Hi there! Starry Impression's release is just round the corner, prepare the canvas!
Introduction
Starry Impression (SI) is Griseo's first PSY type SP battlesuit specialising in supporting physical teams. Accompanied by a guardian knight, Griseo uses her colourful palette to bleed enemies into oblivion. I hope you will gain more of an insight after reading this guide!

Basic Attacks
Griseo possesses this colourful gauge in which her attacks are based off of. Most of Griseo's attacks seem like they do not deal much damage right off the bat, but in fact are only apparent after the bleeding stacks on affected enemies.
Figure 2. Paint colours.
She has a 5-hit basic attack sequence. The default paint is red, and you can switch colours by tapping (not holding) the ultimate button.
Figure 3. Griseo executing "The Painter and The Knight". Sequences 3 and 5 increase her Physical DMG by 35% for 6 seconds, refreshable.
The damage numbers are as follows (according to valkyrie's attack stat)
Seq 1: 80% ATK of Physical DMG
Seq 2: 100% ATK of Physical DMG
Seq 3: 120% ATK of Physical DMG
Seq 4: 80% + 80% ATK of Physical DMG
Seq 5: 180% ATK of Physical DMG
As briefly mentioned, tapping the ultimate button allows Griseo to change paint colours. This process of changing colours also counts as a basic attack.
Figure 4. More basic attacks.
Here is what a vibrant basic attack sequence looks like.
Figure 5. Even more basic attacks.
Special Attacks
With any three paint colours, Griseo can summon Mr. Knight to perform combo attacks.
Figure 6. Griseo using "Knight Blowing Bubbles" with three different colours. This smiting move deals 650% ATK of Physical DMG, and restores 16 SP.
Combo attacks are determined by the corresponding colour(s). If Griseo does not have all three colours, or part thereof, Mr. Knight will perform a sweep which knocks the enemy airborne. The effects are as follows:
3 Red (or 2 Red, 1 Blue/Yellow): 20% bonus TDM to shield-broken or unshielded enemies
3 Yellow (or 2 Yellow, 1 Red/Blue): Grants Griseo 15% less TDM taken during the move's execution
3 Blue (or 2 Yellow, 1 Blue/Red): Enhances bleeding inflicted from Griseo by 35% bonus Physical DMG
Figure 7. Griseo using "Knight Blowing Bubbles" with three of the same colours. This sweeping move deals 400% + 250% ATK of Physical DMG. Additional SP can be recovered too, 4 for the same colours, and 8 for two different colours.
You might have noticed this Griseo obtained a shield at some point. This protective layer is obtainable after casting a combo attack.
Figure 8. "Prismatic Bubble" exploding after 10 seconds of inactivity. This bubble grants 30% TDM reduction during its uptime.
This shield can negate incoming damage once. It can be stacked twice, and will expire if it fails to serve its purpose (as shown in figure 8) or triggered again after obtaining 2 stacks.
Figure 9. Griseo attacked with a multi-hit attack.
Ultimate
Pouring all of her soul into a single stroke, Griseo unleashes her ultimate which creates a colourful domain. This skill is cast by holding the ultimate button at 75 SP or more.
Figure 10. Griseo casting "Neverland Genesis". The initial cast does not deal any damage. When ultimate has 8 seconds left, a small explosion deals 500% ATK of Physical DMG to already bleeding enemies, where each stack of bleed increases this multiplier by 300% until it hits a cap of 2000%. The bleed inflicted by Griseo during ultimate also enjoys 50% bonus TDM. All of these damage are counted as bleeding DMG. Her ultimate lasts for 18 seconds, and triggers 2 seconds of Global Time Fracture.
After exiting during ultimate, Griseo grants teammates the ability to inflict bleed as well. Teammates are able to inflict 2 bleed trauma every 2 seconds with any attack, and stack bleeding on enemies 4 more times, each stack making them take 15% ATK of Physical DMG for 0.5 seconds until the ultimate ends.
Casting ultimate also grants her an two additional paint slots. The same combo attack mechanics apply here - all paints are consumed upon combo cast.
Figure 11. Whoa, a bigger palette!
QTE
Griseo has two QTE (Quick Time Event) triggers, one through Time Slow, and another when a teammate applies bleed.
Figure 12. QTE from Time Slowed enemies. Griseo performs "Windmills" dealing 140% x 7 ATK of Physical DMG, restoring 6 SP to the entire team, and fully restores three different paints. The valkyrie who switched out in place of Griseo's QTE will have her switch cooldown reduced to 4 seconds, essentially halving an usual QTE switch-in time.
Figure 13. The 2nd QTE trigger. Teammates are able to apply bleed during Griseo's ultimate skill uptime, or from any skill that can bleed enemies.
Evasion
Griseo is able to evade twice in succession.
Figure 14. Griseo performing "The Birth of the Depicter". This skill triggers a 2 second Global Time Fracture and has a 15 second cooldown. Upon successful evasion skill proc, a "Prismatic Bubble" is spawned.
Figure 15. Evasion skill allows Griseo to immediately connect into basic attack sequence 3.
Figure 16. If Griseo is equipped with Elysian Astra or its PRI-ARM, casting her weapon skill triggers evasion skill automatically.
Passive Skills
Griseo has several passive skills that buff herself and the team. These skills are all at maxed level.
Figure 17. SP buffing skills for Griseo.
Griseo's leader skill is very coveted. Not only does it grant the team 24% bonus Physical DMG to bleeding enemies (basically unrestricted seeing as bleed is always active with Griseo in the team), she provides 55 bonus initial SP! This effect is extremely useful in Memorial Arena seeing as time wasted farming SP will always be a hassle. Unfortunately, the 55 initial SP does not work in Abyss due to it being overwritten by 90 SP at the start as they do not stack. What does work is Griseo's 40 bonus initial SP.
Figure 18. Yay, colours!

SP Skills
Starry Impression is an SP battlesuit, meaning she has extra skills apart from normal ones. These skills can be standalone, but usually work to improve existing skills in Griseo's base kit.
Figure 20. Base SP skill.
This SP skill that Griseo possesses allows any attack which involves Mr. Knight to bleed enemies hit. It includes Griseo's basic, combo, ultimate, and QTE attacks. Without this skill unlocked, both the team, Griseo, and Cezanne will be crippled. This skill also allows for any teammate to inflict bleed during Griseo's ultimate (refer to Ultimate section).
Figure 21. Follow-up SP skills unlocked at S, SS, and SSS rank (from left to right).
Capitalising on the bleed, these SP skills provide the entire team with useful buffs. The 2nd skill shreds hit-count shields. The final skill increases Crit Rate for the entire team, but the Physical DMG increase is only limited to Griseo herself.
Lineup Options
Griseo is able to provide support for most physical valkyries, like Palatinus Equinox (PE) and Bright Knight: Excelsis (BKE). She loves the comfort of Herrscher of Sentience (HoS), as they work together to create the best environment for a DPS to thrive in. HoS is able to use Holmes and Dracula only due to Griseo's innate bleed mechanic.
Griseo is equipped with full Cezanne as this set provides her with full potential.

Rotation
Here are sample rotations on how to play the different teams.
Miscellany
Here is an interesting observation about Griseo.
