5.4 Beta Guides

Hoi, Marisa Honkai here. Silverwing:N-EX (SW) is the new top-tier Ice DPS introduced in version 5.4. In this article, we’ll compare the best gears for her. We’ll do a DPS check, analyze the results and demonstrate them in real battles. This article also has a Youtube video version
✦ DPS CHECK✦
1. Lineup Used

For DPS check, I used full gear Azure Empyrea and Haxxor Bunny team, the standard team for Silverwing.
✦ Emblem used is Red Lotus emblem. Ice Divine Key buff activated. These are all kept constant throughout the test.
✦ For stigma test, each has at least one 15-20 ATK affix. Falcon Flare: FINAL is used throughout the test.
✦ For weapon test, I use SW signature stigma Bronya N-EX throughout the test.
2. Rotation Used

HB Charged ATK > AE 3x combo + Ultimate > HB QTE+Ultimate >
SW QTE > Combo ATK (summon scatter barrier) > Weapon Skill > Basic ATK last hit > Basic ATK full >
Special Combo > Ultimate > [HB QTE] + SW Basic ATK x2 > Special Combo
✦ This is a rotation commonly used in Abyss
✦ SW can only use Falcon Flare weapon skill in mid-air; Other weapon skills are disabled in mid-air. The length of the rotation is pretty much the same tho

✦ WEAPON COMPARISON✦
✦ RESULT


Evaluation:
1. FALCON FLARE FINAL
Falcon Flare PRI-ARM is obviously the best weapon for her. The weapon skill does significant damage. There is a HUGE GAP between Falcon Flare and the next best weapon
2. DoR / Falcon 0019
Domain of Revelation and Falcon Flare 0019 performance is very close. Just use whichever one that you have.
3. KoR / PRI-ARMs
Although Briareus EX and Star Destroyer 19C-X don't provide any buff, their sheer high ATK stats make them almost on par with regular Key of Reason. I DON'T RECOMMEND WASTING YOUR MATS TO FORGE BRIAREUS EX THOUGH, ESPECIALLY NOT SD19C-X.
4. FREE STUFF
The free cannons are around the same level. Just use whatever you have. You can still get Eye of Collapse from Kolosten Story Mode Open World in 5.4.

✦ STIGMA COMPARISON✦
✦ RESULT

Other possible stigma replacements:
TOP: JingweiT, ThalesT
MID: PearyM, MeiBeachM, JinShengtanM
BOT: NewtonB

Evaluation:
1. BRONYA N-EX and WELT M
Bronya N-EX is the best set for Silverwing but BronexTB WeltM is very close to it. 'Why?' you ask? BronexM and 3set are not that strong on the surface, while Welt M is one of the best single Ice pieces in the game.
- BronexM / 3pc: Total DMG + 30%, ATK deal additional 25% extra Ice DMG every 0.3s
- WeltM: Enemies take 10% more Ice DMG from host - and this is an INDEPENDENT MULTIPLIER
But it is what it is. Full Bronex does deal more damage. miHoYo must have thought about this and made full set just a bit better than Welt M so your full set is worth it. Plus, those extra hit procs help against hitcount shields.
2. GOOD STIGMA OPTIONS
- All combinations from LinWeltShake to full Ana are good. I was actually surprised by Bringer-of-LightTB WeltM to score that high but that's the power of Welt M.
- All these stigma have really close scores to each other in Abyss (at least from my runs).
3. ANA SCHARIAC
- Silverwing can't get the full bonus of Ana due to her ranged gameplay, but the score difference between Ana and PearyTM ShakesB, for example, IS VERY SMALL. Peary won't get you 100 more scores than Ana.
- Don't go waste your mats to forge Peary just because you see it's higher than Ana in the damage chart. Ana is still generally better than Peary on other Ice valks.

✦ 5.4 BONUS REWARD✦
In 5.4, Silverwing expansion supply give bonus rewards:
- BronyaNEX stigma box at 60/150/190 pull
- Falcon Flare/ BronyaNEX stigma box at 110th pull
- And free BronyaNEX stigma box by playing APHO2
Basically, you can get full Silverwing set and potentially S1/S2 in 150 pulls (42k crystal), or if you wanna use Welt M for mid piece, then you need
110 pulls (30800 xtal)

✦ VS ABYSS BOSS✦
I tested some stigma combinations vs a few Abyss bosses. The disturbance is 384 D. Benares boss fight gameplay is available below. I didn't publish the Husk and Elysia runs.
THE RESULT:

Take a look at Husk. Bronex and BronexWelt have a big score gap to other stigs. This is because Bronex kills Husk first phase fast enough to skip clone phase, while other stigs are forced to deal with clone phase.

✦ CONCLUSION✦
1. As always, try to get the signature weapon, or use DoR
2. BronyaNEX set and BronexTB WeltM are very close
3. For f2p, Just use Ana don't forge Peary. Or if you have too many forge materials, fine, go get Peary then
That's it. Hope this helps you decide on what to use on Silverwing.
This took a lot of time. Full Silverwing guide will be up soon~ Bye~
