Note: E2 ACTION ADVANCE EFFECT CAN TRIGGER ONLY TWICE UNTIL THE START OF ACHERON'S TURN AFTER WHICH IT RESETS.

Major changes:

1. Shifted some effects because of personal thematic preference. I didn't like how her technique felt more like a Trace, and her Trace already covered it. Meanwhile, Red Oni benefited more from the White-hair form, which she does take during her Ultimate and Technique. So I switched them around. The first para of Talent was about Ultimate, and it was added to Talent because otherwise her Talent had nothing related to MV since it was about stacks.
2. Skill: MV was only slightly increased because it now bounces instead of dealing DMG to adjacent enemies, which makes the overall MV skyrocket.
3. Ultimate: Was revamped a lot. The All-Type RES Shred is now part of Ultimate. Now Acheron will gain a Multiplier buff for her Rainblades and Stygian Surge. Additionally, Crimson Knot will be removed after the Final Hit for all enemies, rather than after Rainblade and the DMG dealt by the removal of each Knot is increased. To balance it, the DMG dealt by the Crimson Knot would be ST and not AoE. But overall, it is a buff.
4. Talent: Now inflicts a status which will deal Additional Lightning DMG based on the number of Crimson Knot stacks.
5. Technique: Now incorporates part of A1.
6. A1: Now incorporates Part of Technique. Additionally, each stack of Quad-Ascendance gives a CRIT DMG Buff. And Crimson Stacks will prioritise elite enemies.
7. A4: Increase the Original DMG Bonus. Additionally, make Nihility units "detonator" of the Talent's Additional DMG effect. This naturally applies when Acheron uses her Ultimate for each individual hit. And buffed Bounce DMG for Ultimate.
8. A6: 100% DMG Bonus instead of 90%, which now lasts for a turn instead of the duration of Ultimate, meaning it will persist for the next use of Skill as well.
9. E1: A True DMG based on the number of debuffs + Crimson Knot stack that the enemy has, maxing at 3000% of Acheron's DMG. May sound like a lot,, but it's really just 60K True DMG if Acheron's ATK is 3K.
10. E2: Building on the reduction of reliance on Nihility, the detonation effect can now be triggered by any ally. Additionally, a small action advance since Acheron prefers using ATK Boots over SPD boots and wants to use Ultimate as much as possible.
11. E4: Easy Stack-Building.
12. E6: DOT-CHERON FOREVER.

This is from Dottore and Nahida’s conversation from Sumeru AQ. We never know the knowledge worth exchanging for Dendro Gnosis.

Since its hidden by Irminsul maybe we’ll know now.

With or without Hibiki

I pulled Linnea out of pure gamba. But since I do use Noelle as a DPS (Sometimes) I decided to make her one of my "Mainstream teams" with Linnea.

Question is - should I focus on Nolle's Personal DMG with C2 Xilonen + Furina or should I focus on more Lunar DMG with Columbina?

Pros for each:

1. Xilonen
   1. 36% Geo RES Shred
   2. 90% Geo DMG Bonus (40% from Scroll and 50% from C2)
   3. 45% HP for the Hydro Teammae (more useful for Furina)
   4. LOTS of Particles (Geo + Fav)
2. Furina
   1. Strong Sub DPS
   2. 100% teamwide DMG Bonus (Cuz C1)
3. Columbina
   1. 15% Additional Geo RES Shred from Linnea because of Ascendant Gleam - Which can be more or less depending on whether I replace Xilonen or Furina. But regardless, RES Shred is pretty diluted at that point because Geo Resonance + Xilonen + Linnea anyways brings it to ~60-70%
   2. 7% Base Lunar Crystallise Bonus
   3. 40% Lunar Reaction DMG Bonus
   4. Decent Lunar Crystallize Sub DPS (Not much)
   5. EM from Artefact

I am leaning towards Xilonen + Furina because I want to invest in Noelle's personal DMG as well and not feel like she's just a Lunar Crystallise driver

But I still want inputs.
