Sigrika

Quick Verdict

Pull Sigrika if you like her and you own, or plan to pull, one of her two amplifiers — Lucilla or Qiuyuan. She is a DPS, so personal preference comes first, but she is also team-dependent: those two feed her gauges through their multiple Echo Skill casts, and her tested teams without them sit a clear step below. Her amplifier teams test almost identically, so this review names no number 1 team — the choice between Lucilla and Qiuyuan is made on utility the projection does not show, explained in Team Fit & Account Value.

At S0, Sigrika is already a complete main DPS: the full Rune engine, both Runic Heavy variants, and her finisher all work without sequences. For low spenders, S0 is enough. If you want vertical investment, S2 is the first realistic stopping point — the page's sequence chart jumps to 126% there — with S3 (169%) as the big mid-investment stop and S6 (270%) as the whale ceiling.

How Sigrika Works

Sigrika plays as an on-field carry with a setup phase and a finisher, about 12.75 seconds of field time in the tested rotations. Her kit has three resources — Runes, Full Stop, and Soliskin Vitality — plus one team-fed buff gauge, Blessing of Runes. Follow them in the order they happen:

Step one — Intro and the first Basic string. Her Intro grants Convergent for 20 seconds (the next Rune she gains comes with a second Rune of the same type). Her Basic Attack Stage 4 puts her in the Decipher state for 5 seconds (it ends early if she swaps out), and inside Decipher her moves upgrade: Normal Attack casts Basic Attack - Elucidated, her Skill casts BIG BOOMY BOOM! — or, once she holds at least 50 Full Stop, Soliskin to the Aid. All of these are Echo Skill damage, and their hits grant Runes: Elucidated-type hits give Rune: Trust, Skill-type hits give Rune: Answer.

Step two — spend the Runes. Her Forte Heavy, Schemata of Runes, consumes her Runes and changes form based on what it eats: one Trust plus one Answer becomes Runic Outburst, two Trust become Runic Chain Whip (which Stagnates nearby targets), and two Answer become Runic Soliskin (which pulls them in). All are Echo Skill damage. This is also where Soliskin Vitality is spent: if she holds at least 30 points when the Runes are consumed, 30 points are consumed to increase that Runic move's multipliers by 50% and grant a stack of Innate Gift? (with less than 30, all of it is consumed and every 10 points gives 15% DMG Amplification instead). Each Innate Gift? stack — up to 2 at S0 — amplifies her Runic moves and her finisher by 30%, and the stacks are spent when she casts the finisher or swaps out.

Step three — Full Stop and the finisher. Every Schemata of Runes cast grants 50 Full Stop (max 100). At 50 or more, her Basic Attack cycle starts from Stage 2 — that is why the tested rotation strings read "Basic 2, 3, 4" — and Soliskin to the Aid becomes available in Decipher. At 100, holding her Skill consumes all Full Stop to cast Forte Circuit - Learn My True Name, her biggest hit, also Echo Skill damage.

Her Liberation deals Echo Skill damage and grants Divergent for 20 seconds (the next Rune gained comes with one of the opposite type — Convergent takes priority when both are held, and neither works at 100 Full Stop).

The team-fed gauges are the reason her partners matter. When any Resonator in the team casts an Echo Skill, Sigrika gains 10 Soliskin Vitality (max 60) and 1 stack of Blessing of Runes (max 6). Blessing of Runes gives the active Resonator 3% Aero DMG and 3% Echo Skill DMG per stack, and at 6 stacks Sigrika gains another 30% of each. Two rules shape the counting: Echoes with the same name only trigger each gauge once, and her own Echo cast counts too. This is where her amplifiers come in — Qiuyuan provides four casts per rotation (his own Echo plus his three Forte Heavies, each considered an Echo Skill cast) and Lucilla provides four as well (her own Echo plus her three Oblivion Forte hits, each considered a different Echo Skill cast, so they avoid the same-name rule). Add Shorekeeper's Echo as the fifth and Sigrika's own Echo as the sixth, and the team exactly caps both gauges — 60 Vitality and 6 Blessing stacks — before she swings. In her Ciaccona teams the count is only three casts (Ciaccona's Echo, the third slot's, and her own), so both gauges sit at half.

