★ INTRODUCTION ★

Today we will be looking at the mechanics of the newly added S-rank Battlesuit [Herrscher of Finality].

She is an IMG-type Fire Valkyrie who's role is that of the main DPS.

★ PLAYSTYLE & LINEUP ★

[Herrscher of Finality] is a fairly straightforward character to play.

This counts for both as a solo DPS and in the Trio Herrscher Team.

Her playstyle revolves around using Weapon Active and Basic ATK to stack up Descent and then casting Combo ATK.

Using Absolute Time Fracture when it is available to dish out the maximum amount of DMG and casting Ultimate.

For Solo DPS, the combinations you will mainly use (after using supports) will be:

HoFi QTE -> Active -> Basic -> Gun Combo -> Active -> Basic -> Sword Combo -> Absolute Time Fracture -> Basic -> Ultimate

For the Herrscher Trio Team it will be a bit more complicated because she will be switched in 2 times instead of just once

Here is one example of a rotation with this team:

HoTr Joint Burst -> HoFi QTE -> Active -> Gun Combo -> HoO QTE -> Active -> Basic -> Evasion -> Basic -> Combo -> Joint Burst -> HoFi QTE -> Active -> Sword Combo -> Absolute Time Fracture -> Basic until time runs out -> Ultimate

As seen in the Trio Team [Herrscher of Finality] can be switched in repeatedly in a short time span.

This is because the special Joint Burst from her Teammembers reduce the switch CD of [Herrscher of Finality] completely.

Note!

These are just some examples to get an idea how she can be played.

Boss Coverage

[Herrscher of Finality] is a strong Fire and IMG DPS so she can be used against a lot of different bosses.

These are just some expamples according to the Beta Bosses that were available.

Her actual coverage will most likely be much larger than this, especially if paired with [Herrscher of Origin] and [Herrscher of Truth].

★ GAMEPLAY ★

★ TEST RUNS ★

Chrono Navi Team

- Rotations -

With HoTr signature Weapon or Markov Type A

HoTr Active -> Ai-chan QTE -> Active -> Ultimate -> HoTr Tap Ult [Mecha] -> Ultimate -> HoFi QTE -> Active -> Basic Attack until can use Combo -> Active -> Basic Attack until can use Combo -> Hold Evade -> Active -> Basic ATK until Mode ends -> Ultimate

Time: 26s.

Without HoTr Weapon (She cannot trigger Ai-chan QTE)

HoTr Active -> Ai-chan Active -> Basic ATK 5x -> Charged -> Active -> Ultimate -> HoTr QTE -> Ult Tap [Mecha] -> Ultimate -> HoFi QTE -> Active -> Basic Attack until can use Combo -> Active -> Basic Attack until can use Combo -> Hold Evade -> Active -> Basic ATK until Mode ends -> Ultimate

Time: 31s.

- Results -

Note!

Although the Team with budget HoTr and fill gear Ai-chan deals slightly more DMG it is important to note that the performance will suffer a lot wihtout HoTr weapon!

So I would still prefer HoTr gear over Ai-chan!

Herrscher Trio Team

- Rotations -

With signature Weapons

Team Herrscher Trio:

HoTr Active -> Tap Ult [Mecha] -> Ultimate -> HoFi QTE -> Active -> Combo -> HoO QTE -> Active -> Basic ATK -> Evade -> Basic ATK -> Combo -> Ultimate -> HoFi QTE -> Active -> Combo -> Hold Evade -> Active -> Basic ATK until Mode ends -> Ultimate

Time: 22s.

Note!

This time I will not write down all rotations that were done because there are just too many since all the signature weapons provide different rotation advantages and special features.

Here are just some notes regarding no signature Weapon Rotations:

• HoFi can only cast Weapon Active in mid-air with her own Weapon (3x) and HoF signature (1x)

• HoFi has to charge her Descent manually by using Basic ATK

• HoTr has to charge up Mecha Weapons manually by using Basic ATK

• HoO cannot use her first (written as Basic ATK after Active) and last special Combo ATK

- Results -

Short Analysis

✧ HoTr no weapon lacks performance and SP, but DMG is still high, could be a problem during longer fights

✧ HoO and HoFi without Weapon is a massive DMG loss for the Team

✧ HoTr no stigs has the biggest DMG loss compared to HoFi/HoO no stigs

According to these Tests, in terms of pure DMG, the priorities to Weapon and Stigmata is as follows:

Weapon

HoFi > HoO > HoTr

Stigmata

HoTr > HoFi > HoO

★ CONCLUSION ★

Is it worth to get [Herrscher of Finality]?

Yes absolutely!

If certain requirements can be fulfilled...

She is a very strong Valkyrie with a wide coverage against many Bosses not just in Abyss but also Memorial Arena.

If you are lacking a Fire and/or IMG DPS she is the go to Valkyrie.

However keep in mind some things before considering to get her:

• Weapon is a requirement!

-> if you can't afford it don't pull for the Valk

• [Herrscher of Truth] is a must-have support for her!

-> If you don't have her and don't plan to get her, don't invest into [Herrscher of Finality]

-> If you want to get [Herrscher of Truth] then she should be the priority

Advice!

Maybe invest into [Herrscher of Origin] Equipment first, since she'll have a special refund Banner in v6.4

[Herrscher of Finality] is very strong but she should be the last member to get from the Trio Team since [Herrscher of Origin] is free, has a special Banner and can beat IMG Bosses very well herself, she can be used instead.

[Herrscher of Truth] is and always will be the most important piece to this Team and also Solo Teams of the other two!

[Herrscher of Truth] >>> [Herrscher of Origin] > [Herrscher of Finality]

That's it~

Thanks to every captain who will read my guide and I hope it will be useful to you!

As always I wish everyone lots of fun in Honkai and may Ai-Chan bless you with luck in the gacha!
