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)
    • Gear augument (titan gear + titan stat)
    • Basic gear 8 piece activation (bonus stats when ALL non-Vera gear reaches a set enhancement level like 10, 15, 20 etc.) - very minor dmg increments, may not be optimal
    • Supercomputing Evolution
    • Space Support System (Cosmic system menu)
  • Lin & Fiona Synesthesia weapon upgrade
    • A2 permanent 3% elemental damage increase
    • A5 permanent 4% elemental damage increase
  • Suppressor upgrading (very minor dmg increments)
  • Smart Servant
  • Sequential Phantasm - clearing content gives you items that permanently boosts your HP and ATK
  • Map exploration - this also gives you items that permanently boosts your HP and ATK

The best way to see this is to view the Rankings menu for a mode like Bygone/Sequential Phantasm and view the profile of the top ranked players. Use the magnifying glass icon, then View info to see this.

There are still some youtubers remaining that provide team showcases with rotations like:
