Lacrimosa Build Guide: 1.1 Limited S-Rank Chaos DoT Main DPS, The Last Rose Signature Arc, Nightmare-Layer Detonation

Key Answer: Lacrimosa is the 1.1 “Dream-Roaming Corridor” limited S-rank Chaos DoT Main DPS (shown in-game as the “Nightmare attribute”), with a Liquid Arc, Japanese CV Maria Naganawa (Kanna), serving as an Anomaly Management Bureau ETD-4 operative. She released on the Taiwan server on 6/3. Her core loop: stack Nightmare layers → detonate on the 5th hit. Signature Arc The Last Rose (ATK +28% + Chaos Thorn crit DMG up to +120%). The Discord Nightmare team is her BiS: Lacrimosa + Daffodill (break) + Sakiri + Fadia.

✅ Live now: Lacrimosa launched on 2026/06/03 (Global + Taiwan) (CN server 5/28). Skill names follow the official localization.

3. Skill Kit

The core is Nightmare (Nightmare-layer / tomato) DoT stacking → detonation, switching between two basic-attack forms.

Basic Attack — Tomato Metal

• Two forms: Frying Pan and Red Jelly (Tomato Jelly)
• Deals Nightmare (Chaos) damage with a chance to apply Nightmare layers
• Filling the stacks enters Bat Form, with fully enhanced animations, hitboxes, and multipliers
• ⭐ Burst point: the 5th hit detonates all Nightmare layers

E Shift — Flavor Variation

• An AoE Nightmare skill that stacks Nightmare layers quickly, with a short cooldown — the core of routine layer upkeep
• ⭐ It’s the trigger that instantly grants 10 stacks of Chaos Thorn from the signature Arc “The Last Rose”

Support / Synergy — Morning Tomato / Devil’s Gift

• Provides buffs on swap-in, with bonus Nightmare effects under specific conditions
• Extremely strong synergy with teammates like Baicang and Sakiri who can trigger Esper reactions

Q Ultimate — Working Day Judgement

• Cast when Nightmare layers are plentiful (near max), delivering massive instant burst + an enhanced DoT

Passive — Microwake

• Boosts DoT damage multipliers while Nightmare stacks are maintained, with extra effects on entering Bat Form
• (⚠️ The rumored “Tomato Feast +400% ATK” is unconfirmed; the value is TBD, defer to the in-game text)

Core Rotation

Upkeep (E Flavor Variation) → stack Nightmare layers via basic attacks (Frying Pan/Jelly)
→ 5th hit detonates all Nightmares → Ultimate enhanced detonation → restack

The goal is “stack to full → detonate at once → reload.”

4. Eidolons / Awakenings

Awakening	English name	Effect	Priority
A1	Clock Out Clemency	Nightmare damage multiplier +50% (doubles the burst)	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A2	Rise and Shine	+15% self damage for 15 seconds on a support-skill swap-in	⭐⭐⭐
A3	Molten Ice Cream	The 5th basic-attack hit detonates all of the target’s Nightmare effects at once — a game-changer	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A4	Almighty Lord of Tomatoes	Extends Nightmare duration to 6 seconds	⭐⭐⭐
A5	Tempered Glass Judgement	Nightmare layers aren’t removed when the target is healed; lowers the target’s max HP	⭐⭐
A6	Morning Spell	For 5 seconds after Devil’s Gift, automatically casts the support skill when a Nova/Scorch/Discord character swaps in	⭐⭐⭐

Key Eidolons

• ⭐ A3 “Molten Ice Cream” is a game-changer — it turns Lacrimosa from a “slow, trickling DoT” into a “5th-hit-detonation burst Main DPS”
• A1 directly doubles her burst damage
• Awakening priority: A3 > A1 > A6 > A2 > A4 > A5
• Playable at E0 and capable as a Main DPS — the game-changer is at A3. F2P players can simply lock in E0

5. Best Gear

⭐ Signature Arc: The Last Rose (limited S-rank Liquid)

Stat	Value
Base ATK	570
Sub-stat	Crit Rate 24%
Core passive “Bohemian Rose”	ATK +14-28% (+28% at max level); each DoT dealt grants 1 stack of “Chaos Thorn,” and each stack gives Crit DMG +6-12% (+12% at max), up to 10 stacks → about +120% Crit DMG at full stacks; casting a shift skill instantly grants 10 stacks of Chaos Thorn; extends the stagger-break window by 3 seconds against stagger-broken enemies

⭐ A perfect fit for Lacrimosa: all of her attacks apply Nightmare DoT → continuously generating Chaos Thorn → easily keeping max Crit DMG.

