Elysian Realm Guide - Fervent Tempo: Delta
New Core Signets - Griseo and Aponia
Hello and welcome to my Elysian Realm guide on Fervent Tempo: Delta, aka Delta. I'll be going over suggested signets, sigils, support valkyries and playstyle. This guide focuses on the Elysian Realm, so it may not apply to other game modes.
Gear:
Delta's signature weapon, Sleeper's Dream is amazing for this, highly recommended if you can get it. The weapon active into the retaliation Ult allows for a lot of potential and good synergies.
Other options for pre-lvl 80 players can include Swan Lake or Labor of Olympus for the passives that boost Ult damage. Out of the craftables, Judgement by Dawn, Dark Xuanyuan Sword or Vanguard could work. None of them have decent weapon actives for Delta though, so ignore anything to do with those.
For stigmata, her signature set is Dickens, but other good Physical sets like Elysia or Kafka will also work. Focus mainly on Ult damage, but Basic ATK damage is also good.

Basic Summary
Fervent Tempo: Delta is a PSY-type physical damage dealer that can use her Ult as a retaliation attack to do more damage. She can also enter Fervent mode to deal more damage and get more Ignore Interrupt.
Moves:
Pink and Blue energy (aka Fervent Juice) -- Shown by the bar above the HP bar, normally Blue energy is increased from normal attacks and Pink from evasions. In the realm, they both increase together to make things easier. When the bar is full, a charged ATK can be used to enter Fervent Mode, where the energy decreases and can't be gained.
Fervent Mode -- Entered by using a charged attack with full Fervent Juice or by casting the Ult, has a different attack sequence with higher damage, higher Ignore Interrupt and can take advantage of some Elysia signet buffs.
Strike Back EX -- A stronger version of the Ult, triggered by taking a hit right when using the Ult. It does more damage and tri***** time fracture. [Blessing of Silence] makes it easier to trigger.
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.
Delta'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.
- The Augment Core is activated upon entering battle
Similar to Striker Fulminata and Twilight Paladin, only the augment core version of the battlesuit (Fervent Tempo Delta) can be used in the realm.
- When Pink or Blue energy increases, the other energy increases the same amount
- In normal mode, the Valkyrie's Basic ATK begins from the 4th hit
These are both meant to help you activate Fervent mode more easily, which requires both Pink and Blue energy to be maxed, and is easier with the 4th, 5th and 6th attacks.
- Entering Battle or Fervent Mode generates a shield that absorbs DMG equal to 50% of the Valkyrie's Max HP for 10s. Regenerating restarts status and duration. While the shield is up, reduce Total DMG taken by 30%. Crit Rate increases by 50% during which Ultimate Evasion no longer grants a force field
This shield helps both survivability and damage, so ideally you want it up as much as possible. Each time Fervent mode is entered, the duration resets, so use the Ult as much as possible to keep it active.
- In Fervent Mode, Basic and Charged ATKs inflict 1 Bleed Trauma, while Ultimate inflicts 12 Bleed Trauma
- Ultimate's last hit deals an additional 600% ATK of Physical DMG
- Weapon active grants Iron Body for 1s
Smaller assorted buffs for Delta, the main one here is the extra Ult damage but the bleed trauma is good to keep in mind. The weapon active buff mainly helps Sleeper's Dream.
Exclusive Signets

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 Silence
The first one to take is [Silence] as the Ult CD reduction helps a lot, especially early on when enemies can be taken out quickly and SP can be handled with LE support.
The weapon CD reduction helps in keeping both the weapon skill and the Ult ready at the same time, as normally Sleeper's Dream has an 18s CD while the Ult is 9s. To get the best use out of this, use Chariot or Astrologos support to gather the enemies and make sure the Ult hits as many as possible.
Lastly, making it easier to trigger Strike Back EX helps greatly for those without Sleeper's Dream, making the timing more forgiving, though you still need to wait for an enemy to attack.
Second choice:
Blessing of Thorns > Blessing of Solitude
The next one you should go for is [Thorns], due to the SP regen, which will help lower reliance on LE support. It also gives a good damage boost to the Ult.
