The Lioness - Sekhmet

Overview:

Sekhmet is a strong Physical-element specialized support. Her own damage is decent, and there is also a DPS playstyle, but it is very dependent on the combat environment, being a continuous stationary DPS type.

The AI is quite good in a stationary fight, but when encountering a hyperactive BOSS, it will cause her to stand still and cast skills, so the AI’s damage output has a large gap between its upper and lower limits.

In summary, Sekhmet is a character with both DPS and support capabilities. Although her buffs are not as potent as Kuramitsuha’s, Sekhmet’s own damage is about three times that of hers, which can make up for this gap to a certain extent.

From what we’ve seen so far, as a Physical support, she is slightly inferior to the Yellow line Wadjet. The DPS playstyle is relatively stationary and requires good judgment, so it is generally not recommended to use her specifically as a DPS, unless you really have no other DPS available, in which case she can still put up a fight.

Sigil Recommendations:

• Support:

  • Slots 1, 3, 5: [Battle Cry of the Wild Sands].
  • Slots 2, 4, 6: [Acheron's Obol] or [Nibelungenlied].
    • The choice for positions 2, 4, 6 depends on personal needs. For pure support, choose [Nibelungenlied]. If used as a support+DPS hybrid, it is recommended to use [Acheron's Obol]

• DPS:

  • Slots 1, 3, 5: [Grove Whispers].
  • Slots 2, 4, 6: [Acheron's Obol].
    • This maximizes the main DPS’s damage, but the downside is a loss of Light Osi’s own damage. If a teammate can carry [Obelisk of Light], then the next set is recommended.

• Omega Sigils:

  • Slots 5, 6: [Ambush of the Owl] or [Sword of Roland] depending on the situation.

Sigil Enchants:

As a support, it is recommended to roll for more [Loopback]. Others can be rolled normally. Since the sigils and signature Functor provide Crit Rate, it is recommended to prioritize rolling for [Enraged]. Also, note that if you are manually controlling Sekhmet as a support, her ATK must not exceed the main DPS’s, otherwise the Ultimate’s buff will only be applied to yourself.

Aether Code Recommendations:

• Support: Use Yellow 3 Aether Code (War Lioness).
• DPS: Use Red 3 Aether Code (Holy Judge).

Signature Functor (Pharaoh - Semerkhet):

As a support, the signature Functor only provides an extra 12% Physical RES reduction and 10% Crit Rate for whole team. When the main DPS has low-tier enchants, the benefit is still considerable. However, when the enchants are at or near BiS, the stats from this signature Functor provide very little benefit, and ranking it up only increases Crit Rate by 2.5%, so the rank-up benefit is also very low.

It is recommended that if you don’t have the extra resources, there is no need to pull for this signature Functor. The generic 5-star Functor can be used as a substitute.

As a DPS, this signature Functor is relatively more crucial. Firstly, entering Modified Mode will reset Skill 3 and fully charge Divine Grace, allowing you to easily deal full damage in Modified Mode. It also gives you a large amount of Foe Shredder base damage bonus. In the Red line playstyle, Foe Shredder has the highest damage proportion, so the benefit will be much higher. However, the transcend benefit is not particularly high, so ranking it up depends purely on personal needs.

Playstyle:

For the support Yellow line Aether Code, you need to pay more attention to using Skill 1 and Skill 2 to charge the Ultimate. You need to dodge more and use Skill 3 for as long as possible to keep the enemy in a RES reduction state.

For the DPS Red line Aether Code, you need to flexibly use the two parts of Skill 1 and Skill 2 to block damage. Every block means the next burst. When Divine Grace is full, use Skill 3 to start sawing. Also, pay more attention to using enhanced attacks. Try not to let the Sunglint exceed its limit and go to waste, as this is the highest damage skill in the Red line’s kit.

Tip: When sawing the BOSS with Skill 3, you can cast a teammate’s solo Ultimate to get a three-second pseudo time-stop effect, which can allow your Skill 3 to deal full damage.

Stat Boost Priority:

• Stat Boost Priority: It is recommended to prioritize upgrading Skill 3, followed by Skill 1 and Skill 2. If you have extra resources, you can choose to upgrade her Ultimate and Normal Attack.
