Чтобы раскрыть весь потенциал Шкатулки истин, ее необходимо довести до максимального пробуждения. The catalyst is available exclusively in a temporary weapon banner, and for a full boost you will have toknock out five copies – not an easy task, as it requires a significant amount of primogems. In the screenshot above you can study how the presence of constants poured into awakening affects the weapon’s performance.

Gameplay of the Box of Truth catalyst

The entire mechanics of weapons come down to the competent use of two effects – The Secret of Lies (buff on MS) and Moon of Truth (buff on crit. damage). Here are the basic principles that will help you unlock the potential of the catalyst:

• Keep an eye on the source of damage. For the passive to work fully, it is important that the weapon bearer personally deals damage with Lunar Budding, and not just participate in its activation – this can be understood by the unique design of the numbers when attacking the enemy (italics with a light green gradient);
• Combine buffs correctly. Squeezing E-shki includes the Secret of Lies, giving from 80 units. MS. When a character deals damage with Lunar Budding, the Moon of Truth is activated, increasing crit. damage from 24%. If both bonuses are active at the same time, they become 2 times more powerful. Try to combine their uptime so as not to lose the maximum benefit of buffs;
• Collect a balanced pack. The catalyst works great in dendro + hydro commands with the Budding or Lunar Budding reactions. It’s good if the squad has a stable source of hydro-status and buffers, and the owner of the catalyst as the main DD.

The following rotation will help with the implementation of the catalyst:

1. Activate all buffs and defensive skills (shields, healing);
2. Apply a stable one to the enemy a hydro source that will be maintained throughout the attacks of the damage dealer with the Box;
3. Switch to the owner of the Box of Truths and use the E-shka – the first buff will be activated. Next, deal damage with Lunar Budding to make the second buff active (if the main damage control is dendro, then attacking an enemy with hydro status with an E-shock will itself activate the reaction, so the buffs will act simultaneously);
4. Use maximum buffs for 12 seconds, and then repeat the cycle.

Such The playstyle allows you to maintain constant bonuses and produce stable damage, especially in teams with Nefer or Lauma, who can consistently activate Lunar Budding.

Which characters to place the Box of Truths

The catalyst is ideal for main or secondary damage dealers who play in squads through dendro reactions and need increased crits and elemental mastery, as well as those who regularly use the elemental skill (E) in rotation.

The key condition is the ability to deal damage with Lunar Budding, otherwise the second part of the effect will remain unused.

Optimal weapon carriers:

Otherwise, the Box is suitable for any main or sub-DD focused on damage from elemental reactions, especially those who value critical damage and elemental mastery. At the same time, without the ability to cause damage with Lunar Budding, the weapon loses its uniqueness and can be replaced with alternatives of even lower rarity.