Her Outro is a 795% ATK hit that leaves 2 stacks of Encapsulated for 30 seconds: any teammate's Echo Skill cast Stagnates the target and consumes one stack. Small but free utility, and it keeps the Echo-cast theme running after she leaves.

Tested rotation — identical in all six tested teams, about 12.75 seconds:

Intro > Echo > Basic 2, 3, 4 > Heavy > Liberation > Basic 2, 3, 4 > Heavy > Hold Skill > Outro

Build Priorities

Sigrika's tested damage profile with Qiuyuan and Shorekeeper:

• Echo (Echo Skill damage): 86.94%
• Basic Attack: 4.46%
• Outro: 4.23%
• Tune Break: 3.61%
• Intro: 0.77%

Build her as the Echo Skill carry she is — anything that buffs Echo Skill damage covers 87% of her output.

• Sub-stat priority: Crit Rate, Crit DMG, ATK%, Energy Regen.
• Talent priority: Normal Attack Lv. 10, Forte Circuit Lv. 10, Resonance Liberation Lv. 10, Resonance Skill Lv. 6, Intro Skill Lv. 6.

Build targets:

Her Inherent Skill converts every 1% of Energy Regen over 125% into 2% Echo Skill DMG Bonus, up to 50% — which caps at exactly 150% Energy Regen. The tested 137.6% balances her bonus against the site's standardized sub-stat budget, but 150% is the true maximum — the page's Echo comparison puts the 150% build at 100% and the 137.6% build at about 94%, so reach for 150% through sub-stats if your Echoes allow it.

Her Echo set is Sound of True Name with Nameless Explorer as the main Echo (12% Aero DMG and 20% Echo Skill DMG). The 5-piece gives 20% Echo Skill Crit Rate and 15% Aero DMG for 5 seconds whenever she deals Echo Skill damage — permanent uptime in her kit. Main stats, in the comparison's context with Shorekeeper and Qiuyuan at 150% Energy Regen: 1× Crit DMG Cost 4 + 2× ATK Cost 3 at 100%, with ATK/Aero Cost 3 at 99.27% — within half a percent, so sub-stat quality decides. One clear warning from the same comparison: an Energy Regen Cost 3 sits at 91.50% even in the 150% setup — get your Energy Regen from sub-stats, never from a main stat.

Her best weapon is Solsworn Ciphers, her signature, and as a main DPS she is exactly the character who should have her signature at R1: casting her Intro or Echo Skill grants Echo Skill DMG Amplification, and her Echo Skill hits ignore part of the target's DEF — both effects land on the one damage type that is 87% of her kit. The page comparison, calculated with Shorekeeper: Solsworn Ciphers R1 at 100%, Blazing Justice R1 at 87.03%, Abyss Surges R1 at 83.83%, Verity's Handle R1 at 82.25%, Daybreaker's Spine R1 at 82.19%, Tragicomedy R1 at 82.12%, and Moongazer's Sigil R1 at 76.71%. The alternatives are usable backups, but the signature is the recommendation, not a luxury.

