Talents & Constellations

Talents

Normal AttackFormule Phenomenale: Self-Evident Proposition

Generates threads that control her weapon using formulae, performing up to 3 consecutive strikes.

Normal Attack
Elemental SkillFormule Phenomenale: Differential Analysis

With her impeccable, ladylike poise, Sandrone boards the Tea Party Tactical Assault Hovermech and hovers forward for 6s. During this time, Sandrone can control the travel direction of the craft. Pressing Sprint consumes 10 Stamina and launches her into an elegant high-speed hover mode, in which she will move even faster at the cost of 15 Stamina per second. When Sandrone starts hovering, if there are opponents nearby, she will also summon a Prismatic Resonance Cannon and fire 2 Prism Shots at any opponents who have yet to cool down, dealing Cryo DMG. Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: The second Prism Shot will instead deal Cryo DMG that is considered Stellar-Conduct DMG. When on the Tea Party Tactical Assault Hovermech, Sandrone will also elegantly and quietly repair Fagio, causing Decoding Power to swiftly decrease.

Elemental Skill
Elemental BurstFormule Phenomenale: Q.E.D.

In line with established ladylike behavior, Sandrone summons a large number of Prismatic Resonance Cannons for a frontal bombardment before firing on her foes with a Convective Inhibition Ray, dealing AoE Cryo DMG. Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: The Convective Inhibition Ray instead deals AoE Cryo DMG that is considered Stellar-Conduct DMG.

Elemental Burst
1st Ascension PassiveEternal Speculation Engine

Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: When using the Elemental Skill Formule Phenomenale: Differential Analysis, if Fagio's Decoding Power is greater than 50, the second Prism Shot fired by Fagio at nearby opponents will deal 400% of its original DMG as Fagio's Decoding Power is decreased. Additionally, for every 10 points of Decoding Power Fagio loses, it gains 1 stack of Refined Tactics for 60s (max 10 stacks). When Sandrone uses the Elemental Burst Formule Phenomenale: Q.E.D. while in the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct state, all stacks of Refined Tactics are cleared, causing the Convective Inhibition Ray to deal 100% + (number of stacks cleared) × 10% of its original DMG.

Passive

Increases Sandrone's Elemental Mastery based on her ATK. Every 100 ATK will increase her Elemental Mastery by 8. The maximum increase she can gain this way is 160.

When in Decoding mode, Fagio's Decoding Power increases at a 50% lower rate, and all party members deal 30% increased Stellar-Conduct DMG.

Is it worth getting?

Solid upgrade, nice to have but not essential for most content.

C2An Heiress Gazed Into the Looking-GlassPull Target

Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: Increases CRIT DMG from Charged Attack condensed beams by 40%. Also, each time a beam is fired, CRIT DMG dealt by all condensed beams fired during this Decoding mode period will be further increased by 20%. Max 3 stacks.

Meaningful upgrade worth targeting. Sandrone's C6 and C4 are her strongest Constellations overall, while C2 is her strongest early Constellation.

C3Refuse the Wake of Dusk, the Moonlit YokePull Target

Increases the Level of Formule Phenomenale: Self-Evident Proposition by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

Is it worth getting?

C4In Knowledge Lies the World's True GroundPull Target

When Sandrone deals Stellar-Conduct DMG to an opponent, she will also summon an extra Prismatic Resonance Cannon to fire off a coordinated attack which deals Cryo DMG at 125% of her ATK. This DMG is considered Stellar-Conduct DMG, and the effect can occur once every 4s.

Is it worth getting?

Large power spike strongly recommended if you play this character regularly.

C6Narcissus Wakes, Her Eyes Upon the DawnPull Target

When Fagio fires a condensed beam for the third time while in Decoding mode, the beam becomes a more powerful Condensed Cluster Beam that fires continuously. This beam will deal up to 4 additional instances of AoE Cryo DMG at 100% of Sandrone's ATK on top of any subsequent original beam fired. Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: The Condensed Cluster Beam will instead deal 4 additional instances of AoE Cryo DMG at 80% of Sandrone's ATK. This DMG is considered Stellar-Conduct DMG. Additionally, all Stellar-Conduct DMG dealt by Sandrone is elevated by 20%.

Is it worth getting?

Large power spike strongly recommended if you play this character regularly.

C0 Sandrone is solid and clears all content without any constellations.
