Blackbird
Blackbird is an extremely flexible Psyche Esper who can serve as either an on-field carry or an off-field Sub-DPS/Support. Her kit applies Forsaken Feather to trigger coordinated attacks while her Ultimate shifts her into Witch of Deliverance for a high personal damage ceiling. She also provides an instant Esper Cycle and a teamwide ATK buff, giving her value even when she is not the main damage dealer. Build her for Psyche DMG%, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Universal DMG%, and ATK% when using her as a DPS, or add Cycle Intensity for reaction-focused support.
Build Guide
Strengths
- Extremely flexible Psyche Esper who can be an on-field carry or off-field Sub-DPS/Support.
- Applies Forsaken Feather to trigger coordinated attacks from off-field.
- Ultimate shifts her into Witch of Deliverance for a devastating personal damage ceiling.
- Provides instant Esper Cycle with Netherplume Rite.
- Brings a teamwide ATK buff, adding value even when not the main damage dealer.
Weaknesses
- Personal damage is heavily tied to Ultimate uptime and spending Malice during Witch of Deliverance.
- Best performance often depends on reaction teams and her signature Arc/Cartridge.
- Support builds trade away a noticeable amount of her personal damage.
- Requires careful rotation timing to avoid wasting Stain or Malice windows.
Best Arcs
Twinflight: Increases Cycle Intensity by 72. Increases the wearer's Psyche DMG by 20%. After the wearer casts an Ultimate, increases the team's CRIT DMG by 16% and the wearer's by an additional 32% for 15s.
Morphix: Increases Charge Efficiency by 18%. After the wearer casts an Ultimate, increases Team ATK by 10% for 20s. Increases Team ATK by an additional 6% if enemies are controlled by the Ultimate.

Best Teams
Blackbird excels when leading a Stain team alongside Chaos and Hathor, giving her consistent access to the reaction through their Lakshana application. Esper Zero rounds out the team with another Instant Esper Cycle, making Stain easier to trigger while keeping field time open for Blackbird.
Set up Chaos, Hathor, and Zero before committing to Blackbird's on-field damage.
Use Netherplume Rite to apply Forsaken Feather and instantly fill the Cycle gauge.
Trigger Stain, then bring Blackbird back in and cast Requies Animarum to enter Witch of Deliverance.
Spend Malice with Pyreflame and Flames of Deliverance before recasting Ultimate for Flammae in Unum.
Blackbird also slots naturally into a Nova team featuring Lacrimosa, where she contributes immense off-field damage without taking too much time away from Lacrimosa. Her Forsaken Feather coordinated attacks continue after she swaps out, while her Psyche application gives Lacrimosa consistent access to Nova.
Use Blackbird's off-field coordinated attacks to keep damage going while Lacrimosa stays on-field.
Apply Psyche to give Lacrimosa consistent access to Nova.
Swap Blackbird back in when her Ultimate is ready to use Witch of Deliverance for a stronger personal damage window.
Use Daffodill's Break to create stagger windows for both DPS characters.
Skill Priority
Judgment Upon Me (Support Skill)
Lowest priority since most of Blackbird's damage comes from other skills. It still grants Malice and changes into Naught but Mercy during Witch of Deliverance, so a few levels are worthwhile after the rest of her kit is leveled.
Fleeting Shadow (Basic Attack)
Worth investing in because it helps Blackbird stack Malice before transforming. In Witch of Deliverance it changes into Pyreflame and follow-up attacks, increasing its value when she is used as a Main DPS.
Requies Animarum (Ultimate)
Prioritize first because it activates Witch of Deliverance, where a large portion of Blackbird's personal damage comes from. It also gives the team an ATK buff, and recasting it triggers Flammae in Unum for another burst of Psyche DMG.
Netherplume Rite (Redirect Skill)
Equally important for her rotation. It applies Forsaken Feather, immediately fills the Cycle gauge, and lets teammates trigger Forsaken Bird coordinated attacks after Blackbird leaves the field.
How to Play
Blackbird applies Forsaken Feather for off-field coordinated attacks and transforms through her Ultimate into Witch of Deliverance for high personal damage. Set up team buffs and reactions first, use Netherplume Rite to instantly fill the Esper Cycle, then spend Malice during Witch of Deliverance before recasting Ultimate to trigger Flammae in Unum.
Rotations
- 1Chaos Doubtmark → Zero Redirect Skill → Swap to Hathor/Chaos to trigger Remora → Blackbird Basic Attacks as needed → Netherplume Rite → Swap to Chaos/Hathor to trigger Stain → Quick Skill/Attack → Swap to Blackbird → Requies Animarum → Pyreflame Full Combo → Ferrying Deathfire → Continue Malice-enhanced attacks → Flammae in Unum → Refresh Chaos/Hathor/Zero → Repeat
Tips
- Start by setting up reactions or team buffs before committing to Blackbird's on-field damage.
- Use Netherplume Rite to gain Malice, apply Forsaken Feather, and instantly fill the Cycle gauge.
- Swap out after Netherplume Rite and attack the marked enemy to trigger Forsaken Bird coordinated attacks.
- Build Malice before transforming so you can use more enhanced attacks during Witch of Deliverance.
- Spend remaining Malice before ending Witch of Deliverance, then recast Ultimate for Flammae in Unum.
- Refresh Forsaken Feather with Netherplume Rite once it is ready and repeat the setup.
