▸ Good morning, Captains! In this guide, we will be taking a look at the new stigma set, Equinoctial Wonder that was introduced in version 5.5. The Equinoctial Wonder set is a Physical skills stigma that focuses on Crit, Physical DMG, and Total DMG.
▸ In this guide, we will review the set’s skills in further detail and find out the comparison between the Equinoctial Wonder set with other Physical DPS Stigma set. For the sake of convenience, this set will just be called Bianka in this guide.

✦ SKILL DETAILS & ANALYSIS ✦
※ The following skill descriptions are based on Lvl. 50. ※
[HP: 386; ATK: 113; DEF: 66]
Bianka: Theatre (T) – Legends of the Brave
▸ Analysis: Increase the host’s Physical DMG unconditionally by 30%. When the host lands Charged ATK 10 times, the stigma will enhance her and boost her Crit DMG by 45% for 15 seconds.
▸ Remember that Charged ATK and Combo ATK are different! You can see it in Special Attack, and it will explain what attack the characters have when you read the description. Both Palatinus Equinox and Bright Knight Excelsis have Charged ATK as their Special Attack.
▸ However, unlike Palatinus Equinox, BKE has a hard time triggering 10 Charged ATK as it will consume a lot of time. So Palatinus Equinox is the only one suitable for the T piece.
[HP: 411; DEF: 221; CRT: 13]
Bianka: Theatre (M) – Vengeance of the Prince
▸ Analysis: Unconditionally increase the host’s Total DMG by 20%. When the host triggers Ultimate Evasion Skill or Retaliate, the host will receive an enhancement and gain 20% TDM for 15 seconds.
▸ Palatinus Equinox can easily trigger Ultimate Evasion skill: by switching from Guardian to Knight form. This one tap can trigger and refresh the effect of the M piece and increase the Total DMG.
[HP: 386; ATK: 66; DEF: 44; CRT: 15]
Bianka: Theatre (B) – Tales of the Beauty
▸ Analysis: Unconditionally increase the host’s Crit Rate by 10%. When any characters in the team trigger the global Time Slow, it will restore 2 SP for the host only, with a cooldown of 3 seconds.
▸ If the host herself triggers the global Time Slow, the character will receive an enhancement, and her Crit Rate will be increased by 5% for 15 seconds. Similar to the M piece, Palatinus Equinox can also easily trigger global Time Slow by QTE, Ultimate Evasion skill, and Charged ATK of the Guardian form.
2-pc bonus – World’s a Stage
▸ Analysis: Unconditionally increases the host’s TDM by 30%. When 2 pieces of Bianka are equipped by Palatinus Equinox, she can trigger the enhancement buff from one piece to simultaneously obtain all enhancement buffs from other pieces. For PE, the enhancement method for M and B pieces are relatively convenient, and then she can quickly trigger the bonuses from all other pieces.
3-pc bonus – All Merely Players
▸ Analysis: Unconditionally increase the host’s Physical DMG by 30%. Similar to the 2-pc, the second buff of this set is only useful for Palatinus Equinox. When she triggers the 2-pc effect (by triggering an enhancement from any stigma piece), she will gain 80% Physical DMG for her next Ultimate and restore a bit of health.
✦ STIGMA COMPARISON ✦
▸ Team Composition:
▸ Movement Set:
HoS Spear Combo ATK > SnS QTE + Weapon Skill + Charged ATK III + Ultimate > HoS QTE + Chain Blade Combo ATK + Ultimate > Durandal + QTE + Charged ATK + Weapon Skill + Guardian Form + Charged ATK + Weapon Skill + Ultimate
▸ Damage Comparison:
▸ For Palatinus Equinox, Bianka Theater is undeniably the best set for her. The second best for her is Columbus TM Elysia B, which specialized in a boss fight (such as the New enemy: False God Otto), with a difference of 8.3%.
▸ The third one would be Elysia TB Kafka M (I didn't use Columbus M because it's gacha only). This set is completely forgeable in the Foundry, although it might take time to collect them all.
✦ RECOMMENDED FOR ✦
[Palatinus Equinox]
[Midnight Ataegina]
▸ The new Durandal’s battlesuit is the best and only character that can easily take full advantage of this Bianka set. She can trigger the enhancement effect on any piece easier than any other Valkyries.
▸ In addition, with the 2-pc effect, she can further quickly activate all the buffs from the set, and repeatedly refresh the duration to continuously gain the damage buff. Lastly, the effect from 3-pc can enhance Durandal’s Ultimate compared to other characters when facing IMG enemies.

[Miss pink Elf]
[Whisper of the Past: Sonnet]
▸ 3-pc Bianka set is very bad for any other battlesuit than PE, but 2-pc can still be taken advantage of by Elysia. She can trigger the T piece as she has a fast Charged ATK. Then, you can choose either M or B piece (the one you have) and try to trigger the enhancement effect by Ultimate Evasion (M-piece) or global Time Slow (B-piece).
✦ CONCLUSION ✦
▸ The Equinoctial Wonder set is a stigma that can strengthen the host’s TDM and Physical DMG for a long time. It needs Charged Attack, Ultimate Evasion/Retaliation, and global time slow to trigger the buffs. When equipped by Palatinus Equinox (Durandal’s new battlesuit), you can indirectly trigger all the buffs from the whole set through the 2-pc effect when triggering any skills mentioned above.
▸ Should you pull for this set? Yes, only if you have Palatinus Equinox and want her to enter the competitive side of the game such as Abyss and MA. If you lack crystals, then you can choose the second option (Columbus TM Elysia B), or (Elysia TB Kafka M). The latter is better for F2P because all the stigmas are forgeable, but will take some time to complete them all.
▸ For mid-players, they can equip Michelangelo for PE. While for newbies, the great craftable one would be Marco Polo. Dirac is not that good with PE because this set focuses more on Burst Valkyrie, which PE is not.
