Review

The Pinky apprentice Sinclair is the first Poise self-sufficient ID we’ve gotten in a long time, ever since the Full-Stop Duo. However, his pros do not end here, as on top of that, he has one of the highest raw Physical Damage in the game at the moment of his release. Let’s dive into his kit!

Starting with his passives, which he has 2 of. The first one is an always active passive, granting him his unique effect “Moonlit Azure Blade” on turn end. This unique effect allows him to gain Shield, Crit DMG Up and enhance his skills. On top of that, if he only used Defensive Skills, on combat start, he will heal 5 SP and gain 1 Slash Power Up next turn. This effect strongly synergises with his Defensive Skill effects.

The second passive requires 2 Pride Res to activate, allowing him to ramp up his Poise Potency gain until he reaches 20, after which he will switch to generate Count, making him net positive on Poise Count throughout all of his skill rotation.

Skill 1 - Chainstrike - Base roll 11 - Max roll 15 - An average Skill 1 in Season 7, with either neutral or positive on Poise Count with his passive up.
Skill 2 - Nameless Slash - Base roll 16 - Max roll 18 - Initially an underwhelming Skill 2, but once he starts doing Critical Hits, it stacks his Moonlit Azure Blade to 10 and starts reusing his Coins, it becomes one of the strongest Skill 2 in the game.
Skill 3 - Fallstar Slayer - Base roll 22 - Max roll 32 - Direct upgrade of Blade Lineage Sinclair’s Skill 3. Works similarly to Skill 2, but after getting the maximum “Moonlit Azure Blade”, he gains Attack Weight on this skill and deals an absurd amount of damage.
Defensive Skill 1 - Defend - Base roll 13 - Clashable guard that gives a lot of Poise Potency and enough Poise Count to sustain his stack.
Defensive Skill 2 - Swerve - Base roll 14 - Dodge that gives him a lot of Poise Count. His Clashable Guard turns into Dodge once he gets above 20 Poise Potency. He also gains Crit DMG Up, which synergises well with his Slash Power Up gain from his passive

To sum it up, he has a well-rounded kit, strongly relies on getting a lot of Poise very fast to start converting his excess Potency into “Moonlit Azure Blade”, boosting his performance extremely. To do so, do not hesitate to use his Defensive Skill early and do not forget about Pride Resonance.

Notable ID/Team synergies:

Poise: Obvious pick. His slow ramp-up will be left unnoticed, since most of Poise IDs are on the same boat in this regard.
Bleed: Even if it seems like he has some potential there, his ramp-up is significantly slower than other Bleed IDs. However, if you still insist on using him, try pairing him with Pequod Yi Sang’s passive.
