🔄 Core Combo Loop
The Theresia One-Hero Setup
Unlike most heroes, Theresia doesn't need a partner to set up her ailments. She does it all herself:
- Consecration — Apply Bleed, extend attack chain
- Celestial Verdict — Slam for Stun, opens Signal window
- Switch to teammate — Roxy or another hero triggers their Signal Skill on the Stunned enemy
- Switch back — Continue pressure with Divine Arc on Stunned targets
Because Theresia applies both Bleed and Stun alone, she's the most flexible team anchor in the game. Any hero that responds to either ailment works with her.
🛡️ Best Build (Endgame Consensus)
| Exclusive Karma | Merciful Death Sentence |
| Gear Sets | 3 Ruinsbreaker + 2 Holy Arbiter |
| Main Stats | ATK Power Up → Crit Hit Chance → Crit DMG |
| Substats | Additional Power > ATK Power Up > DEF Ignore |
| Rune | Resolve (or 5x Amplification for max crit damage) |
| Stat Targets | ~80% Crit Rate / ~150% Crit Damage |
Why This Build
- 3-pc Ruinsbreaker — DEF Ignore on Signal Skills (10s, 20% DEF penetration). Critical for boss damage.
- 2-pc Holy Arbiter — +15% damage to Stunned enemies. Perfectly matches Theresia's Stun-focused playstyle.
- Resolve — Reliable damage boost. Swap to Amplification x5 if you want to gamble on max crit damage.
👥 Best Team Compositions
| Team | Best For | Core Loop |
|---|---|---|
| Theresia + Roxy + Lute | Best all-around team | Bleed + Stun from Theresia → Roxy outputs during control → Lute heals |
| Theresia + Reina + Castella | Endgame best all-around | Current endgame benchmark. Works for nearly all activities. |
| Theresia + Castella + Lute | Long boss fights | Castella adds extra Stun application, Lute provides sustain |
| Lute + Theresia + Ornette | Beginners | Early unlocks, free gear, balanced sustain + damage, no complex mechanics |
| Theresia + Roxy + Castella | Bleed specialization | Maximize Bleed damage on high-HP targets. No healer — high skill. |
👹 Boss Fight Loop
- Open with Theresia's Celestial Verdict to apply Stun
- Once enemy is Stunned, switch to Roxy to trigger her Signal Skill
- Continue output through Roxy while target is controlled
- Use third hero (Lute for healing, Castella for extra Stun) to complete the loop
- Switch back to Theresia and repeat — Consecration → Celestial Verdict → Divine Arc burst
🎮 Combat Tips
Self-Sufficient Setup
Theresia doesn't need teammates to set up ailments. She applies Bleed + Stun alone — the only hero who can do both reliably.
Consecration First
Always open with Consecration to apply Bleed and extend your attack chain before using Celestial Verdict for Stun.
Divine Arc = Burst
Divine Arc on Stunned enemies is your main damage source. One of the highest burst skills in the entire game.
Holy Rise for Airborne
Holy Rise launches Bleeding enemies Airborne. Use this to integrate Theresia into Airborne team compositions.
Wide Mace Range
Twin maces have wider reach than most melee weapons. You'll rarely miss against groups, making her great for trash clears.
Awaken First
At 6★ awakening, passives and enhanced skills unlock. Only then is the crit stat line worth investing in.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Wrong element Karma — Always use her Exclusive Karma (Merciful Death Sentence), not a generic weapon
- 5-piece same set — Never use 5 of one set. 3+2 mixing (Ruinsbreaker + Holy Arbiter) is always better
- Ignoring DEF Ignore — DEF Ignore from Ruinsbreaker is critical for boss damage. Don't skip it
- Pure DPS mindset — Theresia's power comes from ailments, not raw attacks. Always be applying Bleed/Stun
- Early Exclusive Karma investment — Wait until you're sure Theresia is your main DPS before farming her exclusive materials