Alternative Arcs

• Pitch-Black Adolescent Delusion (Daffodill’s free signature Arc, Chaos attribute) — matching attribute but below the signature Arc in stats
• Fluff of Fleetness — stable attack power
• Youthful Fantasy — base attack power

Gear: Diabolos 4-Piece Set (Chaos set)

Pieces	Effect
2-piece	Chaos damage +10%
4-piece	Ignores 12% of the enemy’s Chaos resistance; after participating in a Nova / Scorch reaction, ignores an extra 24% Chaos resistance for 20 seconds

⭐ BiS in all scenarios — “ignoring Chaos resistance” has almost no other source, effectively a direct multiplicative damage boost.

Stat Priority

Slot	Priority
Main stat	Chaos DMG%
Sub-stats	Crit DMG > Crit Rate (the signature Arc covers Crit Rate) > generic DMG% > ATK%

6. Recommended Teams

Naming note: Daffodill = Daphnir (stagger-break trigger).

1. Discord Nightmare Team (highest theoretical strength) ⭐

Lacrimosa + Daffodill (stagger-break) + Sakiri + Fadia

• Daffodill handles stagger-break (triggering Lacrimosa’s passive and the signature Arc’s extended break)
• Sakiri maintains the energy loop / damage buffs
• Fadia provides survivability

2. ETD-4 Nostalgia Comp (Baicang synergy)

Baicang + Fadia + Lacrimosa + Skia

• ⭐ Highlight: Lacrimosa and Baicang share a dedicated “Passion Link” — swapping to Baicang in Bat Form triggers an instant attack, a silence, and +20% ATK for the whole team; it also completes the triple Discord loop

3. Budget Substitute Team

Swap in Mint for Nanally and Fadia for Haniel to boost survivability, with little DoT loss

Complementary Relationship with Daffodill (key point)

• Daffodill was the Chaos Main DPS in 1.0, but shifts into a stagger-break trigger / sub-slot from 1.1 on
• Lacrimosa takes over as the new-generation Chaos Main DPS (on-field DoT)
• They aren’t competitors but a golden “stagger-break trigger + Main DPS” pairing

7. Should You Pull?

Situation	Recommendation
Want a Chaos / DoT Main DPS	⭐ Strongly recommended — the Chaos powerhouse of 1.1, with extremely high synergy between her signature Arc and the Diabolos set
Already have Daffodill	You can build the strong dual-Chaos team “Daffodill break + Lacrimosa Main DPS”
F2P players	Locking in E0 is enough to perform at a Main DPS level (the game-changer is A3, which you can revisit later); save up to 90-120 pulls before opening the banner, prioritizing the character first and only considering the signature Arc banner if resources allow
Role difference vs. Daffodill	Daffodill leans “stagger-break / utility”; Lacrimosa is the true on-field DoT sustained Main DPS, with a playstyle built around stacking and detonating Nightmare layers — a completely different feel

8. Name Origin / Lore

• Lacrimosa is Latin for “tearful / weeping” (root lacrima = tears)
• It comes from the most famous movement of Mozart’s Requiem (K.626) — “Lacrimosa” (the Day of Weeping) — depicting the Day of Judgement, sinners being judged, and a plea for rest
• Mozart died while writing this very movement, leaving an unfinished manuscript — the “unfinished Requiem” is itself laden with mourning and regret
• Echoing the character’s themes: “Requiem” = a Mass for the rest of the dead; “Lacrimosa = tears” echoes her Nightmare + tears theme; she torments enemies with Nightmare DoT and reaps them in the name of “judgement” (her skill “Working Day Judgement”), while the tomato (red) motif is her contrasting personality
