Build Guide
Strengths
- Strong Main DPS with stacking DoT (Nightmare) that scales off ATK.
- Can copy enemy combat techniques and use them, adding flexibility.
- Works well in DoT-focused and Discord teams, triggering additional burst damage.
- Can switch between Melee and Ranged modes to adapt to different enemies.
- Has self-sustain through Awakening (Tempered Glass Judgement restores HP based on DoT damage).
- Signature Arc The Last Rose greatly boosts CRIT DMG and extends Broken state.
Weaknesses
- Nightmare DoT has a short base duration (3s without Awakening), requiring frequent reapplication.
- Relies on team support (Incantation/Psyche) to maximize damage through reactions like Scorch, Nova, and Discord.
- Skill copying requires learning enemy skills and swapping, adding complexity.
- Ultimate's total damage is similar in Melee and Ranged, but Melee has more hits for Crit Attacks, so mode choice matters.

Best Teams
Lacrimosa shines in a DoT-focused team with Incantation characters. Sakiri is a higher priority as she increases DoT damage. Haniel provides buffs and applies Nova. The last slot can be Daffodill for Breaking or Fadia for survivability. This team also functions as a Discord team, triggering additional damage.
Haniel Skill → Sakiri or Adler Skill → Fill up Cycle Energy → Swap to Lacrimosa (Scorch Trigger) → Lacrimosa Skill → Lacrimosa Basic Attack Combo (Stack Nightmare) → Lacrimosa Ultimate → Swap to Haniel (Nova and Discord Trigger) → Repeat Rotation.
Start by buffing with Haniel, then swap to an Incantation support (Sakiri or Adler) to apply buffs and build Cycle Energy. Swap to Lacrimosa to trigger Scorch and stack Nightmare with her attacks. Use her Skill and follow up with Basic Attacks. When Ultimate is ready, use it for burst damage. Swap to Haniel to trigger Nova and Discord, then repeat.
Skill Priority
Sweet and Sour (Basic Attack)
Improve Lacrimosa's Basic Attack damage.
Microwake (Support Skill)
Level her Support Skill last to increase her damage whenever she enters the stage and uses it.
Working Day Judgement (Ultimate)
Prioritize improving Lacrimosa's Ultimate to improve her damage output.
Morning Tomato (Skill)
Improving Present Replay increases its damage output, so prioritize leveling this up second.

Tips
- Start combat with a Psyche or Incantation character with full Cycle Energy so you can swap to Lacrimosa and immediately trigger Nova or Scorch.
- Before combat, swap Lacrimosa's skill to one of her recorded skills.
- Use Basic Attacks and Skills to apply Nightmare stacks on enemies; the DoT has a short duration, so reapply often.
- After using her Skill, follow up with a Basic Attack to perform the combo's final hit.
- Swap between Melee and Ranged mode based on the enemy; Melee for Crit Ripostes, Ranged for safe distance.
- Use her Ultimate as soon as it's available for large damage and more Nightmare stacks.
- Apply Discord as much as possible to benefit from her Discord Enhancement, dealing additional damage.
- Her Ultimate deals roughly the same total damage in both modes, but Melee has more hits, ideal for Crit Attacks.
- You can freely swap copied skills from the Character menu under Esper Abilities.
