List of All Character Stats and Rank

Is Ashveil Worth Pulling?

Ashveil's pull value will depend on the characters you already have. If you have premium Follow-up units like Feixiao, or generalist Supports like Sunday and Tribbie, Ashveil is worth pulling for the Follow-up Attacks and the damage he dishes out.

You can consider skipping Ashveil if you don't plan on building a Follow-up attack-centric team.

Should You Pull for Ashveil's Light Cone?

Ashveil's Light Cone, The Finale of a Lie, provides the wearer with a huge CRIT Rate stat. This also increases Ashveil's ATK and the damage taken by enemies after using Follow-up attacks.

Ashveil's Light Cone provides a considerable damage buff for Follow-up attack teams, but you can make do with other Light Cones, such as Cruising in the Stellar Sea.

As a Follow-Up ATK DPS, Ashveil's best Relic set is the Ashblazing Grand Duke for the Follow-Up ATK DMG and bonus ATK% whenever he does a Follow-Up Attack. Ashveil's Planar Ornament is City of Converging Stars since it increases his ATK, and provides CRIT DMG to the entire party.

Ashveil primarily wants CRIT and ATK% stats to enhance the damage of his Follow-Up Attacks.

Recommended Stat Values

For Ashveil's stats, get as close to 100% CRIT Rate as you can since he can only hit enemies once. Ashveil gets a lot of CRIT DMG from his Traces, but try to get around 150% CRIT DMG or above for optimal damage.

blade shouldn't be included, but dhpt is f2p cuz f2p doesn't mean newbie. f2p just means free to play, aka characters that you can get for free. yeah sure, he's no longer claimable but he was at one point

36 Anonymous Anonymous 3 months

Mortenax Blade shouldn't be in the f2p team. DHPT also should not be considered as f2p in that team because he is no longer free. He was given out for free only for a limited time. New players can not get him for free.
