Passive Talents

Eternal Speculation Engine

Ascension Phase 1

Radiance: Stellar Glimmer: When using the Elemental Skill Formule Phenomenale: Differential Analysis, if Fagio's Decoding Power is greater than 50, the second Prism Shot fired by Fagio at nearby opponents will deal 400% of its original DMG as Fagio's Decoding Power is decreased.
Additionally, for every 10 points of Decoding Power Fagio loses, it gains 1 stack of Refined Tactics for 60s (max 10 stacks). When Sandrone uses the Elemental Burst Formule Phenomenale: Q.E.D. while in the Radiance: Stellar Glimmer state, all stacks of Refined Tactics are cleared, causing the Convective Inhibition Ray to deal 100% + (number of stacks cleared) × 10% of its original DMG.

A Lady's Code of Conduct

Ascension Phase 4

Increases Sandrone's Elemental Mastery based on her ATK. Every 100 ATK will increase her Elemental Mastery by 8. The maximum increase she can gain this way is 160.

Stellar Jubilee: Light of Rationalisme

Passive

Sandrone will enter the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct state when she is inside a Polestar Field, or the Radiance: Stellar Swirl state for 8s after a nearby party member triggers a Stellar Swirl reaction.
When a party member triggers a Superconduct or Cryo Swirl reaction, it becomes a Stellar-Conduct or Stellar Swirl reaction instead, and the Base DMG of the aforementioned reaction is also increased by 0.7% for every 100 points of Sandrone's ATK. A maximum increase of 14% can be obtained in this way.

A Caucus Prelude and a Long Tale

Passive

When Sandrone is in the party, you will gain additional snack rewards after turning in your Daily Commissions with Katheryne.

Constellations

Morrow After the Golden Dusk

When in Decoding mode, Fagio's Decoding Power increases at a 50% lower rate, and all party members deal 30% increased Stellar Glimmer reaction DMG.

An Heiress Gazed Into the Looking-Glass

Radiance: Stellar Glimmer: Increases CRIT DMG from Charged Attack condensed beams by 40%. Also, each time a beam is fired, CRIT DMG dealt by all condensed beams fired during this Decoding mode period will be further increased by 20%. Max 3 stacks.

Refuse the Wake of Dusk, the Moonlit Yoke

Increases the Level of Formule Phenomenale: Self-Evident Proposition by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.

In Knowledge Lies the World's True Ground

When Sandrone deals Stellar-Conduct or Stellar Swirl DMG to an opponent, she will also summon an extra Prismatic Resonance Cannon to fire off a coordinated attack which deals Cryo DMG at 125% or 187.5% of her ATK, respectively. This DMG is considered the corresponding Stellar Glimmer reaction DMG, and the effect can occur once every 4s.

Of All Beside, She Takes No Part

Increases the Level of Formule Phenomenale: Q.E.D. by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.

Narcissus Wakes, Her Eyes Upon the Dawn

When Fagio fires a condensed beam for the third time while in Decoding mode, the beam becomes a more powerful Condensed Cluster Beam that fires continuously. This beam will deal up to 4 additional instances of AoE Cryo DMG at 100% of Sandrone's ATK on top of any subsequent original beam fired.
Radiance: Stellar Glimmer: The Condensed Cluster Beam attack deals 4 additional instances of AoE Cryo DMG. The DMG dealt with this attack, which is considered the corresponding Stellar Glimmer reaction DMG, is equal to:
Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: 80% of Sandrone's ATK.
Radiance: Stellar Swirl: 120% of Sandrone's ATK.
Additionally, all Stellar Glimmer reaction DMG dealt by Sandrone is elevated by 20%.

Outfits

Clockwork Maiden's Waltz

Default

Sandrone's outfit. Having been reborn, she has decided to make herself a new outfit. A new person certainly merits a new dress. Naturally, such an undertaking cannot fail to incorporate a lady's refinement, elegance, and magnanimity... Ah, yes. And perhaps a prayer that it shall remain undamaged in battle, and unstained by coffee or tea, would not be remiss.
