## Herrscher of Finality (S) (DPS) (Trio)

### The Final Kiana

Powerful Fire IMG DMG dealer. Although she can be used like a regular Fire DPS with Chrono Navi support, her full potential is only unlocked in the Herrscher Trio team.

### Pull Recommendation

Competitive: Trio team is currently the best Fire DPS / dual Fire-Lightning DPS team with new mechanics and a very fun play-style. Besides Fire and IMG combat, HoYo has started making content that requires multi-elemental DPS in a team. The Herrscher Trio team will be the uncontested top scorers against these two bosses: Kevin, RGBenares.

* The other two members (Herrscher of Truth, Herrscher of Origin) are both top-tier meta valkyries on their own. Since they're new, expect bosses tailored to them more frequently in 6.4 and in the near future.

New Players: In 6.4, Herrscher of Origin is free. If you want to build this team, pull Herrscher of Truth first because she is more valuable (3-in-1 support), and then you can consider pulling Herrscher of Finality.

How to Get: Gacha only.

### Equipment

* *Domain of Genesis* (gacha weapon)
* *Kiana Kaslana TMB* (gacha stigmata)
	+ Weaker options: G3 Leeuwenhoek TB, Thales M

### Lineup

* *"Herrscher Trio team"*
	+ Herrscher of Finality, Herrscher of Origin, and Herrscher of Truth
* *Regular Fire DPS team*
	+ Herrscher of Finality, Chrono Navi, and Herrscher of Truth (can be substituted with Reverist Calico)

### Elysian Realm

Combo ATK spam:

Condescension > Flames > Clarity

* Discipline 2 or Stars 2
* Helix 2
* Decimation 2

Rider kick build:

Rift > Final Moon

* Discipline 2
* Deliverance 2
* Vicissitude 2
* Stars 2

## Herrscher of Flamescion (S) (DPS)

### The meteor fighting for all that's beautiful in the world

* Explosive Fire DPS with stylish aerial combat
* Abilities consume HP, but in exchange, Kiana gets a durable barrier
* Lead skill provides initial SP to the entire team

### Pull Recommendation

New Player: Not recommended to pull from gacha as Herrscher of Flamescion is old and her bosses don't appear often. Get the new Kiana - Herrscher of Finality instead as your Fire DPS. You can still get Herrscher of Flamescion from the 6.4 spending award.

Competitive: It's unclear if Herrscher of Flamescion still maintains top score on Fire Heimdal and Fire Tank. Herrscher of Finality will do fine, even if it's not top score.

Gear: Domain of Incandescence is essential.

How to Get: Gacha, 6.4 spending event

### Equipment

* *Domain of Incandescence* (gacha weapon)
* *Himeko TMB* (gacha stigmata)
	+ Weaker option: Leeuwenhoek TB, Thales M

### Lineup

* Standard
	+ Herrscher of Flamescion, Herrscher of Truth, Chrono Navi
* Free to Play option
	+ Herrscher of Flamescion, Reverist Calico, Chrono Navi

### Elysian Realm

Heatflow > Reburn > Starfire

* Decimation 2
* Vicissitude 2
* Setsuna 1

## Helical Contraption (S) (DPS)

### Quantum Slayer with machine gun

* Vill-V is more of a Quantum specialist than a Fire DPS. Her buffs are targeted on Quantum type, and all of her top scores are Quantum bosses and Quantum weathers. Her Burst Mode has a low SP cost, so she can do a quick ULT to collapse Quantum enemy.
* Her DMG doesn't really scream an EX-tier valkryie

### Pull Recommendation

New Player: Not heavily recommended. Quantum enemies aren't a big deal early on. If you want a Fire DPS, get the new Herrscher of Finality instead, whih is a proper Fire DPS with new mechanics and good boss coverage. **Holy shit, HoFi advertisement everywhere. What if I want a sexy quantum specialist?**

Competitive: Vill-V is the top scorer for Quantum bosses like Kosma, Abyss Tonatiuh EX and Quantum Whale but there are much cheaper alternatives like Herrscher of Thunder, Fallen Rosemary, etc.

How to Get: Gacha Only

### Equipment

* *Tower of the Past: Silk Ladder* (gacha weapon)

## Spina Astera (S) (DPS)

### Supernova maid assassin

* Elegant Fire DPS that inherits the Astral Harness power of Dea Anchora.
* Was relevant for quite some time thanks to HoYo for spamming her ice form and Genshin dog (Andrius) every week, but now her bosses don't appear as often.

### Pull Recommendation

New Players: Not recommended anymore. Get the new Fire valkryie Herrscher of Finality instead, which is way stronger, has new mechanics, and currently has good boss coverage.

Competitive: She still has top score on AKA bosses and compete with Mobius vs Type Andrius and SSS Andrius, butas mentioned above, these bosses don't appear as often anymore.

### Elysian Realm

Wild Flare > Quillon > Alrescha

* Vicissitude 2
* Gold 2
* Decimation 2

## Dea Anchora (S) (DPS)

### Outdated Fire DPS

* Old Fire DPS with simple ULT spam playstyle. Very old valkyrie, no timestop.
* Yeah. That's it.

### Pull Recommendation

New Players: Not recommended. Just get Herrscher of Finality trio team for your Fire DPS. She is a more recent recent, stronger valkyrie with new mechanics.

Competitive: S0-rank Dea Anchora has no top score.

