Review
From Tanking, to healing, to damage dealing - Tiamat does it all. She is a tank that transforms into a damage dealer (while retaining her tankiness) after taking damage, or healing enough of her HP through her passive, [Mother of Evolution]. With it, she enters her ultimate form and gains an extra turn, allowing her to immediately use her skill 1, which does massive AOE damage. Besides her Ultimate Form, she still has AOE Healing over time, AOE Shields, and an AOE taunt, allowing her to be an oppressive unit in PVP while also being very good in PVE content, such as DokiDoki.
She's a great example of an early/mid game starter character that makes progressing through the PVE content easy, but while she still can be used in the highest difficulty stages, other characters overcome her later - especially in the 'speed' category, so how fast they clear a stage. Still, even outside of that, she's a menace in PVP and is very annoying to deal with.
Tiamat works extremely well with a unit like Lingluo and Sania in order to heal and get more stacks to get her closer to her Ultimate form. If you allow your opponent to pair her with those units in PVP, you won’t have a good time. Lily, too, is an amazing unit with Tiamat because of her built-in assist that procs on the S1, which can allow Tiamat to do twice as many of her AOE S1s in her [Mother of Evolution] state.
Pros & Cons
Pros
High AOE damage potential.
Hard to kill & can taunt.
Good team-wide sustain.
Cons
Low single-target damage output.
On auto, she will use her S3 first to Taunt enemies, while in PVE content (and even in PVP), you want her to start with S2 in a lot of cases - as her Shields are based on current HP.

Early Game Builds
For Early Game build tips when it comes to what modules and Shells to use before you start farming Red rarity, check our dedicated guide:
Best Build
The builds below are tailored more toward PVE and we only mention PVP in some places - like for alternative Shells or Module choices. But PVE is our focus.
Best Shells
For some DPS characters, we're showing two set of numbers. The top one on shows the performance in single-target scenario and the bottom on blue background in AoE scenario (4 targets). If there's just one number, it means the character only has single-target capability.
1
After the main body's turn, a Follow-up Attack on the main target dealing 240%+4200 damage, applies [SPD+] for 3 turns to the main Animus, applies and increases their Turn Meter by 25%.
A speed-based alternative for DPS characters to use instead of the mostly pure damage setups offered by Striker shells. Deals a large hit of damage, grants a 25% gauge boost, and offers the wearer the [SPD+] boost with 100% uptime on use. The downside of using this shell on DPS is that the matrixes are mostly support-focused, leading to suboptimal 12/8/6 set-ups or causing you to break sets and run 12P Swiftrush and an 8P set of your choice. Despite this downside, it can still be some characters’ top option. As with all speed-based sets on DPS, in teams that have gauge boosts for the DPS, it will lose value. Also, loses most of its value when used in teams that already have a team member granting the [SPD+] buff with good uptime.
This is the purely offensive option for PVE Tiamat that allows her to cycle faster. Still, if you're running her with Lily (or other SPD buffer), the value of this Shell drops drastically as Lily will provide her with the SPD buff.
Best Module Sets:
- 12 set: >Swiftrush [12/12]
![Matrix]()
>Wellspring [12/12]![Matrix]()
>Bloodbath [12/12]![Matrix]()
- 8 set: >Swiftrush [8/12]
![Matrix]()
>Bulwark [8/8]![Matrix]()
>Cure [8/8]![Matrix]()
- 6 set: >Swiftsmite [6/6]
![Matrix]()
>Evolguard [6/6]![Matrix]()
You can use
- 12 set: Swiftrush [12/12]
![Matrix]()
- 8 set: Bramble [8/8]
![Matrix]()
- 6 set: None - early one you can't use an Inferno set.
2
Triggers when the main body takes DMG greater than 25% of Max HP within a turn, healing the main body for 25% Max HP and increasing Turn Meter progress by 25%.
A strong personal sustain option for characters, granting them a 25% max HP restore and 25% gauge boost upon taking hits within a single turn greater than 25% of their max HP (on a 2-turn cooldown). Has situational use in PVE but shines the most in PVP, granting your teams extra healing and gauge boost on a semi-frequent cooldown.
An alternative build for PVE (and for PVP). It is slower, but thanks to Bramble enables Tiamat to counterattack often, potentially doing more damage - especially if you have a SPD buffer in the team.
Best Module Sets:
- 12 set: >Swiftrush [12/12]
![Matrix]()
- 8 set: >Bramble [8/8]
![Matrix]()
- 6 set: >Swiftsmite [6/6]
![Matrix]()
>Colossguard [6/6]![Matrix]()
3
Before the owner takes action, if the owner has any debuffs, dispels 2 debuff(s) and increases their Effect RES by 25% for every 1 debuff(s) dispelled, lasting for 2 turn(s).
A PVP-focused shell option offering a 2-turn debuff cleanse and up to 50% Effect RES at turn start with a 4-turn cooldown. A solid option for characters who need to ensure they aren’t taken out of the fight by stuns, freezes, or other debilitating effects on their opening turn.
The PVP build for Tiamat - you can run either Alicorn or Amber here, depending on what you prefer.
Best Module Sets:
- 12 set: >Swiftrush [12/12]
![Matrix]()
- 8 set: >Bramble [8/8]
![Matrix]()
- 6 set: >Swiftsmite [6/6]

