Character Overview

  • Element: Fusion
  • Weapon: Pistol
  • Role: Main DPS (Echo Skill and Heavy Attack-focused)
  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Playstyle: Galbrena accumulates Sinflame in her default Threshold State through basic attacks, heavy attacks, mid-air attacks, and resonance skills to reach 100 points and enter Demon Hypostasis for amplified damage. In Demon Hypostasis, she consumes Purging Flame (converted from Sinflame) on hits, with Afterflame providing up to 60% DMG bonus. She builds Afterflame via team Echo Skills in Threshold State. Her kit emphasizes cycling between states, managing resources like STA and Purging Flame, and leveraging Echo Skill and Heavy Attack DMG amplification. Demon Hypostasis ends when Purging Flame depletes or after 50s.

Her stats prioritize Crit DMG, ATK, and DMG bonuses for Echo Skills and Heavy Attacks. She is somewhat self-sufficient for Sinflame but relies on team support for maximum Afterflame charging.

Playstyle and Team Synergies

Galbrena thrives as an on-field DPS, cycling through attacks to build Sinflame, entering Demon Hypostasis for burst phases, and using her Resonance Liberation for peak damage. Her reliance on team Echo Skills suggests strong synergies with supports who can spam echoes without stealing field time.

Her kit offers a versatile set of skills and abilities, providing players with more team choices. Her Afterflame accumulation relies on nearby team Resonators casting Echo Skills, suggesting synergy with teams that frequently use Echoes to build her resources quickly. Resonance Chain 4 enhances team-wide DMG Bonus from Echo Skills.

Potential teams:

  • Galbrena (Main DPS) + Cantarella (Sub-DPS/Echo Buffer) + Verina (Healer/Support)
  • Galbrena (Main DPS) + Phrolova (Sub-DPS/Support) + Baizhi (Healer/Support)
  • Focus on Fusion trio setups with supports who amplify Echo Skill usage or provide team-wide buffs.
