Story
| Title | Text |
| Character Details | A Memokeeper of the Garden of Recollection. A mysterious and elegant soothsayer. She often wears a warm smile and is willing to patiently listen to the words of others, thus using such means as a pretext to enter "memories" and gain omniscience over certain matters. A lady passionate about collecting unique memories, yet the thoughts that guide her are hard to glean. |
| Character Story: Part I | "She's quite an unusual kid, and I could sense it from the day she was born. It felt like nature itself was celebrating her arrival: The birds chirped, the moon and sun were together in the sky. The cards in my hand seemed to hint at the emergence of a soul steeped in nostalgia. Right from her early years, she had a fascination with stories from the past. She would delve deep into contemplating our origins, our creators, and even the very beginning of the world. Her questions would leave even the most erudite scholars scratching their heads. Sure, some other kids might poke fun at her for asking such deep questions, but aren't those questions important? Life is akin to a winding labyrinth, where memories serve as our sole companions." Afflicted with amnesia, her mother struggled with forgetfulness, making it difficult for her to recognize her family or recall recent events. Clutching the diagnosis of amnesia, she held her mother tightly, attempting to read aloud from the latter's diary. Her mother was physically present, but where was she in the realm of consciousness? She stayed by her mother's side until the end of her life, realizing that her mother had been fading away as her memories became fragmented. If her own memories of her mother were to ever become blurred as well, her mother would completely slip away from her. "Life is akin to a winding labyrinth, where memories serve as our sole companions." For the first time, she comprehended the profound meaning behind these words. * Unlocked at Character Level |
| Character Story: Part II | "I arrived on this planet as an explorer. My usual tasks involved observing the flow of rivers, examining the materials of the city's bricks and tiles, analyzing the steepness of roads, and documenting the number and distribution of chimneys... These duties aligned with people's imagination of preserving a planet's 'memories.'" — However, such efforts were far from sufficient. Once I started working in secrecy, I would often come across that girl. Sometimes, sunlight would dance through the leaves as she walked beneath them, disappearing around corners once the street lamps illuminated the surroundings. On other occasions, her gaze would follow a carrier pigeon, which left the High Priest's quarters every Wednesday night, only to return the following morning to the palace's chief of the guards — a known political adversary of the High Priest. Occasionally, she would quietly observe rain trickling into sewers scarred by artillery fired from the opposite shore. And sometimes, waves would dampen her skirts, while an elderly woman washing clothes by the river recounted the story of the previous sovereign and his five illegitimate children. — Few individuals, apart from us, understand that a planet conceals and safeguards its "memories" in such a manner. I trailed behind her until we reached a rock on the moor. I knew that it was the time to invite her. "What do you see?" I asked, in a form visible to her. She pointed at a patch of weeds and the lingering traces. "I see a stone, perhaps once part of a fireplace... But it must hold more significance." I nodded and assisted her in removing the weeds and dirt from the crevices of the stone. "It was once a monument," she murmured, gently caressing the engravings adorning its surface. "Indeed, but the 'memory' holds more significance." Thus, I revealed to her that the stone on the moor had once served as a fireplace, a monument before that, a flowerbed, and even an altar... And before all that, it had simply been a stone on the moor. "What price would I pay if I want to witness those 'memories'?" "People will remain oblivious to your presence unless you are willing to reveal yourself." "Just as people fail to acknowledge the existence of black swans until they encounter one?" "Yes, just like that." Memokeepers travel to numerous planets, collecting the memories of each city they encounter. They are careful not to leave any trace of their presence, ensuring that nobody remembers them, unless they come across someone with the potential to become a Memokeeper, whom they then take away from the city into the vast expanse of the stars. * Unlocked at Character Level |
| Character Story: Part III | Many individuals obsess over the glory of the past and aspire to become Memokeepers, longing to live within their memories. Such individuals often degenerate into unbridled Cremators, distorting memories to suit their preferences. However, she is different... I've sensed her unwavering determination and profound respect for memories themselves. Following tradition, I asked her three questions before making her a Memokeeper. "Will you dedicate your whole life to the collection of memories?" "I will." "Will you relinquish your physical form and embrace the transformation of self?" "I will." "If one day you cease to exist, what legacy will you leave behind for the world?" "My memories. They hold seeds from the past, destined for rebirth into the future." Memories come in various forms. Some are trivial and heartwarming, while others are grand and expansive. Some are gentle and meek, while others are wild and untamed... When she became a Memokeeper, her memories became tranquil and serene, like the calm waves that finally found their destined harbor. "What comes to your mind?" The Memokeeper asked. As she opened her eyes, fragments of memories swirled around her. "People tend to believe they are facing the present and the future, yet fail to realize that we are all, in fact, moving toward the past." * Unlocked at Character Level |
