Lacrimosa Build Guide

Increases Chaos DMG by 10% for each Type III Module equipped.

Lacrimosa’s passive Tomato Banquet launches a massive hit when a Discord is triggered on a broken enemy. In other words, her best team structure is shaped by:

• Breaking enemies
• Causing Discord

So she pairs well with Daffodill for faster breaking, one Incantation character for Scorch, and one Psyche character for Nova. With them combined, Lacrimosa gains access to Discord.

She can deviate from this comp at A0, but with A6, which forces a Nova or Incantation reaction without an Esper meter, she definitely wants to build a full Discord team.

Hyper Lacrimosa Discord Team

Premium: Lacrimosa, Daffodill, Sakiri, Fadia

F2P: Lacrimosa, Adler, Haniel, flex

The natural fitting team for a main DPS Lacrimosa, with a DoT buffer in Sakiri, a pseudo shielder in Fadia, and a breaker in Daffodill to proc Lacrimosa’s passive. The elements align nicely, and Fadia has a good Esper Meter build-up to trigger Nova. Scorch will occur by switching from Lacrimosa to Sakiri, as Sakiri has very poor Esper build-up.

Being a Chaos DPS, Lacrimosa already fills the rarest element in the bottom of the Esper Circle, so filling other elements for her F2P team is pretty easy if you lack access to some S-Class standard characters. Haniel is a decent buffer that fills the Psyche slot, and Adler grants survivability while filling the Incantation slot. Then the last slot goes to whoever S-Class character you have from the premium team. Reactions will be slower, and Lacrimosa will trigger her passive fewer times, but the entire synergy works the same.

Mono Scorch Team 

Lacrimosa, Daffodill, Sakiri, Baicang

With two Chaos and two Incantation characters, the only possible reaction the team can trigger is Scorch. Sakiri buffs Scorch among all DoT, while both Baicang and Lacrimosa apply different DoT on top of Scorch. The synergy is there, but Lacrimosa and Baicang would fight for field time, and in-depth testing is required to determine what this team rotation would look like, and how to avoid being clunky.

• Limited BiS: The Last Rose 
• Paid Alternative: Fluff of Fleetness
• F2P Alternative: Youthful Fantasy
• Early F2P: Shiny Days

The Last Rose is Lacrimosa’s Limited weapon, which works best with her in the majority of situations. With high Base ATK, Crit Rate, ATK%, and a conditional Crit DMG buff, based on the number of times she deals DoT. When Lacrimosa attacks a broken enemy, the passive extends the broken status by 3s. So it’s the best weapon for her.

Fluff of Fleetness comes from Battle Pass, and is considered a decent alternative if you already bought it. It increases Crit DMG and ramps up a decent ATK buff. But its stats at M0 are not worth picking over the F2P alternative. It will start to shine at higher “Mixing” (more dupes).

Youthful Fantasy is Daffodill’s signature, and the best F2P weapon for Lacrimosa. First copy can be obtained from Black Tome High-Risk Anomaly, and a second copy can be obtained from either spending 25 Tri-Keys on Arc shop, or from losing the 25:75 chance when getting S-Class Arc in any limited weapon banner. When you get the second copy, you can equip both Daffodill and Lacrimosa without hindering each other.

In the early game, before getting any S-Class weapon, use Shiny Days.

• Cartridge: Diabolos (S)
• Cartridge Main Stat: Chaos DMG%
• Substats: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / Universal DMG% / ATK%

Diabolos (S) is the best-in-slot cartridge for Lacrimosa in every scenario. The chaos resistance ignore is invaluable and very hard to come by from any other source, it acts as a damage multiplier. Triggering reactions more often further increase the chaos resistance ignored.

Console’s bonus gives Lacrimosa 10% Chaos DMG with every Type III module, and Diabolos set requires 2x Type III modules. So you can stack a total of four Type III modules for 40% Chaos DMG. That's a strong DPS multiplier for all of Lacrimosa damage.

For Main Stat, her ideal pick is always Chaos DMG. Her DoT has fixed 50% Crit Rate, so heavily investing in Crit stats have less impact than Chaos DMG. Her direct hits has full benefits of all DPS stats, so there's a niche case to be made for Crit on main stat if your Crit Rate to Crit Damage ratio is so skewed.

The ideal substats are Crit Rate, Crit Damage, DMG%, and ATK%.

Basic Attack > Ultimate > Skill > Support Skill

The majority of Lacrimosa’s DPS comes from variations of basic attacks, regardless of which form she stays on. Ultimate is next, then skill.

Quick Tips:

• Don't hold her basic attack during combat unless you intend to copy enemy skill. If you copy a wrong skill mid-fight, you might ruin your entire encounter.
• Ranged and Melee modes have roughly the same DPS, and the difference between Ultimate in each mode is not notable. Feel free to switch between them at will.
• Lacrimosa is the best character to spam dodge counter. Her counter gives her great positioning and applies 6 DoT stacks. It's better than being locked into full 5x normal combo and be susceptible to brutal enemies attacks.
• Lacrimosa prefer to take most of the field time, but can swap in and out without a downside if you are quick enough, since her DoT has 3 sec duration. Feel free to swap her out in these situations:
• • While she casts a Monster skill with long animation (Black Tome, or Tomato Devil)
  • To trigger Daffodill's Phantom Step on swap or to refresh Baicang DoT
  • To avoid enemy a big hit or to swap-parry with Fadia
  • Or cast allies' skills on cooldown

Lacrimosa will release in version 1.1 on June 3rd, 2026 for Global. She is the third limited banner in the game.
