Elysia - Herrscher of Humanity Guide

Hey there mate! I am Koohii, I guess you don’t know me since this I rarely make a guide. However, leave it aside, this is the day for our newest "Herrscher" - Herrscher of Humanity

( I am gonna call her Pinky from now on since her whole moveset is bathed in pink)

Ok! so first thing first, Pinky is an Ice DPS base S ( Good luck with the Gacha mah friend), and as for a Herrscher, her powerspike is pretty great even with the base rank, but if u can get ger to S2, the damage can be increased slightly with her new passive:

As for now, her best team comp is to go with Haxxor Bunny + Reverist Calico. However, we can use Azure Empyrean instead of RC, depending on your gears

Note: Jin Shengtan is pretty good when going along with HB, otherwise I don't recommend it on RC unless you are good at setting up the timer for the debuff.

Playstyle

Her playstyle revolves around two forms: Herrscher of Human and Herrscher of Origin (Burst mode)

1.1. Herrscher of Human.

Charged Attack + Weapon Skill:

Hold the attack button to trigger, after that she will transform her bow into a ballista and start shooting HUGE bolts into enemies, each deals damage and inflicts 1 stack of Pristine Seed, max at 3.

When the number of Pristine Seed reached max ( shown above enemies), the enemies will be immobilized for a short time, after that, we can use our WEAPON SKILL to detonate the seed, reduce the number of seeds from 3 to 1; if not using WEAPON SKILL, it will still be reduced to 1 after a short time even if you continue using your Charged Attack.

That is it for her 1st form's playstyle: Charged Attack for 3 bolts, use WEAPON SKILL to detonate it, then Charged for 2 bolts, then detonate again, Charged for 2 bolts, detonate, etc... ( It is just a loop until your weapon has no more charge eft)

1.2. Herrscher of Origin.

Charged Attack + Weapon Skill (but faster):

Tapping the Ultimate button in Herrscher of Human mode will transform her into Herrscher of Origin, immediately reset Weapon CD ( now has only 1 charge). In this mode, all you need to do is spam the ATK button until your gauge filled up to full and then hold it to release your Charged Atk - Summoning a giant Stingray.

Charged Atk in this mode also reset Weapon CD, so the core playstyle is still spamming ATK button, wait for the gauge to fill up, use Weapon Skill (3 Weapon skill and 2 Charged Atk is the maximum in this mode since it just lasts 17s, after that, she will automatically use her Finisher)

Note: There is no gauge in Human mode, this gauge only appears in Origin mode

And yes she also summons A LOT of Pink Stringray, so take care of your phone, will ya?

2. Evasion - QTE

2.1. Herrscher of Human.

When an ally consumed more than 100SP in 1 go, her QTE will be automatically triggered, that is why she synergies with HB, RC, and AE so well

And yes she can trigger ultimate evasion with non-ultimate evasions like HoF or KmB.

QTE will inflict 3 stacks of Pristine Seeds and also trigger ultimate invasion right after use.

After ultimate invasion, the next Charged Atk within 10s will immediately inflict 3 stacks of Pristine Seeds. This means you can use QTE then Weapon Skill to detonate the Seeds, then use Charged Atk only once for another 3 Seeds, blow it up with your Weapon Skill again.

2.2. Herrscher of Origin.

Evasion in this mode creates a black hole that gathers enemies and lasts for 5s. Nothing too special, you can use it at the beginning of this form.

3. How to maximize Damage Output.

The Pink one is OPTIONAL ( I don't recommend to do this if you only have Jin or Blood Dance)

Don't do this with Jin Shengtan stigmata in your comps

||

V

QTE => Weapon skill => [ Charged Atk ( once) => Weapon skill ]=> Ultimate => Weapon skill => Spamming Atk => Charged Atk => Weapon Skill => Spamming Atk => Charged Attack => Weapon Skill => Ultimate

(If u r using HB in the team comp, her QTE will be ready 2 times in Elysia's Origin mode, the 1st one is right after your first charged ATK and the 2nd is right after your 3rd weapon skill, right before Elysia's Origin mode end, remember to use her QTE right at these time to increase even more damage)

4. Weapon.

I will only talk about the replacement for her signature here

Actually, we don't have many things to say here, the best weapon to temporarily replace her signature weapon is the Obscuring Wing (Raven's weapon) or else you just wanna give her the one that has the highest ATK.

The second place is Call of Crescent.

Original Elysia's signature weapon ( And the PRI-arm version of it) is pretty good, it adds a small amount of damage for our Charged Atk

I DO NOT recommend using Flare since we need to use our weapon skills a lot, this one is better when going with support.

5. Stigmata.

Here is a list of viable stigmata for HoH

You can use full set of Welt (1st), Anna (2nd) or Robert (3rd), or 2 pieces, depending on your gear ~~

CONCLUSION:

Pros:

As a new Herrscher DPS, she is kinda easy to master but she still deals a TON of damage. The best thing is she is not too reliant on her signature gear, so you don't need to worry that your luck will f*** you up .Her skill effect is brilliant, very eye-catching, plus with the whale sound ( I know I know her summoned entity is a Stringray)

Cons:

She needs her ultimate to maximize output damage, which means when you don't have enough SP, the only way you can do damage is to spam the Ballista combo in Herrscher of Human mode, it deals decent damage but is far from the rotation with her ultimate on. ( Her kit give her a lot of SP regen but in some case, that can happen)

Know what u r doing, her combo is very flashy, so sometimes u can't even see what she is doing ( remember the combo to maximize her damage output?) you need to pay attention to the weapon skill, when it's glowing, it is the time when the seeds are at 3 stacks and ready to be detonated.

About her gear supply, in my opinion, you need her weapon the most, since it is the only one that can deal much more Ice damage than the others, and I recommend you to wait for the Anniversary leak first, who knows, maybe there will be some great stuff there and you can keep your poor crystal with you through Elysia banner.

And yeh this is the end of my guide, hope you enjoy it and thanks for following me till the end, I'm sorry for any inconvenient about my English since it is not my mother tounges but yeh, have a nice day, cya, fellows
