★ INTRODUCTION ★

With the v6.6 update, the new weapon [Pandora's Box 18th] will be added to the game.

In this guide, I will explain the weapon, compare it to other weapon options and talk about its usefulness on other Valkyries with similar use.

These weapon us the signature equipment of the newly added SP Battlesuit [Therminal Aide 0017].

★ HOW TO OBTAIN ★

◆ After the v6.6 update you can obtain the weapon [Pandora's Box 18th] through Equipment Expansion Supply.

• Guarantees one Up Equipment (Weapon or Stigmata) every 30 pulls

◆ The Banner will offer a special discount

• First 10 pulls are free

• For every 10 pulls receive 5 Focused Supply Cards, up to 40 cards

★ ANALYSIS & SKILL DETAILS ★

GENERAL SELF BONUS:

◆ +20% Total DMG for 20s

◆ +15% Physical DMG after Ultimate hits

GENERAL TEAM BONUS:

◆ +18% Physical DMG

THERMINAL AIDE 0017 BONUS:

◆ + 400% Physical DMG for her SP Skill

◆ Trigger Weapon Active after using Ultimate or SP Skill & restore her shield

◆ +12% Physical DMG taken by enemies if SP Skill hits after using Weapon Active

Weapon Active

This weapon active is a buff state and does not have an animation, which means it can be used during any other animation (except for some Ultimates).

★ WEAPON COMPARISON ★

Support Gloves Overview

Are these new gloves good on other Valkyries?

Not really

Other supports who use Gloves are HoS, Carole, Sushang and Azure Empyrea.

The latter two are elemental supports and have no use for this weapon.

HoS can use this weapon to an extend but is better off with either her signature piece or Cosmic Duality because of the SP recovery.

Miracle Kissy Pillow is also a better alternative for HoS because of its high buff and absent batllesuit limitation.

However if any of these weapons are not available to you then [Pandora's Box 18th] can be a fine replacement if played without [Therminal Aide 0017].

Carole is only being played alongside [Therminal Aide 0017] now, since the latter is an overall better support for any other Lineup and both are farmable Valkyries.

If both are played in the same Team it is always better to equip [Therminal Aide 0017] with her signature weapon and choose any other available replacement for Carole.

Test Runs

Disclaimer!

Please keep in mind that these Test results can vary a lot.

SSS Prometheus is the one who has the most Crit DMG and if she misses the Crit, it is noticeable.

Some runs with the same set can vary even by 10%.

The Tests were done while paying attention to the big Crit hits from Prometheus to make them as accurate as possible.

Note!

All following tests were done using the signature stigmata set of [Therminal Aide 0017], [Dr. Mei].

Griseo, Hare and PE are using their signature equipment, while Herrscher of Sentience is using her signature stigmata set and either her signature weapon or Cosmic Duality (If Prometheus wields Domain of Sentience).

SP Valkyries are all SSS while the S-rank ones are S0.

★ GAMEPLAY ★

★ CONCLUSION ★

Is it worth to get this weapon?

Yes absolutely!

[Therminal Aide 0017] will be a staple against shielded Bosses from now on and her weapon is very important to get.

Most alternatives are not that good, the only noteworthy one is Miracle Kissy Pillow, which most likely not many people have.

Furthermore the Equipment Expansion Supply will have a special discount which lets you complete the set within a max of 120 pulls while receiving 40 Focused Supply Cards for every 10 pulls.

This means the amount of Crystals to be spend is equal to 80 pulls max.

(If we get the 10 free Pulls as well then it'll be 70 pulls spend)

And on top of that [Therminal Aide 0017] is farmable.

We all know that Bosses with Shields are the worst and Prometheus makes them much easier to deal with.

It is for sure a good investment!

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!
