Chen has the lowest Intellect stat out of all units at 85 when at level 90, which may affect certain gameplay mechanics or interactions.
Build team with Avywenna, Perlica, Arclight for electro synergy. Control Avywenna to position spears then recall for massive damage. Add Antal for more damage or Ardelia for healing flexibility.
Weapons will start to glow when all essences are completely compatible with them. You only need one good essence that matches your weapon stat requirements to eliminate RNG for that weapon.
At P0, Ardelia is a free-to-build universal support. Signature weapon from daily check-in. Combo Skill (Eruption Column) applies Corrosion on enemies without debuffs. Battle Skill (Dolly Rush) consumes Corrosion for Physical and Arts Susceptibility (10% each, shared 30s). Talent: Friendly Presence creates healing shadows from Dolly Rush. Ultimate spreads more shadows. Best in Corrosion loop: apply via Combo, consume with Battle Skill. Weakness: without Corrosion, loses debuff value. Synergizes with teams needing debuffs/healing.
Use Hot Work set for daily play (Arts Intensity +30, +60% Heat DMG 8s after applying Combustion). Best weapon: Forgeborn Scathe signature (Heat DMG +16%, +75% Basic Attack DMG 20s after Ultimate) or Umbral Torch as alternative. In daily farming, mobs may die before Ultimate ends - can mitigate with 4-piece Ultimate gain setup at cost of lower damage.
Laevatain is a complete operator at P0 (0 ascension). Her main value is her Ultimate which provides strong AoE damage and mob clearing. Ultimate Energy can carry over between fights, but Melting Flame stacks do not. When Ultimate is down, her damage drops significantly.
6-star weapons change appearance at maximum duplicates, with glowing effects when every stat is boosted.
Ember, Endmin, Ardelia, and Akekuri works well as alternative team. Ember can be guaranteed from New Horizons free banner, making it accessible.
Estella is surprisingly effective at triggering Alesh's or Chen's combo abilities. Use her in solidification teams with Lifeng, Alesh, and Snowshine.
Purple quality essences with all three matching stats also cause weapons to glow, though the effect may be less obvious than with golden essences.