>Colossguard [6/6]![Matrix]()
Specialist Shells
Below you can find some alternative Shells you can use - though it's mainly for PVP scenarios.
1
When the owner Animus is about to die, halves their current Turn Meter, removes all effects on them, recovers 60% of their Max HP, and puts them into a 1-turn [Iced] state.,
The cooldown of the skill can't be reduced.
Allows the wearer to cheat death once every 6 turns. Upon dying, they will instead recover 60% HP and enter a special state, becoming immune to turn meter reductions, debuffs, buffs, and also gaining 200% increased DEF until the start of their next turn. A powerful option for keeping vulnerable high-value units alive in PVP.
Despite the description, Amber does not remove CC effects when it triggers, so keep that in mind.
Module Calcs/Information
Below you can find the calculations for specific module sets - split per slot. Click on the dropdown to reveal the information. The % comparison are made against no set equipped.
1
4/12: SPD +8%
8/12: SPD +20%
12/12: SPD +35%
A solid option for DPS characters planning to fight in extended battles or who value taking initiative in the initial turn order. Loses value when damage dealers are able to rely on their teammates for gauge boosting instead of their own Speed.
2
4/12: HP +10%
8/12: HP +25%
12/12: HP +45%
Generic option for HP scalers. Loses out to more specialized options, but is accessible.
3
6/12: Effect RES +18%
12/12: Effect RES +18%. When the total DMG taken in a turn exceeds 20% of Max HP, the excess DMG is additionally reduced by 55%.
Exceptional anti-burst defensive set, most notably used in PVP to prevent enemies from one-shotting your team with aggressive combo compositions. It can also be used in specific PvE encounters, but it is far more niche.
8 Piece sets:
1
4/8: DEF +10%
8/8: DEF +10%. Upon hit, Animuses have a 25% chance to counterattack with a basic attack.
Incredibly potent specialist set for DPS and Support characters. Grants the wearer a 25% chance upon being attacked to use their Basic ATK along with all its passive effects. Most powerful on characters with potent Basic Attacks that have passive effects and/or can redirect attacks toward themselves.
2
4/12: SPD +8%
8/12: SPD +20%
12/12: SPD +35%
A solid option for DPS characters planning to fight in extended battles or who value taking initiative in the initial turn order. Loses value when damage dealers are able to rely on their teammates for gauge boosting instead of their own Speed.
3
4/8: HP +10%
8/8: HP +10%. Healing Effect increases by 25%.
Potent set for boosting healing output. The go-to 8P option for all characters looking to maximise their sustain and don’t have a need for another 8P.
1
6/6: SPD +15% & Effect ACC +20%
The go-to option for most supports, thanks to its presence on many of the best supportive Shells and the strong SPD and Effect ACC it grants. Can be used on some DPS setups if Shell requirements demand it.
2
6/6: DEF +25% & Effect RES +20%
A no-speed defensive choice for your Inferno 6P set. It can be worth it on some characters, specifically DEF stackers, but it often loses out to SPD-based alternatives.
3
6/6: Healing Effect +12% & Effect RES +20%
A no-speed sustain-enhancing choice for your Inferno 6P set. It may need to be used to work around shell restrictions, or if SPD isn’t a priority, and you would instead prefer more defense and healing output.
Best Stats
Substats:
SPD (Until Desired) > HP% > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > Flat HP
Stat comments
Tiamat has four stats to pay attention to across gear:
- HP: HP is the most important stat for Tiamat, increasing both her damage and supportive abilities.
- SPD: Speed is next in line - you want to be fast to shield allies and cycle faster.
- CRIT Rate / Crit DMG: This is the next focus - once you have enough Speed and HP, focus on the DPS side of things and invest into CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG to improve Tiamat's damage output.
Shell Passives
Slot 1
HP% > HP > DEF% > DEF
Slot 2
SPD = CRIT RATE = CRIT DMG
Slot 3
DMG Taken > Odd DMG% > DMG%
Passive comments
- Slot 1: HP% is optimal, but if you're lacking in materials Flat HP can also be used. If you get DEF% or DEF of higher rarity, keep it though for now.
- Slot 2: Decide between SPD or Crit Rate/Crit DMG, depending on what your character needs more. Speed has the biggest value here though.
- Slot 3: DMG Taken might be the best option, because DMG% doesn't affect True Damage.

Synergies
- Lily - Lily provides Tiamat with the SPD buff, but also allows her to Assist more often. Running them together, makes it easier to use full DPS Tiamat build.
![Lily]()
- Sania - Sania provides max HP buffs to Tiamat - one of the only ways to increase her damage output. Also, she allows Tiamat to stack her passive faster.
