Elysian Realm Guide - Fallen Rosemary
New Signets - Pardofelis, Kosma
New Signets - Griseo, Vill-V, Aponia
Hello and welcome to my Fallen Rosemary (aka Rosemary) guide! This guide is focused on the Elysian Realm, and so might not apply to other game systems. I'll go over a recommended build for her, as well as a build for Shallow Sequence, if you don't have her signature weapon/PRI.
Gear:
Rosemary basically NEEDS her PRI Arm (Iris of Helheim) to work well, or at the very least her signature weapon (Iris of the Dreams) for low difficulties/shallow sequence. Her moveset is heavily focused around being in Valfreyja mode, so instantly entering it at the start is very helpful. The best build is focused around her Ult, which is why her PRI is so important, especially for the shorter channeling time.
Something less required but certainly very helpful is her SS2 ability [Deadly Caress], which restores Disir after using the Ult. Having this allows you to spam God Eater without wasting time on normal attacks, helping with DPS. Even having at least SS gets you Disir regen when entering Valfreyja form once per battle.
Obviously the [Irene Adler] set is also highly recommended, but also isn't as important at the weapon.

Basic Summary
Fallen Rosemary is a QUA-type, lightning damage dealer that can enter a stronger Valfreyja form, where she attacks with Garmr, Linnorm and Strix, who summon runes for buffs. In this form, she can also cast a charged attack costing either 100 or 200 Disir for God Hunter or God Devourer respectively. Her Ult consumes any runes present and takes a few seconds to land a hit, shortened if you have the PRI arm.
Attack terms/names for reference:
Helvegr/Trickster - The Ult, takes a few seconds to hit, shortened with the PRI Arm. Consumes all runes present to do more DMG.
Disir - Shown by the bars at the bottom, 1 bar is 100 and 2 bars is 200. Certain attacks charge Disir.
Valfreyja form - Entered by a charged attack with 100 Disir or a weapon skill from [Iris of the Dreams/Helheim]. Gives many buffs and allows the use of the below attacks.
God Hunter - Charged attack with 100 Disir, gathers enemies, grants slight invincibility, resets Valfreyja form duration
God Devourer - Costs 200 Disir and creates Stain of Trickery, making enemies take more lightning damage and buffing the Ult. Also does everything God Hunter does.
-- The two above both count as God Eater for the purpose of signets --
Garmr - Summons Ulf rune, summoned from 3rd seq basic attack
Linnorm - Summons Ormr rune, from 4th seq basic attack
Strix - Summons Strix rune, from evasions and has an 8s CD
-- None of the above count as summons and do not work with Mobius' signets --
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.
Fallen Rosemary'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.
- Ulf and Ormr runes have a larger area of effect
- God Eater grants 50% total DMG reduction for 15s, triggering it again resets the duration.
- Valfreya form increases total DMG by 50%
The three above mean that you want to be in Valfreyja form as much as possible, which allows you to cast the runes and use God Eater. The exclusive signets also help by buffing Valfreyja form/God Eater.
- Inflict 50% less Paralyze trauma
In normal gameplay she inflicts a very high amount of paralyze trauma, so this debuff helps make sure enemies aren't paralyzed all the time, which would be unfair.
Exclusive Signets
Rosemary's exclusive signets are focused around her Valfreyja form and God Eater, which is why having her signature weapon is so important.

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 Nocturne
Similar to Felis' build, Rosemary wants to take advantage of the CD reduction to spam her Ult as much as possible. This is the main reason you want the PRI arm, as it reduces the channeling time for the Ult to 2s, allowing it to hit faster (the other bonuses are also nice though). The normal CD for the Ult is 20s, which means about 4 uses of God Eater, though probably closer to 3 in practice (since using them also takes time).
In between Ults you should try to have one full seq of attacks for Ulf/Ormr runes plus an evade for Strix for maximum Ult damage. Evasion into attacks is an easy Strix + Ormr since it connects to the 4th seq, and that will even give roughly enough Disir for God Devourer, for the Stain of Trickery bonus.
Second choice:
Blessing of Valfreyja > Blessing of God Eater
Valfreyja helps to buff the Ult by a lot, pulling enemies in and even resummoning the runes so that you can focus on charged ATK spam for the CD. It's yet another reason the PRI is so helpful, as it shortens the time you need to wait for the second attack.
