LAST RITE

Overview

Last Rite is a 6-star Cryo Striker who excels at single-target boss damage with some of the highest burst multipliers in the game. Even at base ascension (P0), she can rival limited operators in raw damage output.

Her biggest strength is the invincibility window during her Ultimate - three massive Cryo slashes while completely immune to damage. However, she has strict rotation requirements and struggles with mob clearing due to rigid gameplay constraints.

How to Play

Last Rite requires 3 Cryo Infliction stacks to access her main damage Combo Skill. You cannot simply burst when Ultimate is ready - stack setup is mandatory first. This makes her rotation feel rigid but predictable once mastered.

Important: She only gains Ultimate Energy from her own Battle Skills and Combo Skills, not from teammates. Focus on her rotation rather than waiting for external energy generation.

Skill Breakdown

• *Normal Attack - Dance of Rime: 4-hit sequence ending with Final Strike that deals Cryo DMG and 25 Stagger. Use Finishers near Staggered enemies for extra damage and SP recovery.
• *Battle Skill - Esoteric Legacy: Buffs your next Final Strike with additional Cryo DMG and Cryo Infliction application. Does not reset attack sequence when controlling Last Rite herself.
• *Combo Skill - Winter's Devourer: Main damage dealer triggered at 3+ Cryo stacks. Consumes all stacks for massive damage and Ultimate Energy generation. This is your primary burst tool.
• *Ultimate - Vigil Services: Triple slash with full immunity frames. Each slash deals massive Cryo DMG, enhanced by 1.5x against enemies with Cryo Susceptibility.

Best Weapons

Khravengger is her signature weapon and best choice. It provides Cryo DMG +16% plus additional damage based on Cryo Infliction stacks on enemies. This perfectly matches her kit mechanics.

Seeker of Dark Lung is your F2P alternative. While not as synergistic, it provides solid Arts DMG bonuses that work well enough for beginners or players lacking the signature.

Best Gear Sets

Tide Surge Set (3-piece) is core to her build. The Skill DMG +20% directly boosts her Battle Skill damage, while the additional Arts DMG bonus after 2+ Arts Infliction stacks synergizes with her stack-based playstyle.

Essence Stats

Prioritize ATK% and Cryo DMG as your main stats - these directly amplify her burst damage. Physical DMG can work as a third option depending on your other gear.

For substats, focus on CRIT Rate/DMG to maximize burst potential, followed by ATK% and Energy Regeneration to help with her strict rotation timing.

Team Compositions

Xaihi is your essential Cryo stacking support - she's the primary way to get those mandatory 3 Cryo Infliction stacks quickly. Ardelia provides crucial damage amplification through debuffs and Susceptibility effects.

For your fourth slot, Snowshine offers protection during rigid burst windows against aggressive enemies. Perlica provides additional damage buffs through Forced Electrification and can be better against low-aggression targets.

Tips & Tricks

• *Always control Last Rite except when you absolutely need ranged attacks. Switching characters breaks her attack sequence.
• *Use Battle Skills before combat when possible - they function as buffs and save precious SP during fights.
• *Her rotation takes practice but becomes second nature. Ultimate every 2 rotations is achievable with proper timing.
• *Avoid using her against large mob groups - the hitbox issues and single-target focus make boss fights her specialty.
• *Remember she gains Ultimate Energy ONLY from her own skills, not from support characters.

Skill Priority

Ultimate gets top priority as it contains your biggest damage spikes and crucial immunity frames. Combo Skill is second since it's your primary damage dealer and main source of Ultimate Energy.

Battle Skill comes third for its damage amplification and Cryo stack application. Normal Attack is last since its main purpose is building toward your powered-up Final Strike rather than being a damage source itself.
