Character Overview

  • Rarity: S-rank
  • Element: Chaos
  • Role: Main DPS (core damage dealer)
  • Source: Limited Banner (v1.1)

Skill Analysis

Normal Attack

Channels Chaos energy for ranged attacks with moderate frequency but high per-hit damage. Attacks have longer range, allowing safe distance output. Unlike other Chaos characters, Lacrimosa's normals apply armor-break, making them especially effective against bosses.

Elemental Skill (E)

Unleashes a Chaos energy shockwave in a frontal cone, dealing massive Chaos damage and applying a DoT that ticks for 5 seconds. Best used during boss vulnerability windows to maximize burst.

Elemental Burst (Q)

Lacrimosa's core nuke. Summons a massive Chaos entity that deals devastating AoE damage while granting the team a short Chaos damage boost. Use when enemies are grouped or during boss stagger phases for maximum output.

Passive Talent

Gains extra Crit Rate when another Chaos character is on the team. Each Chaos-related elemental reaction triggers a stacking damage buff (up to 5 stacks), making her output terrifying in Chaos reaction teams.

Team Compositions

T0 Team: Lacrimosa + Daffodil + Illica + Mint

Dual Chaos resonance with Daffodil as sub-DPS for additional armor break. Illica provides team-wide buffs. Mint handles healing and support. The strongest Chaos team in the current version.

F2P Team: Lacrimosa + Protagonist + Xiaozhi + Hotori

Protagonist triggers reactions. Xiaozhi (free from City Tycoon) provides support. Hotori buffs and groups enemies. Strong for the cost.

Hypercarry: Lacrimosa + Jiuyuan + Mint + Baicang

Full support built around Lacrimosa. Jiuyuan groups and heals, Baicang shields and CCs. Ideal for players concentrating resources.

Arc (Weapon) Recommendations

  • Best: The Last Rose (signature) — massive Crit DMG and Chaos damage boost
  • Alt: Kiroumaru — ATK and Crit Rate, versatile
  • Budget: Fangs and Claws — 5-star generic ATK arc
  • Priority: Crit Rate > Crit DMG > ATK% > Chaos DMG

Disk (Artifact) Setup

  • Best set: Fangs of the Rift 4-piece — purpose-built for Chaos DPS
  • Alt: 2+2 ATK + Crit Rate mix
  • Main stats: ATK% (hourglass) / Elemental DMG (cup) / Crit Rate (crown)
  • Substats: Crit Rate > Crit DMG > ATK% > Elemental Mastery

Awakening Priority

  1. 1A1: Ultimate multiplier boost (core transformation)
  2. 2A2: Enhanced E DoT duration and damage
  3. 3A3+: Nice-to-have, not required for F2P

Gameplay Tips

  1. 1Open with E to apply DoT, then normal attack for sustained damage
  2. 2Save burst for boss stagger phases — combine with attack buffs for doubled output
  3. 3Maintain passive stacks by continuously triggering Chaos reactions
  4. 4As a ranged character, keep distance to avoid interruption
  5. 5In dual-Chaos teams, the passive Crit Rate buff lets you shift disk substats toward Crit DMG

Build Priority

  1. 1Level to 40 first (unlocks all skills)
  2. 2Maximize signature arc level
  3. 3Get correct main stat disks, optimize substats gradually
  4. 4Skill levels: Burst > Skill > Normal

Verdict

The most worth-pulling limited character in v1.1. Incredible burst damage, excellent boss performance, and strong dual-Chaos synergy. If you missed Nanally, Lacrimosa is the best alternative. With Daffodil and Illica supporting, she clears all high-difficulty content with ease.
