Pyrois
Pyrois acts as a premier Ether main DPS capable of massive bursts and stun manipulation. Their unique ability to cycle through multiple Ultimate branches makes them incredibly flexible for various combat encounters.
Pyrois is an Ether-attribute attacker who thrives on the 'Solar Prominence' mechanic, which is accumulated through combat and specific skill rotations. Players can choose between diverse Ultimate branches to trigger unique buffs, ranging from increased CRIT DMG against stunned targets to sustained energy and damage bonuses. The character features a unique off-field attack integration via Phaethon, rewarding rhythmic switching and precise EX Special Attack timing. Mastering the transition between Celestial Light and core abilities is essential for maximizing damage output.

ATK%
CRIT Rate increases by 20/23/26/29/32%. When the equipper is Pyrois, using an Ultimate grants the Eclipse effect. When the Eclipse effect is active, DMG dealt by the equipper ignores 16/17.5/19/20.5/22% of Ether RES, lasting 45s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. When the equipper enters combat, they gain the Eclipse effect.
Why it works —Sol Exuvia (S5) provides the highest CRIT Rate scaling and performance efficiency for Pyrois.

When the equipper enters combat, they gain the Eclipse effect.
Why it works —Sol Exuvia (S1) remains the baseline gold standard for Pyrois's intended kit design.
CRIT Rate
Increases CRIT Rate by 15/17/19/21/23%. When the equipper deals DMG with a Basic Attack or EX Special Attack, they gain 1 stack of a buff. Each stack increases the equipper's Electric DMG by 12.5/14.5/16.5/18.5/20%, up to 2 stacks. Each stack lasts 40s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. Can trigger once per use of a skill. At 2 stacks, the wearer's Basic Attack and Ultimate DMG ignore 20/23/26/29/32% of enemy DEF.
Why it works —Cordis Germina offers respectable stats but lacks the synergy provided by the signature engine.
