Hello captains! Excelsior07 is here and in this article, I would like to do a review about the new weapon in version 6.6, Prophetic Dreams: Self-Fulfilling. It is javelin type PRI-ARM form of Prophetic Dreams which is the signature weapon of the new S-rank valkyrie in version 6.6, Hare (Dreamweaver). Yes captains, Hare’s arrival also brings a brand new weapon type to Honkai Impact 3, javelin! In this article, we will learn about what the new weapon has to offer and how it performs. Without further ado, let’s begin the review!

SKILL DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS
Prophetic Dreams: Self-Fulfilling
ATK 439 CRT 21
It is the beyond of absolute unity and the source of all beings. When it exists in silence, the dream formed by interwoven ideas will give birth to eternal thorns, akin to the harbinger of echoes. It was here that she opened her eyes for the first time. This exceptional creature stepped into the world, walked through all things, and then said, “I believe the beauty of humans comes precisely from their errors.”
ACTIVE SKILL
Hundred Forms Entwined
[SP: 0][CD: 0s] The weapon active’s CD, max charges, and effects are decided by the wielder. In Cosmic Dominance state, the weapon gains additional buffs.
Using weapon active increases Physical DMG by 12.0% for 5s (triggering it again resets the duration). Dreamweaver equip bonus: Physical body’s using weapon active restores 5.0 SP (CD: 5s). Astral body’s using weapon active increases Charged ATK’s Crit DMG by 25.0% for 5s (triggering it again resets the duration).
Analysis:
Active skill’s description stated that the active skill of javelin type weapons are depending on the user. So we can expect that javelin user works more or less the same like chakram user, where each user has different usage as well as different kind of active skill.
In addition, the description also mentioned about Cosmic Dominance state. It is a special state that javelin users can enter by certain condition. In Hare’s case, she enters Cosmic Dominance state when she summons Seeds of Ideas during Physical body form with active skill or QTE and when she throws four short spears during Astral body form by casting active skill, 4th sequence of basic ATK, or charged ATK then tap ATK repeatedly when her kinetic is empty.
During Physical body form, Hare enters Cosmic Dominance state by summoning Seeds of Ideas
During Astral body form, Hare enters Cosmic Dominance state by throwing 4 short spears
Casting active skill increases the wielder’s Physical DMG by 12% for 5s. When Hare wields this weapon, casting active skill during Physical body form restores 5 SP (CD 5s), while casting active skill during Astral body form boosts Critical DMG of her charged ATK by 25% for 5s. Having SP recovery effect even if it's just a little is nice since it will be useful in the real battle to prevent Hare from lacking of SP to cast ultimate. For your information, Hare's ultimate costs 50 SP by default, but she has a skill that allows her to consume up to 50 more SP in exchange of more Physical DMG and Critical Rate.

PASSIVE SKILL 1
Empty Beginning
Basic/Combo/Charged ATKs deal 12.0% more Physical DMG. In Cosmic Dominance state, the above bonus increases to 35.0% and Basic/Combo/Charged ATKs deal 25.0% more Crit DMG.
Analysis:
The wielder gains 12% Physical DMG buff for her basic/combo/charged ATK. During Cosmic Dominance state, that Physical DMG buff is increased from 12% to 35%. Additionally, the wielder's basic/combo/charged ATK also gains 25% Critical DMG buff.
PASSIVE SKILL 2
Being-In-Itself
Deal 20.0% more Total DMG. The presence of a user-summoned entity restores 300 HP per 10s.
Analysis:
Boosts the wielder’s Total DMG by 20%. When she has summoned entity on the field, she restores 300 HP for 10s. The healing effect can actually be triggered by Hare since she is a summoned entity specialist, but I don’t think she would really need that effect. Well, having Hare’s survivability increased is better than nothing I guess?
DPS TEST AND COMPARISON
Disclaimer: This DPS test is only for testing and comparing the DMG output between tested subjects. Actual performance in the real battle may differ depending on the situation.
In this section, I will do DPS test to compare Prophetic Dreams: Self-Fulfilling with its normal form, Prophetic Dreams, and Foundry javelin, Mirage Spearhead. This DPS test also features the new SP valkyrie in version 6.6, Prometheus (Terminal Aide 0017).
Preparation for DPS test is shown below:

RESULT
DPS test result
I think it’s obvious that captains would want to get Hare’s weapon. Not only her performance would drop significantly without her weapon, the fact that javelin is a new type in the game means Hare’s alternative weapon is limited to only the Foundry weapon, Mirage Spearhead. It only provides 8% Total DMG buff and further increased to 15% during Cosmic Dominance state. Hare can actually wield Mirage Spearhead and she won’t have any problem in her rotation due to her nature as javelin user, but in my opinion it’s just not worth it to spend any materials to craft and upgrade it. If captains want to use Hare properly then make sure captains get at least her weapon.
VALKYRIE RECOMMENDATION
Prophetic Dreams: Self-Fulfilling recommended wielder, Hare
Since javelin is a newly released type in the game with only one valkyrie capable of wielding it, it’s obvious that only Hare (Dreamweaver) can wield Prophetic Dreams: Self-Fulfilling. The weapon provides various DMG boosts as well SP recovery for Hare. Captains would need Prophetic Dreams: Self-Fulfilling to maximize Hare’s combat performance because she has no alternative beside the Foundry javelin, Mirage Spearhead, which I don’t recommend because the gap between them is too far.
HOW TO GET
To obtain Prophetic Dreams: Self-Fulfilling, captains must obtain Prophetic Dreams first. Captains can obtain Prophetic Dreams as well as Hare’s signature stigmata, Alexandra, by pulling in focused supply. One pull costs 280 crystals and each piece has 50 pulls guarantee, which means captains are guaranteed to get all pieces within 200 pulls. Wishing Well is available. Once captains have obtained Prophetic Dreams, captains can craft its PRI-ARM form, Prophetic Dreams: Self-Fulfilling in Foundry.
CONCLUSION
“Should I pull this or not?”
Once again, if captains want to use Hare, get at least her weapon for better DMG and more SP recovery. Using Mirage Spearhead for Hare is just sadge and not recommended. As for her stigmata, Alexandra, I actually also recommend captains to get it to further boost Hare’s combat performance. But it’s fine if captains want to stop pulling as soon as captains get Hare’s weapon, captains can use other farmable alternative sets for the time being.
Captains can read my article about Hare's signature stigmata set here:

Okay captains, we’ve reached the end of my review about Prophetic Dreams: Self-Fulfilling. Hopefully my article could make captains better understand about the new PRI-ARM weapon and how to utilize it. I do apologize if there is any information that I missed to include here. Good luck to every captains who want to pull Hare and her signature equipment! Excelsior07 is out and have a nice day, captains!
