Resonance SolsticeRazielBuild and Guide

Raziel is a DPS Crew Member who highly focuses on inflicting high amounts of Erode to multiple targets. She has a well-balanced kit, mostly from her Resonance, making her generate Cost and Draw Cards. She deals more damage as more cards get generated.

Playstyle and Key Mechanics

Raziel relies a lot on Derivative cards to make her work; her kit provides that, however, it feels quite lacking and they are extremely expensive to use alone, as a cost generator won’t be enough to sustain it. Now, let’s go over each of her cards as to how exactly they work.

Main Cards:

• For her first card [Crucifixion], a 3-cost red card that deals 4 instances of Physical DMG and inflicts [Curse], after use, this generates the derivative card [Stigmata].

• Next is [Prologue], a 3-cost purple card that summons [Oculus Veritatis] that deals Reverb DMG whenever a card is generated. This attack inflicts [Erode], which deals Reverengy DMG and generates Black card [Reverengy] at the bottom of your deck.

• Then we have her ultimate [Judgement] which draws a card prioritizing Black cards, then deals 7 instances of Reverengy DMG and inflicts [Erode]. This also scales its damage according to each Black card in your hand, then discards all Black cards in your hand once used.

Derivatives:

• Stigmata - Gives stacks of Agony that increase the target’s DMG taken; this can stack up to 12, which then triggers Stigmata Disintegration, dealing Reverb DMG and removing all stacks.

Investment

Raziel’s base copy can be significantly weak in comparison to Ushana; however, giving her Awakening 2 gives her an extra damage source, which will greatly increase her personal damage. This is a good stopping point for those who want to main her and are on a budget. Awakening 4 is kind of obsolete, given you can just equip Crimson Prophecy to heal.

• Awakening 1 - Whenever she triggers [Stigmata Disintegration], she increases her ATK%.

• Awakening 2 - Provides an additional damage source named [Wraith’s Curse] that deals Reverengy DMG and inflicts [Erode]. This can be triggered by chance when destroying cards and is guaranteed to trigger if it's a Black card.

• Awakening 4 - Generating a card heals the lowest HP ally. 

• Awakening 5 - Increases Raziels ATK and DEF by 15% of allies average ATK and DEF in the duration when [Oculus Concordiae] is active, which can be triggered whenever [Oculus Veritatis] is triggered. This also increases hand size by 1.

Resonance

• Resonance 1 — Gain 1-2 cost whenever [Crucifixion] is drawn.

• Resonance 2 —  Draws 1-2 cards whenever [Prologue] is drawn, in priority to her own cards.

• Resonance 4 — Gain 0.1 cost per second as long as [Stigmata] is active.

• Resonance 5 — Using [Stigmata] provides [Veil of Eclipse], which then inflicts [Erode] on enemies in range.

Synergies

❗ ❗ ❗ The Synergies mentioned here are merely samples. Taking their core mechanics as an example, you can use many other characters as replacements or other synergies. ❗ ❗ ❗ 

• Jalhay - Incredible card drawing potential, DMG taken debuff, and Derivative generation, which greatly works for Raziel.

• Valentine - Can generate Ash and Element Core: Fire and instantly activate Leader Skill with Prayer.

• Ushana - Both easily work together for an Erode focus team; however will require a powerful cost generator to sustain their expensive cards.
