Weapons

BEST IN SLOT

Solsworn Ciphers

5-Star | Crit Rate Substat

Signature weapon. Grants 12% Echo Skill DMG Bonus. Casting Intro Skill gives Cipher Marking (+24% Echo Skill DMG for 12s). Casting Resonance Skill gives Ethereal Endowment (+24% Echo Skill DMG for 12s). Perfectly synergizes with her kit.

ALT 5-Star

Blazing Justice

5-Star | ATK% Substat

Strong alternative 5-star weapon. Increases ATK by 12% and Echo Skill DMG by 24% (stacks 2x) after Intro/Liberation. Good ATK stick if you need more ATK.

F2P

Aether Strike

4-Star | ATK% Substat

Best craftable 4-star option. Provides consistent ATK% and good base stats. Easy to obtain and refine for free-to-play players.

F2P

Stonard

4-Star | Crit Rate Substat

Alternative 4-star option. Increases Crit Rate by 4% when dealing Echo Skill damage for 7s, stacking up to 5 times. Good for Echo Skill-focused builds.

Echoes (Sonata Effects)

Best Set: 5-piece Sound of True Name (increases Aero DMG)

Alternative: 2-piece Sound of True Name + 2-piece Lingering Tunes (if substats are better)

Slot	Main Echo	Main Stat Priority
Cost 4	Nameless Explorer	Crit Rate% or Crit DMG%
Cost 3	Any Aero Echo	Aero DMG%
Cost 3	Any Aero Echo	Aero DMG%
Cost 1	Any Echo	ATK%
Cost 1	Any Echo	ATK%

Substats Priority

Crit Rate% > Crit DMG% > ATK% > Resonance Liberation DMG% > Energy Regen%

Aim for 70-80% Crit Rate before stacking Crit DMG. Nameless Explorer (main echo) provides buffs after summoning, so prioritize using it before her burst combo.

3. Skill Analysis

Normal Attack: Rune Strike Priority: Medium

Performs up to 4 consecutive Aero DMG attacks. The 4th attack deals increased damage. During Enhanced State (after Intro Skill or complete Basic Attack chain), her attacks are enhanced and count as Echo Skill DMG.

Use this to build up to her enhanced state. The 4-hit combo is important for transitioning into her burst window.

Resonance Skill: Ominous Gust Priority: HIGHEST

Dash forward dealing Aero DMG. Available during Rune Strike state. Enhanced version after completing Enhanced Basic Attack chain. Consumes Runes for bonus damage. After use, grants Unison effect, allowing her to trigger Outro Skill without Concerto Energy.

This is her core damage source. The Unison effect enables incredibly quick team rotations - use this, then immediately swap to your next character.

Resonance Liberation: Storm Epiphany Priority: High

Invokes the power of Aero to deal massive AoE Aero DMG. This is her burst ability, best used when all buffs are active and she has high Runes.

Use this during her main burst window, ideally after building up Runes and with Nameless Explorer echo buff active.

Forte Circuit: Rune System Priority: High

Sigrika gains Runes when party members deal Attribute Damage or Coordinated Attacks (1 stack per second, max 40). She can consume Runes to enhance her attacks. At 40 Runes, teammates gain Eras in Unity, enhancing their attacks.

The more different attributes in your team, the faster she builds Runes. This is why she works well with diverse teams.

Intro Skill: Aero's Halo Priority: Medium

Deals Aero DMG when switching into Sigrika. Triggers her Enhanced State, enabling her enhanced attack combo.

Always try to switch to Sigrika with Intro Skill active to start her enhanced combo immediately.

Skill Level Priority

Basic Attack > Resonance Skill > Resonance Liberation > Forte Circuit > Intro Skill

4. Team Compositions

Sigrika's Forte Circuit benefits from having multiple different attributes in the team. The more diverse your team, the faster she builds stacks.

Best-in-Slot Team

Sigrika (DPS) Qiuyuan (Sub-DPS) Shorekeeper (Support)

Qiuyuan provides off-field damage and applies debuffs. Shorekeeper offers healing and buffs. This team covers 3 attributes (Aero/Sub-DPS/Support) for fast Rune generation.

High Damage Alternative

Sigrika (DPS) Zhezhi (Sub-DPS) Shorekeeper (Heal)

Zhezhi provides Echo Skill synergy and buffs. Shorekeeper heals and provides buffs. Strong damage output with good survivability.

F2P Friendly Team

Sigrika (DPS) Aalto (Sub-DPS/Heal) Baizhi (Heal)

Aalto at RC6 provides healing and good damage. Baizhi is a free 4-star healer available to all players. Budget but effective for all content.

Rotation Tips

Start with Support skills (apply buffs/debuffs with Sub-DPS and Support)
Switch to Sigrika using Intro Skill to enter enhanced state
Complete Enhanced Basic Attack chain (4 hits)
Use Resonance Skill
Complete another Basic Attack chain
Use Enhanced Resonance Skill (consumes stacks)
Use Resonance Liberation if available
With Unison active, switch to next character immediately
Repeat when Concerto Energy is ready

5. Resonance Chain (Sequence Nodes)

Abyssal Ascension: When casting Basic Attack or Ominous Gust, gain 1 stack of Herald of Revival (max 4, lasts 6s). When casting Storm Epiphany, consume all stacks - each stack increases its DMG by 20% (up to +80% total).

Chronofrost Repose: Recovers 40 Runes after being out of combat for 4+ seconds. Triggers once every 4 seconds. Excellent for quick-swap playstyle.

Celestial Incarnate: Gain 12 Runes and 1 stack of Immortal's Descendancy after Intro Skill. Each stack increases ATK by 25% (max 2 stacks, lasts 20s).

Benevolent Grace: When casting Liberation or Storm Epiphany, all nearby teammates gain +20% Attribute DMG Bonus for 20s. Team-wide buff.

Frostfire Illumination: Liberation (Storm Epiphany) DMG Multiplier increased by 120%. Massive burst damage spike.

Thawing Triumph: Storm Epiphany DMG Multiplier increased by 45%. Rune consumption bonus increased by 71%. Maximum power spike.

Worth Pulling?

S1 is the sweet spot for most players (+80% skill damage is huge). S2 is excellent for quick-swap teams. S4 makes her a team buffer. S6 is whale territory but transforms her into the highest DPS in the game.

7. Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sigrika worth building without her signature weapon? ▼

Yes. Sigrika performs well even without Solsworn Ciphers. The 4-star craftable 'Aether Strike' or 'Stonard' provide about 70-75% of her signature weapon's damage, which is still enough to clear all endgame content.

What is the minimum Resonance Chain needed? ▼

S0 is completely viable. S1 provides a massive damage boost to her Echo Skill. S2 improves her rune generation. S4 is excellent for sustained damage. S6 is whale territory but provides the highest DPS ceiling.

Should I prioritize Crit Rate or Crit DMG? ▼

Aim for a 1:2 ratio with Crit Rate around 70-80%. It's better to have consistent crits than occasional huge numbers. If using Solsworn Ciphers (Crit Rate substat), you can focus more on Crit DMG in your echoes.

How does Sigrika compare to other Aero DPS? ▼

Sigrika is unique because all her damage is classified as Echo Skill damage, making her build differently from other Aero DPS. She has higher burst potential but requires more careful rotation management.

What team composition is best for F2P players? ▼

Sigrika + Aalto + Baizhi is the best F2P team. All supporting characters are free or farmable, and it covers all content comfortably.
