[emoji]Introduction[emoji]
Astral Divide: Pisces is the first and only Fire Scythe, designed for a Fire DMG Dealer, but specially for Spina Astera (she is the only Fire valk using Scythe).
The difference between it and its 5 stars form is only the amount of DMG buff and other exclusive skill buff for Spina Astera!
For the convenience, Astral Divide: Pisces and Spina Astera will be called as Astral Pri and SpA respectively~
[emoji] Skills and Analysis[emoji]
[ ATK 415 | CRT 39 ]
--------- Gamma-Ray Burst ---------
Skills
[SP: 0][CD: 16s] An underground blaze erupts and explodes near wielder, dealing 1200% + 200% ATK of Fire DMG and inflicting Flared state lasting 10s on hit. Flared enemies take 20% bonus Fire DMG. Spina Astera equip bonus: Astral Flare deals 15% ATK of bonus Fire DMG on Flared enemies.
Analysis
What's nice about the active skill is that it doesn't have any animation, in gameplay aspect, it saves lots of time!
The DMG from the active skill is huge, it inflicts Flared state to enemies with powerful debuff! It is highly recommend to use the weapon right after entering the field to optimize the DMG output.
For SpA, in Harness Astral, her Basic ATKs deal extra DMG to affected enemies from the active skill, awesome!
--------- Neutron Degeneracy ---------
Skills
Basic, Charged, and Combo ATK deal 25% bonus Total DMG to Flared enemies.
Spina Astera equip bonus: She restores 20 Astrum per second.
Analysis
Now it's obvious that the active skill must be triggered initially after enter the battlefield! After that, spamming Basic/Charged/Combo ATKs are even more powerful!
Sadly, Burst Mode ATKs are not counted and it lowers the range of users a little bit~
For SpA, the Astrum regeneration is undoubtly essential and from 7.5s to fully charged Astrum, now you only need 6s!
--------- Relativistic Jets ---------
Skills
Charged ATK deals 20% bonus Total DMG. Spina Astera equip bonus: Charged ATK or Ultimate boosts her Fire DMG by 25% for 10s, during which Basic, Charged, and Combo ATK inflict Flared state lasting 10s on hit.
Analysis
This time, the buff is only for Charged ATKs and the amount is sufficient.
The striking point is SpA exclusive skill! I once said using Weapon Skill immediately after entering the field to inflice Flared State to enemies cuz massive debuff and buff, but the duration doesn't really long!
So after applying Flared state to enemies through Weapon Skill, after that, by triggering Charged ATK and Ultmate, you can enlarge the duration super effectively not to mention about the Fire DMG buff!
More DMG buffs and dealt, bonus exclusive skill to enlarge the duration of Flared state!
[emoji]Recommended Battlesuits [emoji]
Spina Astera
Spina Astera is definitely the one and only battlesuit can optimize the power of this phenomenall weapon to maximum!
As she is the only Fire Scythe User, she also uses Charged ATKs quite frequently as well as spamming Basic ATKs like crazy!
The exclusive skills for her to activate Charged ATK faster, to extend Flared state's duration and to boost the DMG to a whole new level!
[emoji] Weapon Comparison[emoji]
Analysis
At the very top, our hero Astral Pri took the crown with the massive gap to the 2nd place! That was over 1.5M DMG!
The other Pri-arms are not very a good choice afterall~
Turning to Master Tier when Skadi can catch up a little bit with SpA's signature weapon, Astral!
Overall, the power of Astral/Astral Pri is extremely essential, powerful and appropriate for SpA, if you say she can only use it as a weapon, it's not wrong at all lul!
[emoji]Conclusion[emoji]
Astral Divide: Pisces is the Pri-arm version of the first Fire Scythe in the history of Honkai Impact 3rd!
Along with it is Spina Astera, the first Fire Scythe User, when equipped by SpA, the weapon shows it true potential with high DMG dealt and buff with tons of exclusive skills to help SpA maintains her power at max!
Use the Active Skill initially to inflict Flared state to enemies, attack like crazy with Basic/Charged ATKs and Ultimate to maximize the DMG output!
As Astral Pri is not designed for any other battlesuits, it's pretty inflexible. But if you want to invest in SpA, this is a must!
Soooooo, that's it! This is KhaiBui, hope it's helpful AND GOOD LUCK~
