Best Teams

Baicang Scorch-Discord Team

Baicang serves as main Incantation DPS with Daffodill as sub-DPS, Sakiri or Haniel as buffer, and a flexible support slot (Adler, Jiuyuan, or Fadia).

Start with shielder or mitigation, then buffer skills and ultimates, then sub-DPS, then swap to Baicang

Baicang uses his skill and basic attacks to apply Silence or Objurgate, then activates Ultimate

During Ultimate, use basic attacks to stack Bless and heal, then swap out when timer ends

  • Scorch is recommended due to Baicang's long field time
  • Ensure team has at least 3 different Esper Types for A Time Will Come arc if used

How to Play

Baicang should go last in team rotation. Start with Formless and Unrestrained Words from dodge, then use Silenced Thought (single-target) or Such Crime (AoE). Activate Ultimate and spam basic attacks to stack Bless for healing. Swap to supports when Ultimate ends.

Rotations

  1. 1 Prerequisite team rotation: Shielder/Mitigation Skill → Buffer Skill → Buffer Ultimate → Sub-DPS Skill → Sub-DPS Ultimate → Swap to Baicang
  2. 2 AoE combo: Baicang Skill → Basic Attack → Hold Basic Attack → Alt Skill (AoE) → Ultimate → Basic Attack x3 → Dodge Attack → Skill when available
  3. 3 Single-target combo: Baicang Skill → Basic Attack → Standard Dodge → Alt Skill (Single-Target) → Ultimate → Basic Attack x3 → Dodge Attack → Skill when available

Tips

  • Dodge gives access to special attacks: Formless Words (moving) and Unrestrained Words (stationary)
  • His Skill has three forms: basic Heart of Heaven and Earth, Silenced Thought (single-target), and Such Crime (AoE)
  • During Ultimate, enemies below 10% HP (5% for bosses) can be instantly killed
  • Team with Anima or Chaos characters for Hexed or Scorch; Scorch is better for long field time
  • Bless heal on every 3 basic attacks during Ultimate
  • Good solo potential due to self-sufficiency
