✶Introduction

[Starry Impression]

Is an SP, PSY type, cross wielding battlesuit that provides universal Physical support for the team (besides impair) with her Combo ATKs and even more DMG buffs via her bleed-centric skillset.

Against enemies that do not have a shield or doesn't require high shield-breaking ability, Griseo will be a wonder choice for a support.

✶Skills Descriptions

1, Leader Skill [Self-Portrait: Stars]

- Griseo's leader skill gives the team a huge starting SP bonus (from 45 up to 55) as well as increase the team's Physical DMG to bleeding enemies.

- This leader skill is a great addition to you Memorial Arena speed killers since it allows for battlesuits with high SP requirements like Miss Pink Elf to efficiently and swiftly dispose of the enemy.

2, Basic ATK [The Painter and The Knight]

The core of Starry Impression's playstyle, she fights with the help of Mr. Knight!

- Griseo has 5 Basic ATK sequences that give her a paint color upon hitting an enemy.

Basic SEQ.

Color Slots.

- Each time Griseo obtains a paint color, she’ll receive a corresponding Mixing buff lasting 20s (refreshable):

[Mixing: Red]: Deal 20% bonus TDM to unshielded or shield-broken enemies.

[Mixing: Yellow]: Take 15% less incoming TDM.

[Mixing: Blue]: Bleed DMG from self deals 35% bonus Phys DMG.

(A friendly reminder that Mixing buffs cannot be obtained if Griseo is occupying all 3 color slots)

- By pressing the Ult button, you can change the color of the paint obtained between Red, Yellow and Blue. Red is the default color and she gets all 3 paint colors upon first stage entry

Changing colors.

3, Combo ATK [Knight Blowing Bubbles]

- Depending on the number and color of paint she holds, Griseo can perform 2 types of Combo ATKs and restore huge amounts of SP:

+ If she holds less than 3 paint charges or does not have all 3 colors: Mr. Knight will do an upward swing to knock enemies airborne and consume all paints.

Combo without all 3 colors.

+ If she has all 3 colors: Mr. Knight will instead slam his sword down, deal more Physical DMG and consume all paints.

Combo ATK with all 3 colors.

- Combo ATKs also give Griseo a [Prismatic Bubble] that lasts 10s.

Prismatic bubble.

This bubble can block DMG from one incoming attack and deals some Physical DMG in a small AoE when it pops or when it is summoned again.

4, Evasion Skill [The Birth of The Depicter]

- Triggers a 2s Global Time Fracture while also giving Griseo a [Prismatic Bubble]. Pressing ATK after an Ultimate evasion will also connect to Basic ATK 3.

Evasion.

4, QTE

- Can be triggered through bleeding or time-slowing enemies.

QTE.

- Griseo's QTE restores SP for the whole team, gives her all 3 paint colors and reduces the switch CD of the prior valk.

5, Ultimate [Neverland Genesis]

Griseo's Ult has 2 parts, and she simultaneously debuffs enemies and buffs the team as well.

- Holding the Ult button materializes a painting in a big AoE, proccing a 2s Global Time Fracture and applying 6 Bleed Trauma to enemies.

Ultimate opening ( 75SP, 20s CD).

- The painting lasts for 18s, during which Griseo can hold up to 5 paint slots at once. In addition, it enables stacking of Bleed Trauma up to 5 stacks and deals bonus Bleed DMG to enemies.

- At the same time the team enters Traced state, and enemies will take more DoT Physical DMG per stack of Bleed Trauma.

- After 10s, the painting will complete and deal massive bleed DMG to enemies

Painting complete.

- Remember all those Mixing buffs Griseo has? Well, when she exits the field during Ult duration, she will reset the duration of all Mixing buffs and shares them to the whole team.

✶Rank Up and SP Skills

- Being an SP battlesuit, Captains will most likely want her at SS rank or higher since that's when she unlocks and maxes out most of her skillset.

- At SS, Griseo unlocks practically one of her most essential skills, which allows her to deal 6 instances of DMG per bleed DMG coming from her to shields that only take a fixed number of DMG. This skill makes her an extremely crucial part of fights such as Jizo Mitama in both Abyss and Memorial arena.

- At SSS, her team DMG boosting gets stronger and she can now stack 2 [Prismatic Bubbles].

