Which heroes are suitable for the Outline of the Scarlet Moon< /h2>
This spear is suitable for characters whose skills are aimed at causing damage rather than supporting their allies. You can give Outlines of the Scarlet Moon to characters in both the main-dead and sub-dead positions. At the same time, it is important to ensure that fighters with this weapon in their hands do not receive treatment that removes Life Debt. Next, we'll take a closer look at several suitable options.
< /tr>
| Character | Benefits |
|---|---|
Harlequin | For the Harbinger, the outline of the scarlet moon is a sign. She will quite quickly and without problems receive the required Life Debt value, which gives the maximum bonus to damage. The spear will also extend the duration of this debuff, which will allow you to use a longer rotation on Harlequin. In addition, the weapon has a high base, which will have a positive effect on the damage, which scales precisely from the strength of the attack. An additional advantage is the fact that the heroine is not able to receive treatment from external sources, which means the Life Debt will not end at the most unexpected moment. |
< p> Xiang Ling | A very strong pocket damage dealer who only needs to hit a charged attack to get the damage bonus from the passive. A high base will help compensate for the lack of this stat in artifacts. But with Bennett or Chevreuse in the party, it can be quite problematic for Xiang Ling to keep Life Debt active. And without these allies and without weapons to restore energy, it becomes difficult to use the rollback ultimate. If you manage to balance these aspects, then the spear will become a very strong option. |
Hu Tao | Although a high base attack will not be as useful for her as HP and elemental mastery, it will still provide a good increase in damage. But at the same time, in order to maintain the bonus from the passive, Hu Tao will have to practically abandon the use of his ultimate. Because of this, when playing without a shield, her survivability can be seriously affected. |
Saino | If you prefer to play Saino with shielders rather than healers, Scarlet Moon Shape is a good choice. The spear will provide a large number of damage affixes, and the high base will allow you to concentrate on selecting elemental mastery in artifacts. |
There are also a few other heroes worth mentioning. Xiao will really like the attack bonus from the spear. But since all the best adept units include a healer, it can be difficult for him to activate the passive. Shen He will also appreciate a high base, but due to the nature of the gameplay mechanics, the heroine is much more suitable for weapons that provide energy restoration or direct attack power.
How to play with the Scarlet Moon Outline
When playing The following points should be remembered with this spear:
- Avoid adding healers to the squad. If the bearer of the Scarlet Moon Outline is a pocket damage dealer, then take healers who heal only active characters.
- Due to the lack of massive healing, Furina will become a bad ally for the bearer of this spear, since she simply will not be able to gain enough fanfare.
If the hero does not have his own Life Debt mechanics, then the rotation will look like this:
- Make a charged attack carrier to get the initial buff.
- Switch to other characters. In an ideal situation, their abilities should take 14 seconds to activate.
- Return to the spear bearer. If 14 seconds have passed, you can make a charged attack again to increase your life debt to 30% of your maximum HP. This way you will get the full bonus from the passive. Then you can move on to the usual method of dealing damage.
Note that for a pocket damage dealer, for example Xiang Ling, the usual rotation will be optimal. Just remember to do a charged attack before activating your ultimate. She will be able to receive the full bonus from the passive on her second appearance on the field.