### Equipment

* *Starlance Prime* (gacha weapon)

	+ At least get 2PC set. Bottom piece is important for SP regen.
	+ Weaker Options: Leeuwenhoek TB, Thales M

	+ Dea Anchora, Herrscher of Truth, Chrono Navi
* *Free to Play Option*
	+ Dea Anchora, Reverist Calico, Chrono Navi

### Elysian Realm

Stars > Sheen > Halo

* Deliverance 2
* Gold 2
* Discipline 2

## Chrono Navi (SP) (Support)

### Farmable Fire/Ignite Support

* Fire support that throws chakram beyblade
* Provides tons of utilities: Ignite, gather, DMG over time, and recover SP for the team (12 SP, CD: 15s). She even has her own passive SP regen.

### Farm and Pull Recommendation

New Players: Farm Ai if you're building a Fire team.

Competitive: Try to get at least chakram. As for stigmata, you need full Ai set since 35% Fire DMG vulnerability is locked behind 3PC. Either get Ai set or settle with Turgenev TB.

How to Get: Asterite Shop, Open World, Equipment is gacha

### Equipment

* *Rudder in Dream* (gacha weapon)
* *Ai TMB* (gacha stigmata)
	+ 35% Fire DMG vulnerability is locked behind 3PC, so full set is important. Also best for Elysian Realm.
	+ Weaker options: Turgenev TB, Mei/Musician/Aslaug M (potentially on the same level as Ai TB and Mei M)

List of Weaker Options:

* *Purana Phantasma*
	+ Has team Total DMG +12%
* *Gluttony T, Mei M, Newton B*
* *JInsheng TM, Newton B*
* *Irene TB, Musician M*
	+ Another option would be the Aslaug set, but it's not recommended. However, it's not entirely useless. Ai-chan cannot refresh the Feathered debuff, so it will only last 8s max.

### Lineup

* *Standard*
	+ [Fire DPS], Chrono Navi, Herrscher of Truth
* *Free to Play Option*
	+ [Fire DPS], Chrono Navi, Reverist Calico

### Rank-up

A - Unlock 22.4% Fire DMG vulnerability and Chrono Navi will gain up to 24 SP on standby.

S - Unlock Team TDM +35% and Chrono Navi gains 4 SP on every chakram counter hit.

SS - (Ideal Rank) Unlock team SP recovery and Team Fire DMG +40%

SSS - 22.4% --> 30% Fire Vulnerability

### Elysian Realm

Time Crystal > Succession > Constant

* Helix 2
* Vicissitude 2
* Decimation 2
* Gold 2

## Midnight Absinthe (A) (Support)

### Sluggish Fire support

* Raven has been replaced by a much better fire support, Chrono Navi.

### Farm and Pull Recommendation

New Players: Although Raven has been replaced, she is the only A-rank worth farming in Expedition, so get her anyway. Also, her gears have been appearing in supply pretty frequently.

How to Get: Expedition, Open World, Elysian Realm Shop, Equipment is gacha

### Equipment

* *Obscuring Wing* (gacha weapon)
* *Aslaug TMB* (gacha stigmata)
	+ Weaker option: Turgenev TB, Musician/Mei M

### Lineup

* No
	+ No. You don't use Midnight Absinthe. Ever.

### Noteable Rank-ups

S - Unlock 18.8% Fire vulnerability

SS - Unlock SP recovery skill. 18.8 --> 27.5% Fire vulnerability.

SSS - 27.5% --> 35% Fire vulnerability. Max team Fire buff.

### Elysian Realm

Ominous Mist > Arrow Head

* Helix 2
* Deliverance 2
* Stars (any)

## Azure Empyrea (S) (Support)

### Once upon a time, all Elemental teams needed her...

* Azure Empyrea is an outdated elemental support that was once used on all elemental teams, providing elemental breach status that was once unique to only her.

### Pull Recommendation

New Players: Not recommended. She is not worth your crystals when there are farm-able support options for every element.

Competitive: Azure Empyrea has been completely replaced by Jade Knight (Ice) and Herrscher of Truth (Fire & Lightning)

How to Get: Gacha and B-Chip pack ($), Duality Fist from Exchange Shop. G3 Margrave from Foundry.

### Equipment

* *Cosmic Duality*

### Lineup

* *Fire team*
	+ Herrscher of Flamescion, Azure Empyrea, Chrono Navi
* *Lightning team*
	+ Infinite Ouroboros, Prinzessin der Verurteilung!, Azure Empyrea

### Notable Rank-ups

S - Elemental Breach +14% --> 16%. Since breach is rare, this is a significant upgrade

SS - Combo ATK gives SP

SSS - Becomes a Fire DPS

## Herrscher of Origin (S) (DPS) (Trio)

### Timestop Madness

* Herrscher of Origin is a powerful Lightning-IMG DPS with a new feature: TIME STOP ON BASIC ATK
* Her second role is Herrscher Trio team enabler/support. When Herrscher of Origin, Herrscher of Truth, and Herrscher of Finality are on the same team, extra features will be unlocked including special QTE, buffs, and Ultimate.

### Pull Recommendation

* PULL HER EQUIPMENT SUPPLY! In 6.4 Herrscher of Origin is free from Chapter 34, and you get one Raiden Mei stigma box from Chapter 33. You only need 50-80 pulls worth of crystals to get 4/4 Herrscher of Origin. This makes her one of the cheapest S-rank to get full gear.

How to Get: In 6.4, Herrscher of Origin is free from Chapter 34 (+ the Raiden Mei stigma box), gacha