✶Playstyle

[Starry Impression] has a rather simple and easy to learn moveset.

- Your goal will be to get all 3 paint colors and use Ult as soon as possible.

- Example with a team consisting of PE, HoS and Griseo:

HoS evade (make clone) -> spear combo -> Griseo QTE -> Combo ATK -> HoS

-> Ult -> PE QTE

- As long as you have access to Time Fracture or Bleed, you can always use this rotation with Griseo in almost any Physical team!

✶Equipment and Alternatives

1, Weapon

- v5.8 introduces a new cross for Griseo called [Elysian Astra], this weapon is obtainable from gacha only

Elysian Astra (10SP, 20s CD).

[ATK 285; CRT 22]

- This weapon's active skill inflicts Bleed Trauma and boosts the team's Physical DMG. If used by Starry Impression, active skill and evasion skill will also auto-cast when she enters field through QTE.

- This cross also has a PRI form for Captains who have broken through

Elysian Astra: Heart's Color (10SP, 20s CD)

[ATK 392; CRT 56]

- All of the cross' stats are improved in PRI form and a 2nd passive skill is added to boost the user's Bleed DMG and own Physical DMG.

✶Alternatives

- If you don't manage to get the signature weapon then Blood Embrace, 11th Leitourgia, Hekate's Sombre and Zither's Lament are all good substitutes depending on the enemies you're fighting.

- Other options will include any PRI crosses and the Silver Reaper. These weapons don't serve much purpose aside from being a pure stat stick.

2, Stigma

- Depicter Impresion - [Cezanne] is the new stigma set coming with Griseo in this patch. It can only be obtained from gacha and it will be your best option when gearing up your Starry Impression.

Cezanne

- This set excels at buffing Bleed Trauma application, Bleed DMG as well as debuffing multiple enemies and boosting team Physical DMG.

- The B piece in particular is a very strong stigma

- Cezanne B: Host’s Combo ATK will put enemies under [Structure Outline] and make them take 36% more TDM for 6s, 16s CD. Teammates will also be given an enhancement. Each field entry will consume the enhancement to make [Structure Outline] last longer to a maximum of 9s and you can stack [Structure Outline] twice.

- For all you meta players out there, you better prepare because Newt B 2.0 is here! Cezanne B offers the same debuff as Newt B whilst having a longer duration and can be applied to multiple enemies at once. This is the piece you'll wanna have many copies of.

✶Alternatives

Luckily enough, Griseo has plenty of alternative stigma choices if you don't have Cezanne

- No.1

Holmes 3pc. This is also a support stigma set that favors bleeding. Though it may not provide as much buffs and debuffs as Cezanne, it synergizes well with Griseo's moveset and buff conditions.

Variations of this set include Holmes TB Mei Beach Party M and Holmes TM Newt B.

-No.2

Probably the 2nd best option if you're Holmes-less. All farmable, buffs are easy to manage (even more so now that Mei M has an icon to display duration time) and more consistent in long combat.

- No. 3 The Copium Set

Shuijing 3pc is another choice for your Griseo's stigmas. This set has more downside for not being able to be retriggered since Starry Impression can't cast her QTE from off field. In longer fights this set falls off very noticeably in support sustainability But in very shorts fights this set may suffice.

- The Economic Chapters:

I would recommend the classic GustavTM NewtB, or Tesla BandT/Theresa GluttonyT BeetMB and more. Everything here is farmable and if it works, it works I suppose.

✶Team Comps/Lineups

- Griseo can fit iinto virtually any Physical team, especially ones that don't have to deal with shielded foes.

- Some of the most common teams you'll see may consist of

PE - Griseo - HoS

BKE - Griseo - HoS

Elysia - Griseo - HoS/ SA

Honestly about just anyone can use Griseo's support.

✶Final Thoughts

- In short, Starry Impression is a great Physical support that is both free and can work with any team. If you're still on the fence about it then I suggest you should get her since she has so many utility functions (hitcount shield shredding, low cost ult with fast sp farming) and easy to pick up playstyle.

That's all from me for now and I hope to see you guys again soon. Oh and feel free to discuss and share your own ideas/opinions/feedbacks in the comments as well. I really appreciate your input.
