This phase features the debut of new 5-star Spectro Gauntlet user Luuk Herssen as the limited banner headliner, alongside a rerun for powerful 5-star Fusion Pistol DPS Galbrena. The 4-star rate-up pool includes Sanhua, Lumi, and Yuanwu.
The weapon banner spotlights Daybreaker's Spine (Luuk's signature Gauntlets) and Lux & Umbra (Galbrena's signature Pistols). With both characters positioned as top-tier Main DPS options, deciding where to spend your Astrite requires evaluating their kits, weapon value, sequence upgrades, and team synergies.
Luuk Herssen: Aerial Spectro DPS Powerhouse
Luuk Herssen is a 5-star Spectro Gauntlet Main DPS specializing in high-mobility aerial Basic Attack combos and Tune Strain mechanics. He builds Ichor Flow through attacks to enter the Aureate Judge state, unleashing enhanced Resonance Skills like Aureole of Execution for massive Spectro damage. His playstyle emphasizes sustained field time, Dodge Counters, and team Tune Break support for optimal output.
Early calculations place Luuk as a strong contender in single-target scenarios, particularly with Tune Strain enablers. He excels at C0 and scales well without heavy investment.
Weapon Value
| Weapon | Ranking | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Daybreaker's Spine (Sig) | 100% | Basic ATK DMG +20%, Spectro DMG +20%, 10% DEF Ignore; perfect synergy |
| Pulsation Bracer | ~90-95% | Stacks Basic DMG on Tune Strain; strong F2P alternative |
| Blazing Justice | ~85% | DEF Ignore on Basics, Spectro boosts |
| Aether Strike (R5) | ~80% (4-star) | ATK and Lib DMG buffs |
Signature weapon provides ~10-15% DPS uplift; viable without it using standard Gauntlets.
Sequence Value
| Sequence | Value | Key Upgrade |
|---|---|---|
| S0 | Baseline | Strong aerial DPS |
| S1 | Good | +150% Mid-air DMG, extra stacks |
| S2 | Great | +60% Lib DMG, doubles Interfered scaling |
| S6 | God-tier | Team Tune Breaks amp damage up to 120%+ |
S1-S2 offer smooth improvements; full investment for endgame.
Best Teams
- Premium Tune Strain: Luuk / Lynae / Mornye
- F2P Hypercarry: Luuk / Sanhua / Shorekeeper
Pull Verdict: Pull Luuk if lacking Spectro DPS or Tune Strain teams. C0 + Sig is ideal, but C0 alone competes in meta.
Galbrena: Versatile Fusion Burst Queen
Galbrena, a 5-star Fusion Pistol Main DPS, transforms into Demon Hypostasis for empowered Basics, Heavies, and Dodge Counters. She builds Sinflame and Afterflame for self-buffs up to 60% DMG Amp, excelling in Mono-Fusion or Echo Skill teams. T0/T1 tier across sources for bossing.
Weapon Value
| Weapon | Ranking | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Lux & Umbra (Sig) | 100% | 24% HA/Echo Amp (mutual), 8% DEF Ignore |
| Phasic Homogenizer | 91.8% | 20% All DMG on teammate Break |
| The Last Dance | 84.3% | 48% Resonance Skill DMG |
| Solar Flame (R5) | 77% | BP option, stacking ATK/HA DMG |
Signature gap is notable (~8-15%); alternatives viable but lower ceiling.
Sequence Value
| Sequence | Value | Key Upgrade |
|---|---|---|
| S0 | Baseline | Top Fusion DPS |
| S1 | Good | 80% Crit DMG on transformed skills |
| S2 | Great | 350% more ATK from Burning Drive |
| S4 | Great | 20% team DMG on Echo Skills |
| S6 | Amazing | +60% multipliers, 35% Fusion Amp |
Strong scaling; S2/S4 team carries.
Best Teams
- Premium: Galbrena / Qiuyuan / Shorekeeper
- Mono Fusion: Galbrena / Lupa / Brant
- F2P: Galbrena / Mortefi / Verina
Pull Verdict: Rerun makes her low-risk; pull if no top Fusion DPS. Sig highly recommended for peak performance.
