Cipher Best Teams

Cipher — Any DPS + Asta + Lynx (F2P)

A free-to-play friendly composition. Use any DPS that benefits from Cipher's debuffs. Asta is a great F2P support for Cipher because of her SPD buff; Lynx provides healing/sustain.

Cipher + Acheron — Nihility Team (Jiaoqiu + Aventurine)

Cipher functions well as a Sub‑DPS and fast debuffer in an Acheron (Nihility) team. At E0 Acheron requires an additional Nihility unit to unlock full damage bonuses; at E2 you can include a Harmony unit instead. Use supports that boost Acheron's damage or provide DEF shred/skill points.

Cipher + Feixiao — Follow-up / Sub-DPS (Robin + Aventurine)

Cipher is an excellent Follow‑Up/Sub‑DPS for Feixiao (or other Follow‑up attackers) thanks to her frequent attacks and debuffs. Keep debuff uptime high (and artifacts/abilities like Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters active) to maximize Follow‑up effects.

Cipher + Archer (Sparkle + Permansor Terrae)

Cipher can act as a Sub‑DPS to Archer by generating Skill Points through Basic Attacks and applying debuffs. Sparkle supplies Party SP while Permansor Terrae buffs/shields the Main DPS.

Moreover, deals Quantum DMG equal to #1[i]% of Cipher's ATK to one designated enemy, and Quantum DMG equal to #2[i]% of Cipher's ATK to the adjacent targets.

Ultimate
Blast

Deals Quantum DMG equal to #1[i]% of Cipher's ATK to one designated enemy. Then, deals True DMG equal to #2[i]% of the current tally kept by Talent to the one designated enemy. Moreover, deals Quantum DMG equal to #4[i]% of Cipher's ATK alongside True DMG equal to #3[i]% of the current tally kept by Talent to the one designated enemy and its adjacent targets. And this True DMG is distributed evenly among all targets of this ability.

True DMG

Non-Type DMG that is not affected by any effects. This DMG is not considered as using 1 attack.

The Hospitable Dolosian
The Hospitable Dolosian
Talent
Single Target

When there are no enemy targets in the "Patron" state on the battlefield, Cipher immediately causes one enemy target with the highest Max HP on the battlefield to become the "Patron." When using Skill and Ultimate, the primary target becomes the "Patron." The "Patron" state only takes effect on the most recent target. After the "Patron" gets attacked by other ally targets, Cipher immediately launches Follow-Up ATK against the "Patron," dealing Quantum DMG equal to #1[i]% of Cipher's ATK. This effect can trigger up to #3[i] time(s) per turn, and this trigger count resets at the start of Cipher's turn. Cipher will tally #2[i]% of the non-True DMG dealt by ally targets to the "Patron." Overflow DMG will not be tallied. After using Ultimate, clears this tally.

Follow-Up ATK

Unleashes an extra attack on the target. This effect is triggered automatically when requirements are met.

True DMG

Non-Type DMG that is not affected by any effects. This DMG is not considered as using 1 attack.

Gains "Zagreus's Blessing" that lasts for #1[i] second(s). During this time, Cipher will be undetectable by enemies and her movement speed increases by 50%. When approaching an enemy in the overworld/Simulated Universe/Divergent Universe, can immediately gain a random Consumable. Consumables can be gained this way for up to #4[i] time(s) in each Earth day. When entering battle with "Zagreus's Blessing" active, deals Quantum DMG equal to #3[i]% of Cipher's ATK to all enemies. And the tallied amount Cipher gains from this instance of DMG increases by #2[i]%.
