Core Damage Sources

There are so many ways to increase power that it’s easy to lose track of them all. Here’s some general ways:

  • Pull new limited weapons, and get advancements up to A6 if necessary
  • Pull new limited matrices, and get them up each up to A3 (very costly)
  • Unlock character traits and enable them (Simulacra menu, then Awaken -> Gift. Get 4000 gift points then toggle Simulacrum Trait to On)
  • Upgrade traits to max awakening points (7000) then upgrade Awakening stats to get a permanent atk boost using the appropriate region Upgrade Drive item (farm Joint Operations daily, or buy with tanium) - do this for each available character you have that can go to max points, as some stop at 4000.
  • Relics provide a direct buff during combat AND often have passives at A4 that give permanent element buffs! E.g. 2% element damage increase
  • Altered weapon special skills e.g. Fiona (6 skills) and Nan Yin inhabit
  • Optimising weapon rotations during combat
  • Gear level-up (todo)
    • Gear advancement to 5*
    • Gear enhancement to level 70 (patch 4.6 max)