Team Fit & Account Value

Sigrika's team story is one slot: the amplifier slot, and it belongs to Lucilla or Qiuyuan. Her two tested amplifier structures — Sigrika with Lucilla and Shorekeeper, and Sigrika with Qiuyuan and Shorekeeper — test almost identically, so this review names no number 1 team. Lucilla's fast-rotation version edges ahead, her normal-speed version edges behind, and Qiuyuan's team sits in between at the lowest difficulty of the three. Choose on what the projection does not show:

• Lucilla's edge is never damage — it is one stack of Glacio Chafe. Her Intro, Clip It, applies 1 Glacio Chafe stack with no mode condition, so it lands even in Echo Mode. Glacio Chafe is a Negative Status, and game modes regularly run buffs keyed to Negative Statuses — for example, enemies affected by a Negative Status may have their Attribute RES reduced — so a single stack from her Intro can switch that buff on for the whole team, real damage the tested projection never counts. Qiuyuan applies no Negative Status and cannot trigger it. In Sigrika's teams Lucilla runs Moonlit Clouds for the team buff rather than her personal-damage set, the Heron Echo cast makes her about 0.2 seconds slower than in her own teams, and her fast rotation depends on the Perfect Focus release (difficulty 2 in the tested data).
• Qiuyuan's edge is comfort and buff concentration. His is the easiest tested version (difficulty 0), his Outro's 50% Echo Skill DMG Amplification and his Bamboo's Shade bonus land entirely on her one damage type, and his four Echo Skill casts per rotation do most of the work of capping her gauges. If you do not want to practice Lucilla's release timing, his team is the same answer with easier execution.

Shorekeeper is the tested sustain in both amplifier structures — her Crit buffs are why the page's build targets drop to 53% Crit Rate and 320% Crit DMG with her in the team (75%/280% without). Verina is the listed budget alternative in that slot. Two other tested routes exist and both sit a clear step below the amplifier teams: the Erosion route with Ciaccona (plus Shorekeeper or Rover Aero — Rover's cap raise and Ciaccona's Erosion amplification keep it functional, but it feeds only three Echo casts, half her gauges) and the Tune Rupture route with Lynae and Mornye.

Her honest limits, stated plainly: without Echo-cast feeders her gauges starve — Soliskin Vitality decides whether her Heavies get their 50% multiplier boost, and Blessing of Runes is free damage for the whole team that she cannot fill alone. Opportunity cost cuts both ways as well: Lucilla is wanted by Hiyuki's teams, and Qiuyuan is wanted by Galbrena's and Phrolova's — the other Echo Skill carries compete for the same two amplifiers she does, so check who is committed where before building her core.

Sequence Value

Sigrika is complete at S0 — the Rune engine, both Runic Heavy variants, and Learn My True Name all function without sequences. The page's sequence damage chart: S0 100% → S1 108% → S2 126% → S3 169% → S4 178% → S5 178% → S6 270%.

• S1 — The Gleam Meant for Radiance (3/5): +70% multipliers on her four Decipher moves (Elucidated, Dodge Counter - Decipher, BIG BOOMY BOOM!, Soliskin to the Aid), interruption immunity while casting them, and Encapsulated upgraded to 3 stacks. 108% on the chart — useful, not a stopping point.
• S2 — The Bitterness Steeped in Hope (5/5): The first real stopping point, at 126%. Learn My True Name's multiplier increases by 120% — her single biggest hit — and she gains Divergent automatically after 4 seconds out of combat, smoothing every fight's opening.
• S3 — I Flee, Yet I Seek (4/5): The big mid-investment stop, at 169%. Innate Gift? stacks up to 4 times and is no longer removed when she casts Learn My True Name or swaps out — her amplifier stacks stop resetting between rotations. The 169% is calculated in the second rotation, where she holds 3–4 Gift stacks; in the first rotation S3 gives nothing extra.
• S4 — I Lose, Yet I Gain (1/5): A small team node — when any Resonator casts an Echo Skill, the team gains 20% ATK for 20 seconds. 178% on the chart.
• S5 — Until Submerged by the Dark (1/5): +30% Liberation multiplier. The chart stays at 178% — her Liberation is one cast in a long string of bigger hits.
• S6 — True Names Resurfaced, Rising in Light (5/5): Her whale ceiling at 270%. Targets take 30% more damage from her, and each Innate Gift? stack additionally grants her Runic moves and finisher 15% DMG Amplification (up to 60%) and 7.5% DEF ignore (up to 30%).
