★ INTRODUCTION ★

With the v6.6 update, a new stigmata set will be added to the game: Moth's Days Set [Dr. MEI].

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

This stigmata set is the signature set of the newly added SP Battlesuit [Therminal Aide 0017].

★ HOW TO OBTAIN ★

◆ After the v6.6 update you can obtain the stigmata set [Dr. MEI] 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 ★

Dr. MEI (T)

- Noisy Morning -

GENERAL SELF BONUS:

◆ +20% Total DMG

◆ +20% Physical DMG for 5s after landing QTE

This stigma can be used by any Physical DPS that uses QTE in battle.

For example Fervent Tempo Delta together with Shuijing MB.

Dr. MEI (M)

- Busy Afternoon -

GENERAL SELF BONUS:

◆ +20% Physical DMG

GENERAL TEAM BONUS:

◆ +40% Shieldbreak power for 20s after Ultimate hits

This single piece can be used by any Physical Support if more Shieldbreak is needed.

Examples are HoS, Griseo or Carole.

Note!

Paganini M is an overall better single support piece for both DMG and Shieldbreak and should be the preferrred choice, if available.

Dr. MEI (B)

- Stressful Midnight -

GENERAL TEAM BONUS:

◆ +15% Total DMG

◆ +13% Physical DMG for 20s if Ultimate hits a shielded or shield-broken enemy

(Navigator state)

This single piece can be used by any Physical Support and provides long buffs.

Examples are HoS, Griseo or Carole.

Thanks to the Total DMG bonues, this piece can also be used for elemental support Valkyries if you lack any other suitable B.

2-piece Bonus

- Between the Bustle -

GENERAL TEAM BONUS:

◆ +15% Total DMG for 22s after using Ultimate

THERMINAL AIDE 0017 BONUS:

◆ + 10% extra Physical DMG after landing Ultimate with B-piece equipped

• This enables her to trigger the Navigator state against any type of enemies without the limitation from the B-piece

Similar to the B-piece, this 2-piece effect can be used by any Physical Support as it is easy to trigger by just using Ultimate.

Examples are HoS, Griseo or Carole.

3-piece Bonus

- Between the Bustle -

GENERAL TEAM BONUS:

◆ +40% Shieldbreak power

◆ +15% Physical DMG taken by enemies for 20s after hitting Ultimate

Again this is a strong support bonus for the Team with long lasting buffs and easy activation.

User examples are HoS, Griseo or Carole.

Note!

Please keep in mind that Griseo's signature set, Cezanne, is a lot stronger for her than Dr. MEI.

However it is a good substitute if you do not own Cezanne.

★ STIGMATA COMPARISON ★

Dr. MEI vs. Paganini Overview

Which one is better?

Overall both sets have various good points speaking for them but [Dr. MEI] for sure exceeds Paganini as a set.

A lot of Buffs from Paganini are unfortuately tied to using Charged ATK, which most current Physical supports do not have.

Both sets have similar durations with 20s - 22s.

Dr. MEI T > Paganini T

Paganini M > Dr. MEI M

Dr. MEI B > Paganini B

Is [Dr. MEI] useful on other Valkyries?

Yes!

The requirements for this Stigmata set are mostly met by using Ultimate and it only has one exclusive buff for [Therminal Aide 0017].

This means it can be used on any Physical support Valkyrie to a great effect.

However the Buffs do not stack so if playing a Team with [Therminal Aide 0017] it is better used on her.

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 weapon of [Therminal Aide 0017], [Pandora's Box 18th].

Griseo, Hare and Herrscher of Sentience are using their signature equipment.

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

Prometheus Support

- Rotation -

HoS Active -> Evasion -> Lance Combo -> Prome QTE -> Ultimate -> Active -> HoS Ultimate -> Hare QTE -> Active -> Basic ATK -> Active -> Ultimate -> Active -> Charge -> Basic ATK until can use Charge -> Charge -> Ultimate.

Time: 23s.

Note!

The results from Shuijing can be much higher but require a change in the rotation because the buffs not last very long.

Avoiding Prome Active after Ultimate and performing a very short rotation with Hare (Ultimate immediately -> Active -> Charge -> Ultimate) will improve the overall DMG output when using the Shuijing set.

Prometheus DPS (Full support Team)

- Rotation -

HoS Active -> Evasion -> Lance Combo -> Griseo QTE -> Ultimate -> HoS Ultimate -> Prome QTE -> Ultimate -> Active -> Griseo QTE -> HoS Combo until Prome is ready -> Prome QTE -> Combo -> Active.

Time: 24s. (Exit before Bleeding ends)

★ GAMEPLAY ★

★ CONCLUSION ★

Is it worth to get this stigmata set?

Definitely!

If you plan to build [Therminal Aide 0017] now is the best chance to do it.

Her Equipment 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)

This set is also very strong and useful on other Physical supports, which is always a great thing.

Do you have trouble with those pesky shielded enemies and Shieldbreak weather?

This stigmata set will for sure solve your problems!

I would definitely recommend to utilize this special offer and grab it for your Physical Teams.

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!
