Sun Cradle - Xihe

Overview:

Jinwu’s teacher, also a long battle god. Her ramp-up depends on the hyperactivity of the boss, usually completing within 10-20 seconds. However, she needs to ramp up again when facing double bosses. After ramping up, her dps is very high, and the playstyle is simple and straightforward. She is currently not bound to a skillchain, but she needs to be used with Lingguang; otherwise, if her combo chain is interrupted, it will severely affect her damage.

Sigil Recommendations:

• Standard DPS Build:

  • Slots 1, 3, 5: [Primordial Sun].
  • Slots 2, 4, 6: [Dawn of the Heavenly Path].
  • Omega sigils:
    • Replace slots 5, 6 with [Ambush of the Owl].

Aether Code Recommendations:

Currently it is recommended to prioritize DPS builds and choose the Red Aether Code line. If you insist on playing as a support, you can choose the Blue Aether Code line.

Warp Recommendations:

• Standard Build:

  • Slots 1 & 2: [Power UP: Ranged] + [Evolution Particle I]. Without her Signature Functor, replace [Evolution Particle I] with [The Judge] + [The Executioner]. At SSS, you can take one [Telekinesis Vector I].

  • Slots 3 & 4: [EM Flux] + [Telepathize Forcefield I].

  • Slots 5 & 6: [Evolution Particle III] + [Aether Shatter].

    • When paired with Skuld, replace [Aether Shatter] with [Current Decay].
    • At SSS, [Evolution Particle III] can be replaced with a combination of [Evolution Particle III] + [Telekinesis Vector III].

Signature Functor (Otherworlder - Sanzhui):

Highly recommended; otherwise, ramp-up and re-ramp-up will be slow. Moreover, the initial values provided by the Exclusive Functor are high enough to be significantly stronger than general Functors. However, the gains from transcendence are mediocre, so it is not necessary to pull for higher ranks.

Stat Boost Priority:

• Skill 3 > Skill 1 > Skill 2 / Normal Attack. If not using a Skillchain, you essentially don’t need to level the Ultimate Skill.

DPS Rotation:

Ramp-up without Exclusive Functor: 5 Normal Attacks (or 4 Normal Attacks + Dodge to cancel backswing) - Long press Normal Attack - Skill 3 to open field - Skill 3 - Skill 1 - 5 Normal Attacks - Skill 2 - 5 Normal Attacks - Skill 1 - 5 Normal Attacks.

Ramp-up with Exclusive Functor: 5 Normal Attacks (or 4 Normal Attacks + Dodge to cancel backswing) - Long press Normal Attack - Skill 3 to open field - Skill 3 - Skill 1 - 5 Normal Attacks.

After ramp-up: Use skills as they become available (tap whatever lights up); when no skills are available, spam Normal Attacks (just like Jinwu; as expected of the teacher, she only teaches the real deal).

Team Recommendations:

Solo Carry: Lingguang + Skuld / EK CHUAH / S-Rank Hera / Gengchen / Ookuninushi. Dual Carry: Lingguang + Jinwu / EK CHUAH / Gengchen. If Jinwu has her Exclusive Functor, it is suggested to let the AI control Xihe while you manually play Jinwu.
