How To Play - Lucia: Pyroath
Lucia Pyrooath is a S Rank Attacker Construct that specializes in dealing Fire Damage to enemies in a wide area. Her skill kit revolves around her switching between different combat modes in order to rotate her orbs and dealing massive amounts of damage to enemies while doing so.
Lucia: Pyroath Skill Kit
To fully understand how to play Lucia: Pyroath properly to unleash the entirety of her powerful damage potential, understanding her skill kit and the effects of each of her abilities is quite important.
Lucia: Pyroath’s 3 color pings each have their own effects when used, with an emphasis on her skill kit focusing mainly on her Red and Yellow Pings. When in her normal mode, pinging her yellow and red 3 pings will grant Lucia: Pyroath Aura Value in addition to dealing damage to enemies, which can be accumulated until her Aura Value gauge is filled. Lucia: Pyroath Blue Orbs 3 Pings will not grant her Aura value when pinged, however, using it will grant her Electric Charge overtime, and holding the 3 ping will allow her to do a massive attack when her Electric Charge is at max.
Lucia: Pyroath main gimmick lies in her Core ive and Signature move, which will allow her to alternate between different ground and airborne states. At the start of the fight, or when her Quench Value is maxed, her Signature button can be held, allowing her to trigger her transitional Fire Thunder state, which can be used to deal damage to enemies in order to accumulate Aura Value. Once her Aura Value reaches maxed, players will be able to trigger her Signature again and allow her to enter her airborne mode. During the airborne mode, Lucia: Pyroath can not be attacked by enemies and will deal massive amounts of damage in exchange for u her Aura Values. Once all of the Aura Value has been used up, she will be able to unleash a massive powerful Signature attack, dealing big damage to the enemy and returning to her ground mode.
Lucia: Pyroath’s normal attacks will change between the different modes, with its effects being affected by the different combat modes: While in her ground mode, Lucia: Pyroath’s normal attacks will accumulate Quench Value for her to quickly enter her Fire Thunder state. In her Fire Thunder State, after completing a Red and Yellow 3 pings, her normal attacks will be enhanced and will be able to accumulate Aura Value. Finally, in her airborne state, Lucia: Pyroath’s normal attacks can be held in order to constantly deal damage to enemies to consume Aura Value.
Lucia: Pyroath Playstyle & Combat Rotation
Due to her complex skill kit that may prove to be extremely difficult for players to have a grasp at the start, it is quite important for players to know about Lucia: Pyroath strong DPS rotation cycle in order to allow her to deal as much damage as possible. Additionally, with Lucia: Pyroath gameplay requiring precise button inputs and fast gameplay, players should take full advantage of LDPlayer’s The best Android Emulator on PC.
Her optimal damage rotation are as followed:
- Upon entering the battle, if you don’t have full quench value (red bar) then accumulate as much quench value to fill the bar as possible. Once the quench value is full, hold her signature button to enter Fire Thunder Mode.
- In Fire Thunder Mode, players should immediately use her Red 3 pings, then hold her normal attack button and then use her Yellow 3 Pings. This combo will allow her to deal big damage while also accumulating a large amount of Aura Value and grant her 1 stack of special attack. After this, attack the enemies with Red,Yellow 3 pings and normal attacks until the Aura Value fills up.
- Upon the Aura Value filling up to full, click the signature button to enter airborne mode. Once in airborne mode, simply hold her normal attack buttons to do constant slashes against the enemy and use up the Aura Value. Once the Aura Value has been used up, the signature button will turn blue, click it to deal a massive powerful attack against all enemies and end her airborne mode, also ending her full damage combo.
How To Build - Lucia: Pyroath
Lucia: Pyroath Best Weapons
For Lucia: Pyroath, like with all other DPS characters in Punishing Gray Raven, her optimal choice for weapon will be her signature weapon: Flamewing of Dawn
- Flamewing of Dawn: ATK increases by 10%. After performing Signature Move – Auxiliary Precision Slash, recovers 3 Signal Orbs. Entering Blazing Thunder Form will trigger Matrix if it is not on cooldown.
This weapon not only grants her a massive attack boost, it also allows her to regain 3 orb pings during the middle of her combo and allow her to enter Matrix easier, helping to smooth out her combo and allow her to accumulate her special stacks much easier.
Alternative, players can also use her 5* weapon as a substitute until you have obtained her signature 6* weapon:
- Mist Netherlight: Increase Fire DMG by 10%.
For Weapon Harmony, players should prioritize on getting the Dead Line Timing weapon Harmony, which grants her additional signal orbs when deployed and after she has been in the battle for a bit of time. This will allow her to do her combo more comfortably. Other options to consider are: Glorious Afterglow (Increase Weapon Attack) and Matrix Lightning (Increase movement speed and decrease enemies’ damage reduction in Matrix).
Lucia: Pyroath Best Memory Builds
For Lucia Pyroath memory builds, players can consider 2 different memory builds based around her signature memory set Heraclitus, which grants her additional fire damage and double her core and signature damage.
The best memory builds for Lucia: Pyroath are:
- Main General Build: 4 Pieces Heraclitus + 2 Pieces Cottie. For Weapon Harmony, you should pick an additional 2 Pieces Cottie. This memory build allows Lucia: Pyroath to focus on gaining a lot of energy and deal powerful damage with her signature moves while she is doing her full damage combo.
- Phantom Pain Cage Build: 4 Pieces Heraclitus + 2 Pieces Shakespeare. For Weapon Harmony, you should pick an additional 2 Pieces Shakespeare. This memory build allows Lucia: Pyroath to deal additional Fire Damage with all of her moves and attacks, allowing her to quickly defeat the enemy, which is the main target for Phantom Pain Cage stages.
For Memory Resonances, Players should focus on getting Any +Attack Options For Her Top 6 Memory Slots, and Signature Level Increase Options For Her Bottom 6 Memory Slots.
Lucia: Pyroath Evolution Priority
Finally, for Lucia: Pyroath Evolution levels, players should have some consideration to get extra copies for her in order to obtain character shards and increase her Evolution levels:
- S Tier: When using her Basic Attack and Signature, activates all available QTEs.
- SS Tier: Grants 25% Extra damage Bonus, grants Lucia: Pyroath more damage stacks when she is in her airborne mode and when she exits the airborne mode.
- SS3 Tier: Increases the base damage of her Basic Damage and grants herself additional Signature energy upon entering battle. Casting her Signature move will increase her QTE damage by 1000%.
- SSS Tier: Immediately grants Lucia: Pyroath the Aura Mark when entering the battlefield, which enhances the damage of her signature attacks. Lucia: Pyroath also receives additional signature energy when using her basic attacks.
- SSS3 Tier: Increase the basic attack damage of Lucia: Pyroath in all modes by 40%.
- SSS+ Tier: Increase the damage of her 3 pings and combo by 40%.
For general players, prioritizing getting Lucia: Pyroath to SS3 Tier is the most important milestone, as she will receive the most damage increase from evolution from her abilities once she reaches SS3 Tier. Additional Evolution stage increase will increase her damage output proportionally, but it will be an expensive investment overall.
