Character Overview

  • Rarity: S-rank
  • Element: Lakshana
  • Role: Buff Support
  • Source: Standard / Limited Banner

Skill Analysis

Normal Attack

Mid-speed melee with附 Lakshana damage. Not the core value of a support character.

Elemental Skill (E)

Grants the active main DPS both ATK and Crit DMG buffs for 12 seconds while restoring their energy. One of the highest buff values among comparable skills.

Elemental Burst (Q)

Restores large amounts of energy to the entire team and provides an 8-second team-wide Crit Rate boost. The key skill for accelerating team rotations.

Passive Talent

Each Lakshana teammate boosts Illica's energy restoration by 10%. Illica also takes 15% reduced damage (support survivability).

Team Compositions

Chaos Team: Chaos + Hathor + Illica + Mint

Triple Lakshana resonance. Illica's buffs + energy regen help Chaos enter Overload faster. Strongest Lakshana team.

Hathor Team: Hathor + any sub-DPS + Illica + Mint

Illica's buffs perfectly complement Hathor's charged burst playstyle.

Universal: Any main DPS + Illica + Mint + grouper

Illica's buffs are element-agnostic — fits anywhere.

Arc (Weapon) Recommendations

  • Best: Signature arc (TBD) — support effectiveness + energy regen
  • Alt: Fangs and Claws — generic 5-star
  • Alt: Transforming Cross-Shield — extra defense and support
  • Priority: Energy Recharge > ATK% > HP%

Disk (Artifact) Setup

  • Best set: Berserker's Fury 4-piece — hybrid support/DPS
  • Alt: 2+2 Energy Recharge + ATK mix
  • Main stats: ATK% (hourglass) / Elemental DMG (cup) / Crit Rate (crown)
  • Substats: Crit Rate > Crit DMG > ATK% > Elemental Mastery

Awakening Priority

  1. 1A1: E buff effectiveness大幅提升
  2. 2A2: Q energy restoration increased
  3. 3A3+: Not required

Gameplay Tips

  1. 1Cast E to buff main DPS right before their burst window
  2. 2E's 12-second duration ensures main DPS deals maximum damage within the window
  3. 3Cast Q when teammates' bursts are almost off cooldown to accelerate rotations
  4. 4Illica doesn't need extended field time — swap, cast, swap out
  5. 5Leverage passive energy bonus in dual/triple Lakshana teams

Verdict

One of the best buff supports in the current version. Targeted buffs + team energy restoration makes her valuable in any team. If you need to boost your main DPS's burst damage and rotation speed, Illica is the top pick.
