Combo Attack & SP Skill

★ RANK UP ★

As an SP Battlesuit she is farmable through:

• Adventure Tasks (OW)

• Asterite Shop

• Various Events in v6.6

In terms of which rank is more important it is hard to determine because all of them grant many useful benefits.

S-rank has already good Team Buffs and shieldbreak.

SS-rank adds some minor Buffs and many utility improvements like more SP recovery, higher shieldbreak and shield freeze.

SSS-rank on the other hand increases her own DMG output by a huge amount while also granting minor Team Buffs.

Overall I would say S-rank is already enough to perform well but I would definitely aim for at least SS-rank for the extra shieldbreak.

★ PLAYSTYLE & LINEUP ★

[Therminal Aide 0017] is a very easy Valkyrie to play and her rotation is pretty straightforward.

Her rotation should always involve using her Ultimate together with her SP skill.

The combinations you will mostly use will be:

Prome QTE -> Ultimate -> Active

Herrscher of Sentience Ultimate should always be used after that, since [Therminal Aide 0017] does not have Time Stop on either her animations and they are pretty long.

It would waste a lot of time from Herrscher of Sentience's Buffs.

The Buffs from [Therminal Aide 0017] are also active for a long duration.

Furthermore her QTE can be triggered easily just by using Charged/Combo ATK's.

If played with the Full Support Team the rotations can vary a lot, from using Griseo first to using Prometheus first.

This Team has room for a lot of creativity.

Note!

These are just some example to get an idea how she should be played.

I could not add a GIF of the rotation because it would be too long.

Please look at the Gamplay section for a showcase of her.

[Therminal Aide 0017]'s usage always depends on the Boss and not on the DPS Valk, the only exception being Susannah, who cannot be played alongside her.

Boss Coverage

There are quite a few Bosses who have heavy shields or are fought during Shieldbreak Weather.

She will be the best against all of those while also increasing the viablility of Palatinus Equinox against IMG-Bosses.

[Therminal Aide 0017] increases the fighting experience against those annoying shielded enemies a lot!

While testing her it felt so much better fighting these Bosses.

★ TEST RUNS ★

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.

Analysis

As seen in the test results her stigmata set is the most impotant part when used as a full support.

It provides extremely high buffs for the team with very long durations.

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)

Analysis

When played alongside the full support Team it is actually the weapon which has the highest impact on the overall DMG output.

Since the rotations are shorter she can make use of alternative stigmata set Shuijing, which has short but strong buffs, very effectively.

★ GAMEPLAY ★

★ CONCLUSION ★

Is it worth to invest in her?

You bet!

If you are lacking a second Physical support and don't want to spend many Crystals, then [Therminal Aide 0017] is the Valkyrie for you!

She is farmable and has a special discount Banner that lets you complete her set within a max of 80 pulls (or 70 if we get the free first 10 pulls) worth of Crystals.

Do you have trouble with enemies that have heavy shields?

[Therminal Aide 0017] is the answer to all your suffering!

She is not just a great support but also a strong member for the full support Team.

It is amazing how much she improves the performance of Carole against certain Bosses.

Furthermore she unlocks many buffs at lower ranks and is fully functioning even at S-rank.

I would highly recommend to build her during the time her equipment is on discount!

This is an huge chance that should not be missed!

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!