If you have some trouble with Disir regen (likely if you don't have SS2 or even SS), God Eater is quite fun, and I personally feel it's better than Soul Siphon. Strix is a good attack, generating Disir and connecting to the 4th seq of attacks. While the Disir regen might be less than Soul Siphon, the extra damage from other sources and even SP regen from Strix make it more worth it.
Last choice:
Blessing of Soul Siphon > Blessing of Spirit Servants
Soul Siphon has good Disir regen and a few other buffs, but other signets are better.
Spirit Servants is just a flat lightning damage bonus, really not worth an Elysia signet when you can get similar buffs elsewhere.
- Flame Chaser Signets -
Kevin (1st Core) & Eden (2nd Core)
A staple of the Ult spam build, both Kevin and Eden are highly recommended here. Rosemary struggles slightly with having enough SP, so the main focus is SP regen, especially Kevin's. After getting the Kevin's core [Blade] and Eden's [Echo], aim for Kevin's signet to extend the duration. Eden's signet that lowers enemy resistance is also good.
Su (Either core)
Rosemary attacks pretty fast in Valfreyja mode, so Su is pretty good, at least compared to the others. Either core is fine, but I always personally prefer the 2nd, [Dictum]. Focus on trying to get the signet that gives bonus combo hits first, then the one that gives SP. The enhanced signets aren't super important so you can ignore them.
Other
A lot of the newer Flame-Chasers have somewhat less "specialised" signets, so you can take them without aiming for a core.
Griseo is a good example of this, you can aim for [Yellow] and either [Black] for more damage or [White] for more SP.
You can also try Aponia's [Third] for some SP, and which works well with Su, or [Fourth], to buff the Ult, since weapon skills would mostly be used at the start, with low Exhortation anyways. You could even go for the core if you wanted, as one of the enhanced signets buffs the Ult by 40% at the cost of Basic ATK DMG, it's just down here in "other" as some people may not have them unlocked yet.
- Playstyle -
Start with a weapon skill to trigger Valfreyja form, God Eater, then an evade for Strix into 4th seq atk
Use LE for the SP, hopefully enough for an Ult
Once you can, use the Ult, then spam charged atks at 100 Disir
Fit in a full basic atk sequence and evade whenever Strix is ready (no need if you have Blessing of Valfreyja)
Use the Ult whenever it's ready and repeat
- Support Valkyries -
VC/AE for gather (AE preferred because Rosemary has some gather herself)
LE for SP regen, especially helpful at the start
- Remembrance Sigils -
Final Boss: Eden's [Dreamful Gold] (preferred) or Kevin's [It Will Be Written]
- Options for No PRI Arm -
It's not recommended to do Deep sequence without her PRI Arm, but Shallow sequence still exists, and gives crystals. Also, if you have Iris of the Dreams (non-PRI) and no better option, you can try low difficulty Deep sequence runs with a slightly different build. Other weapons would also follow this build, but with a much slower start-up time as they need to build up Disir to enter Valfreyja mode.
First, take Blessing of God Eater at the start instead for a more basic attack focused run. The second choice for Elysia's signets is Soul Siphon, for more Disir, then Nocturne for more charged ATK DMG, Valfreyja then Spirit Servants.
Su is more important for a basic ATK focused run, since it means higher combo hits. SP is less important, so focus more on the offensive ones. Other options include Hua with [Suffering Mass] (2nd core) for more damage, Sakura's [Setsuna Blade: Yasha] (2nd core) to trigger Ultimate evasions every once in a while, or Kalpas' 2nd core, if you want to go with a glass cannon build.
Playstyle is essentially, once you enter Valfreyja mode, alternate between charged attacks and evades.
Support valks are AE + Haxxor for gather and buffs.
There are many different choices for the Remembrance sigil, especially since this would be at a low difficulty. Use whichever one you prefer.
In all though, I recommend you try and get her PRI, or get a different valkyrie geared up.
You know you really don't know how good something is until you don't have it anymore - I tried to use her without the PRI for this and it was painfully slow. I eventually figured out casting the Ult gives enough Disir to enter Valfreyja, but that's only at SS2, and Idk why you'd have her at SS2 without at least her normal weapon. Related to that, I never realized how slow the Ult was without the PRI - I kill the enemies faster than the Ult does. Rosemary is fun to play if you do have the gear, though I still prefer Felis.
I'm going to work on some analyses of the new signets next, and maybe get around to the Remembrance sigils? Also the beta server is opening soon (HoYoVerse pls let me in) so I'll (maybe?) be working on that too.