| Character Story: Part IV | Location: Penacony Date: ██/██/██ Guests: ██, ██, ██, and ██ "A sorrowful memory from ██. This opulent memory, adorned with ostentation and longing, conceals an unknown sadness that will linger for years, influencing its owner for an extended period." "A joyous memory from ██. This dramatic memory is filled with vibrant hues of joy, confusion, and humor, but it can hardly be called true happiness. Such is the future it portrays." "A regrettable memory from ██. The fleeting happiness in this memory is beautiful yet short-lived, like a shooting spark from faded ashes. Cherish your limited moment, dear guest, for it informs me that it shall soon vanish." "A vague memory from ██. This memory is faint, chaotic, and disorienting, akin to an endless downpour with no respite in sight. I yearn to capture the future it points to, whether it be filled with rain or sunshine..." "I saw the figure of a woman, gracefully leaping and transforming amidst images and patterns. No... I'm not crazy, I did indeed see 'her.' I remember her voice, its velvety texture, and the colorful cards in her hands, imbued with some sort of magic... Oh, and she invited me to partake in fortune-telling. She said, 'Whether you want to foresee happiness or misfortune in the future, retrieve lost possessions, or seek unexpected gains... All I need is an honest story, for the past and the future are overlapped on the same point of a single circle.' My head spun, and she exuded such gentleness. I talked so much to her, and she patiently listened to my ramblings... And then, following her divination results, I retrieved a lost mirror for a guest of the hotel! Oh, you asked what I said to her? Oh, nothing important... Just some rumors about the past..." Currently, she journeys through various realms as a diviner, uncovering memories intertwined with her Path and Aeons. She believes that those memories are as enduring as gems, impervious to the eroding forces of oblivion. "Numerous Memokeepers have ventured to Penacony, only to discover it as a mere illusory mirage dancing upon the water's surface." "However, dreams... They represent a distorted form of memories. I shall delve into its depths and catch a fleeting glimpse of the buried memories before those Memosnatchers and Cremators arrive." * Unlocked at Character Level |

Should I use ATK% or Wind dmg boost link rope?????
I use [pan-cosmic], [it’s showtime] on her, so should i use ATK% orb ? i kinda want to use it on sw, maybe welt too.
Setting aside how you’re gonna deal with hitting 120% EHR… Wind orb would be slightly better in this case, even more so if you have Atk% buffers (like Asta) in the team.
Thanks, right now my bs has around 112% EHR & 136 SPD (exclude orb). I got lucky with sub stats.
Nicely done! Just 8 more to go 😀
Here’s some very specific details I’ve confirmed through testing which may or may not be relevant to you:
– As we know, DoTs triggering at the start of enemy turns adds Arcana stacks. Arcana itself also adds 1 stack just before it triggers. Looking at this another way, just by an enemy *spawning and existing*, Arcana is already a 264% DoT by itself.
– The amount of stacks Arcana has *before* Arcana adds its own stack and triggers determines if it benefits from the 3 or 7 stack effect. To give you a scenario, an enemy that currently has 2 Arcana stacks with only Arcana as the DoT present will not trigger a Blast when they start their turn, despite Arcana having a 3rd stack when it deals its damage.
– Epiphany’s Dmg Amp specifically works on the current enemy taking their turn. Arcana’s Blast effect never benefits from Epiphany’s Amp since it only hits targets Adjacent to the current enemy. Unfortunate, considering her Blast accounts for a good chunk of her damage (easily over 30%).
– It’s a very niche interaction, but Epiphany’s Dmg Amp does work with Clara’s Counters. Again, this will only work against the current enemy taking action. The blast damage from Clara’s Enhanced Counters (Ult) won’t benefit.
– Arcana “as a DoT” is counted as Wind Shear even without her Ultimate (you can see this when inspecting enemies during combat). However, Arcana “as an effect” is *not* Wind Shear. I can confirm the beta info: Arcana isn’t affected by Wind Shear resistance, and thus can actually be applied onto Wind Shear immune enemies (like the lil’ flying Windspawn mobs).
– Sampo E4 can DoTonate Arcana as long as Arcana (or any other Wind Shear effect present) has 5 stacks. And yes, while Sampo may not be able to apply WShear against the aforementioned WShear immune enemies, he can still DoTonate Arcana applied on them.
– – –
Other than those… I think you can just refer to reputable guides/testers regarding her base kit.
If there’s anything else I’ll say… If Kafka is a DoT enabler, other DoTs enable BS instead. Also, you can look at BS as though she’s a pseudo-Erudition unit. She can’t perform optimally in single target, but absolutely pops off in Blast and AoE. Enemies taking turn is her crux, which can potentially affect performance in AV-limited combat if enemies lose turns due to excessive Slows/Delays, or if enemies die before Arcana can even trigger.
As for her Ultimate, I personally think it’s not worth sacrificing offense just for the sake of gaining more Energy (intentionally swapping to ER Rope, Tutorial Mission LC if you have other offensive options, etc). It’s not worth the damage you lose and attempting to maintain her Ultimate permanently (which is the only way this *somehow* pays off) is incredibly unrealistic.
