Elysian Realm Guide - Silverwing: N-EX
New Signets - Eden, Sakura, Su
Hello! This guide will cover the Elysian Realm performance of the new Bronya battlesuit Silverwing: N-EX, or just Silverwing. I'll also give a build recommendation and a quick intro to some of her moves. I'll only be looking at Elysian Realm and related features in this guide, so this won't apply to other game systems.
(Everything in this beta guide is subject to change)
Gear used: S Rank, Star of Eden, Bringer of Light set
(I'm trying to use more FTP options so it's more accessible)

Basic Summary
Silverwing is a BIO-type, Ice damage dealer, who has a Scatter Barrier she can use to enhance her attacks and block enemy movement.
There are a few moves you should know about, especially in Elysian Realm, so I'll go over them here.
First is triggering her QTE using a support Valkyrie, possible if you have the signet [Blessing of Phantom Plumes]. It involves tapping the ATK button immediately after summoning any support Valkyrie. Due to her special adjustment, her QTE also summons a scatter barrier.
Triggering Silverwing's QTE after summoning Valkyrie Chariot
The next move, while not connected to any signet is very helpful, is repositioning the scatter barrier. This is done by evading, and the barrier is placed in between Silverwing and the last enemy that was hit. It's especially helpful in the Realm as VC's black hole may be in an inconvenient spot, or new enemies may spawn in an awkward place.
This can also be done by tapping (not holding) the ult button, which also switches between ground and aerial modes. (Not shown)
Evading and moving the scatter barrier to a more optimal place
Last is the combo attack, which is the main part of the recommended build shown below, and thus the most important for this guide. Without the signet [Blessing of Grey Falcon], this can only be done when no scatter barrier is present and the Threshold bar (above HP) is at least half full, and will summon a scatter barrier. With the signet, this can also be used while the scatter barrier is active, and costs SP depending on the stacks of Repeating Sequence you have, 7 SP per stack and a max of 4 stacks (28 SP).
Using combo ATK to deploy a Scatter Barrier. 1 stack of Repeating Sequence is gained from [Blessing of Grey Falcon]
Special Adjustments
Every character has certain special adjustments in Elysian Realm to make it both easier for newer players to use them and to allow them to fight solo in the realm.
Silverwing's Special Adjustments are:
- Valkyrie stats and skill level are adjusted to Lv. 80 equivalent
This is the same for all Elysian Realm valkyries, to put them on a level playing field.
- QTE creates a scatter barrier which enables enhanced bullets passing through to deal AoE damage
Due to the signet [Blessing of Phantom Plumes], this becomes very useful, as another way to place down a barrier, and as another buff for using her QTE.
Exclusive Signets
Silverwing's exclusive signets are split between Ult-focused and Normal/Combo ATK focused, as well as one QTE focused.
Blessing of Phantom Plumes
Upgrade bonus: QTE boosts ice damage by 20% > 30%. Support skills have 10% reduced cooldowns.
Note: Support skills means support Valkyrie skills
Blessing of Pale Feathers
Upgrade bonus: Attacks restore 50% > 75% bonus SP. Ult deals 2500% > 3500% ATK of bonus DMG and boosts Total DMG by 45% > 65%
Blessing of Silver Eagle
Upgrade bonus: Last sequence of Basic ATK restores 2 > 2.5 SP and deals 120% > 200% bonus DMG. With scatter barrier, Valkyrie deals 25% > 40% bonus DMG.
Blessing of Sharp Eyes
Upgrade bonus: Basic ATKs deal 30% > 45% Bonus DMG, Valkyrie restores 25 > 30 SP plus 3 > 4 SP/s
Note: Slightly confusing wording, you restore 25 SP immediately after using Ult, then 3 SP per second (or more with the upgrade)
Blessing of Grey Falcon
Upgrade bonus: Restores 2 > 2.5 SP/s. Repeating Sequence makes Combo ATK deal 16% > 24% bonus DMG
Note: SP cost refers to Repeating Sequence, each stack increases cost by 7 SP, starting at 0.
Should say bonus Ice DMG
Recommended Signets
(These recommendations are just what I personally found fun, feel free to experiment and put your own recommendations in the comments below!)
- Exclusive Signets -
Most important:
Blessing of Phantom Plumes
Silverwing is very focused around QTEs, between her Special Adjustment, passives and even weapon/stigmata passives. Thus, it makes sense for this signet to be top priority. With this signet and proper timings of support skills and Ults, the scatter barrier will never have any downtime. Not only that, but [Phantom Plumes+] gives a CD reduction to support skills, which can be very helpful for extra gather or DPS.
Second choice:
Blessing of Grey Falcon
This signet both takes advantage of the scatter barrier's 100% uptime and allows Eden's new core signets to be used. The combo attack does good damage and the stacks of Repeating Sequence make it hit even harder and give more Final Echo stacks for Eden.
Third choice:
Blessing of Pale Feathers
As we want to use Eden's new core set, we want to spend lots of SP. Thus, this signet which buffs the ult and boosts SP regen is very helpful. Elemental Breach is also one of the best buffs available, and so this signet is the best pick.
Last choices:
Blessing of Silver Eagle > Blessing of Sharp Eyes
These two signets are less recommended for this build as they focus mainly on basic attacks, while the build focuses on Combo/Ult and QTE. [Silver Eagle] is better due to its Ice DMG bonus, as the SP from [Sharp Eyes] shouldn't be necessary.
- Flame Chaser Signets -
Eden
Eden's new core, [Echo of Gold] is the backbone of the run, so it's what you should go for first. For normal signets, focus more on those that buff DMG for every 10 SP, as SP regen is easier to get from other sources. After getting the core, you can switch to focusing on Su before taking the enhanced signets for the both of them.
Su
Silverwing has some pretty fast attacks, and her combo also contributes a lot. On top of that, attacks that pass through her scatter barrier are doubled, meaning they give double combo hits. Thus, Su is a good choice for her, especially with his new core set, [Dictum of Bodhi].
I personally feel that 2 [Reset combo hits] signets and 1 [bonus combo hits] signet is a good mix. You should go specifically for the one that gives SP to fuel the combo ATKs and ult, as its probably the best SP regen available for her.
- Playstyle -
Start with a support skill into a QTE to get the buffs, then spam combo attacks.
Once the barrier is about to expire, use an Ult to bring it back then continue spamming combos.
When the barrier is going to expire again, use another support skill, and continue the cycle.
- Support Valkyries -
VC is a very good choice as Silverwing can do AoE damage, and so gather is very important. VC also has a short CD, which helps a lot in triggering QTEs. BKE is also good due to her short CD.
Another positive of the VC/BKE combo is that it gives you 3 different type-counters, between Silverwing and the 2 supports. This is important for the new difficulty cycle, which give enemies a 20% DMG reduction unless a type-counter is present.
If you aren't picking that challenge, LE is also an option for early game SP regen.
- Remembrance Sigils -
Early Game: Eden's [Gold Goblet] or [Good Old Days]
Late Game: Su's [Light as a Bodhi Leaf] or [Heavy as a Million Lives]
Final Boss: Eden's [Good Old Days] for SP or Su's [Heavy as a Million Lives] for combo hits
I think most opinions on the new battlesuit can be summed up in one sentence: If ice damage, why hot?
Ok but joking aside, she is really fun to play, and the animations all look so cool. Regarding Elysian Realm specifically, there are some wording issues and mistranslations I hope will be fixed on release (a few hours from time of writing). Also, as someone who doesn't speak Chinese, figuring out if something actually is a mistranslation is very hard -_-;
