 300 Nachtsicht, and the normal maximum is 600.
Raven form -- Entered after using the Ult, base duration is 12s. Shown by the presence of the Raven Cross on field.
Special Adjustments
Every character has certain special adjustments in Elysian Realm to make it both easier for newer players to use them and to allow them to fight solo in the realm.
Sixth Serenade's Special Adjustments are:
- Valkyrie stats and skill level are adjusted to Lv. 80 equivalent
This is the same for all Elysian Realm valkyries, to put them on a level playing field.
- Removes the immobilization from Ultimate and the delayed death effect from 3 stacks of Raven Marks
Outside the realm, 6S stuns enemies in the ult AoE while it's being cast, and enemies marked with 3 raven marks take a few extra seconds to die. Since the realm relies on killing enemies quickly, like to get bonus signets and bosses, this is a good change.
- Basic ATK restores 200% more Nachtsicht
- Combo ATK deals an additional 500% ATK of Ice DMG
Some small DPS bonuses.
- After obtaining the exclusive signet, meet conditions to gain Graduation stacks, whose number will enhance Combo ATK accordingly:
- 1 Stack - Small feather storms are created along the path of Combo ATK, dealing 6x400% ATK of Ice DMG, and briefly pulling in nearby enemies.
- 2 Stacks - Enhanced feather storms are created along the path of Combo ATK, dealing 10x300% ATK of Ice DMG, pulling in nearby enemies over a larger radius.
There are 2 exclusive signets that give Graduation stacks, shown in the next section. One method of gaining stacks is from [Finale], being in Raven mode, which is activated after using the Ult. The other method is from [Nocturnal Tides], from doing consecutive combo attacks.
The maximum amount of stacks is 2, and the buff to combo attacks is essentially more hits/damage and gather. Another exclusive signet, [Expiation], also interacts with Graduation stacks, draining more HP (helpful for Kalpas) and giving total DMG reduction.
Exclusive Signets
6S's exclusive signets are focused mainly around the Realm exclusive mechanic, Graduation stacks. Aside from that, they deal with combo attacks and the Ult.
Blessing of Expiation
Blessing of Finale
Blessing of Nocturnal Tides
Blessing of Raven Eye
Blessing of Tragedy
Recommended Signets
(These recommendations are just what I personally found fun, feel free to experiment and put your own recommendations in the comments below!)
- Exclusive Signets -
Most important:
Blessing of Nocturnal Tides
This double the Nachtsicht cap, which makes it much easier to chain combo attacks. It also gives buffs for chaining combo attacks, which will be the core damage dealers of the run.
Second choice:
Blessing of Tragedy > Blessing of Finale
In the 6.3 cycle, any valkyrie can take 2 Elysia signets at the start, not just Flame-Chasers. Thus, you can take [Tragedy] together with [Nocturnal Tides] at the start.
[Tragedy] helps further chain combo attacks in Raven form by increasing Nachtsicht regen. It also extends the Ult duration and lowers Ult CD, which helps keep it active 100% of the time.
[Finale] further helps damage and gives another stack of Graduation, further helping the build.
Last choice:
Blessing of Raven Eye or Blessing of Expiation
These aren't super necessary but they can open up other signet options. Which one you take depends on preference.
[Raven Eye] opens up Kevin's signets, as it adds a large amount of damage right after using the Ult.
[Expiation] opens up Kalpas' signets, as they keep you at low HP and also provide healing for Bloodboil stacks.
- Flame Chaser Signets -
Eden (2nd Core)
6S' Ult costs 125SP, and it'll be used very frequently, so Eden's 2nd core works well. The starting SP signet is probably the best one just to get a faster start, once you use the Ult the first time, SP regen isn't much of a problem. Other signets that work with 6S are more general signets, so you might as well go for Eden's enhanced signets too.
Aponia (2nd Core)
Aponia's signets are more general, and can be switched out for other Flame-Chasers. Aponia's are probably the best due to the strong enhanced signets of the 2nd core though. If you take [Raven Eye] or [Expiation], you may want to consider Kevin's or Kalpas' signets instead.
Other
Su (2nd)
6S has pretty fast combo hits, but will still need some combo hit signets to help.
Hua (2nd)
6S is pretty invincible during her combo attacks, which makes Hua a good choice.
Kevin (1st)
Best if taken with [Raven Eye], but the frequent Ults means they can work even without it.
Kalpas (2nd)
Best if taken with [Expiation], but Kalpas is also just a good general set, so it could work either way.
Kosma (2nd)
Best if taken with Kalpas' signets, has good enhanced signets.
Felis (either)
If you don't know which to choose, take Felis' signets and buy all of them :)
- Playstyle -
Do whatever (LE support, weapon skills, etc) until you have 125SP to use the Ult
Use the Ult and non-stop combo attack
Once the Ult is ready again, repeat
- Support Valkyries -
LE in the early game for faster starts
Azure Empyrea for Elemental support
I recommend bringing BKE against Heimdall
You can switch LE to Haxxor/Felis once you have enough starting SP
- Remembrance Sigils -
General: Start with Eden's [Golden Goblet], switch as needed and end with Aponia's [Proof of Good and Evil]
Support: Start with Elysia's [Because of You] and switch to Eden's [Dreamful Gold].
In 6.3 since you get 2 Elysia signets at the start, you might even want to skip Elysia's sigil and just start with Eden's for the extra signet level.
6S is so fun to play, I joined back when she was first released and I'm so glad I have a reason to use her again :)
Also her Hanami Daimyo outfit is one of the best outfits,, so pretty
