Character Overview
Lucilla is a top-tier 5-star Glacio DPS who utilizes Glacio DMG and Glacio Frazzle mechanics. As the Magistrate of Jinzhou, she commands powerful Glacio energy through her Rectifier, dealing massive area-of-effect damage while applying the Glacio Frazzle status to enemies.
Her unique mechanic revolves around building Incandescence stacks through her Normal Attacks and Resonance Skill, then consuming them to unleash devastating Resonance Liberation damage. At S0, she is already one of the strongest DPS characters in the game, with her power scaling excellently into higher Resonance Chains.
Lucilla excels in both Tower of Adversity and Whimpering Wastes content, providing consistent high damage output with strong burst potential during her Liberation windows.