[Solitude] isn't super important, but it's nice to have if you can get it. It further helps with the Ult damage and boosts Fervent mode as well, which you'll be in all the time due to the frequent Ults.
Last choice:
Blessing of Mixing > Blessing of Fervor
[Mixing] debuffs enemies, as well as giving gather to both the Ult and Charged attack. In practice I felt that the gather didn't do much, especially if you have Sleeper's Dream, the Ult is used before enemies are gathered. Charged attacks are also disabled in Fervent mode. However, if you don't have Sleeper's Dream or are more focused on Charged attacks, you could take this over [Solitude].
[Fervor] is last mainly for the fact it doesn't boost the Ult damage, just Fervent mode. It also shortens the duration of Fervent mode by making it cost more, though due to the frequent Ult uses, it shouldn't matter too much. It's fine to take, but doesn't add much.
- Flame Chaser Signets -
Kevin (1st Core)
With her Ult being a very strong, single hit, Kevin's 1st core is a good choice. Physical Breach is top priority, followed by either Total DMG or SP, depending on your needs, then Physical DMG. The enhanced signets aren't super important for Delta, so you can skip them for others.
Vill-V (Only with Sleeper's Dream)
While I usually think Vill-V's buffs are too short, since the Ult is used immediately after the weapon skill, she works very well here. The highest priority is the CD reduction and SP regen, which helps a lot, especially against bosses where [Blessing of Silence] can't hit many enemies. The next priorities are the ones that make enemies take more damage or increase valkyrie damage. Ranged damage and charged/combo damage are useless for Delta.
For enhanced signets, they're mostly unnecessary, but if you feel like you have enough SP regen, you can take the Physical Breach signet that costs 20SP. Remember that [Blessing of Thorns] increases Ult SP cost to do more damage when SP is above 150.
Other
Eden (1st Core)
- Bonus SP regen to fuel the Ults and even afford Vill-V's enhanced signet. If you regularly have enough SP for the higher cost Ult from [Blessing of Thorns], you can take 2nd core instead.
Griseo (1st Core)
- The weapon skill + Ult combo makes Griseo's Red + Yellow paint good. Also take black paint for more damage boosts.
Kalpas (2nd Core)
- Delta's shield makes Kalpas' signets pretty safe to take for some good damage boosts. However, getting hit will still lower Vicissitude stacks from Hua, so her signets are less recommended.
Aponia (2nd Core)
- Aponia's new core set is really good for getting Breach, from the enhanced signet, just avoid the one that reduces Exhortation when using a weapon skill if you have Sleeper's Dream. Check my guide on the new core sets for more details!
- Playstyle -
Start with using either Chariot or Astrologos support to gather enemies
If you have Sleeper's Dream, use the weapon skill then the Ult to trigger Strike Back EX
If not, wait for one of the enemies to attack, then use the Ult as if it was an evade
Use basic attacks in Fervent mode while waiting for the Ult to come back
If needed, use LE support for more SP
Repeat the cycle, trying to hit as many enemies at once with the Ult as you can
- Support Valkyries -
Start with LE for SP regen and either Chariot or Astrologos for gather.
Once you have good SP regen you can take both gatherers or one of BKE, Divine Prayer or Snowy Sniper + one gather
For the final boss, Chariot is not helpful, so take one of BKE, Divine Prayer, Snowy, or Astrologos.
(I personally like Divine Prayer and Astrologos)
- Remembrance Sigils -
General: Start with Kevin's [Burden], switch as needed and end with [Tin Flask] for defense or Vill-V's [Faraway Ship] for offense
Support: Start with Elysia's [Because of You], switch to Vill-V's [Falling in Past Light] after the first boss, or Kevin's [It Will Be Written]/Aponia's [Boundless Feeling] if you don't have Sleeper's Dream
Another character that really needs their PRI arm to work, I hope if they keep doing this they at least add a trial valkyrie option or something for lower level players to use. On the bright side, if you do have the PRI, she is very fun to play. Her fragments are also grindable in War Treasury, so there's at least something FTP players can do.
