Cipher Best Teams

Cipher — Asta (F2P)

F2P-friendly team. Use any DPS that benefits from Cipher's debuffs. Asta is a strong free-to-play support for Cipher because she increases SPD, which Cipher relies on.

Cipher — Acheron

Cipher functions as a Sub‑DPS and speedy debuffer in Acheron teams, helping to build Slashed Dream stacks. If Acheron is E0 you need another Nihility unit to unlock Acheron's full damage buff; at E2 Acheron only requires one other Nihility, allowing Harmony or other picks.

Cipher — Feixiao

Cipher works well as a Sub‑DPS / Follow‑up enabler for Feixiao (or Dr. Ratio). Keep supports that increase Follow‑up uptime and stack debuffs — ideal if the team maintains Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters / Follow‑up uptime for optimal damage.

Cipher — Archer

Cipher is a strong Sub‑DPS for Archer: her Basic Attacks help generate Skill Points for Archer while applying useful debuffs. Sparkle helps with SP generation and DMG buffs; Permansor Terrae supports Archer's damage through shields/ATK increases.

Blast

Has a 1.2% base chance to Weaken one designated enemy and its adjacent targets (decreasing their DMG dealt by 0.1%) and increases Cipher's ATK by 0.3%, lasting for 2 turn(s). Moreover, deals Quantum DMG equal to 1% of Cipher's ATK to one designated enemy, and Quantum DMG equal to 0.5% of Cipher's ATK to the adjacent targets.

Base Chance

Ultimate
Blast

Deals Quantum DMG equal to 0.6% of Cipher's ATK to one designated enemy. Then, deals True DMG equal to 0.25% of the current tally kept by Talent to the one designated enemy. Moreover, deals Quantum DMG equal to 0.2% of Cipher's ATK alongside True DMG equal to 0.75% 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.

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 0.75% of Cipher's ATK. This effect can trigger up to 1 time(s) per turn, and this trigger count resets at the start of Cipher's turn. Cipher will tally 0.12% 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 15 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 50 time(s) in each Earth day. When entering battle with "Zagreus's Blessing" active, deals Quantum DMG equal to 1% of Cipher's ATK to all enemies. And the tallied amount Cipher gains from this instance of DMG increases by 2%.
