Yidhari
Yidhari is a high-risk, high-reward Ice DPS who excels at managing her own HP to maximize damage output. She is a recommended pull for players looking to master complex, HP-manipulation mechanics or those needing a powerful Ice-specialty unit.
Yidhari is a dynamic Ice attacker that uses her own HP as a resource to fuel powerful charged hammer attacks and rapid-fire EX Special chain sequences. Her unique Frost's Crushing Weight mechanic allows her to parry enemy strikes with her tentacles, simultaneously gaining charge levels while inflicting damage. As her health dips, her performance peaks, creating an intense gameplay loop defined by offensive sustainability and aggressive combos. By mastering her HP consumption and restoration windows, players can maintain consistent, high-pressure offense against even the toughest bosses.

CRIT Rate
When the equipper's HP decreases, their Ice Sheer DMG increases by 6/7/8/9/10%, stacking up to 3 times and lasting 25s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. This effect can trigger once every 0.5s. When the equipper's HP falls to 50% of Max HP or below, CRIT Rate increases by 20/23/26/29/32%.
Why it works —Kraken's Cradle is the best-in-slot, perfectly synergistic with her HP-decreasing playstyle to buff Ice Sheer DMG and CRIT Rate.
HP%
CRIT Rate increases by 20/23/26/29/32%. When the equipper launches an EX Special Attack, the character gains 1 stack of Qingming Companion effect, stacking up to 2 times and lasting 15s. On entering combat, immediately gain 2 stacks. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Each stack of the Qingming Companion effect increases the equipper's Ether DMG by 8/9.2/10.4/11.6/12.8%, and increases Ultimate and EX Special Attack Ether Sheer DMG by 10/11.5/13/14.5/16%.

HP%
The equipper's Fire DMG increases by 15/17.25/19.5/21.75/24%. When the equipper's HP decreases, their CRIT Rate increases by 15/17.25/19.5/21.75/24% for 5s.
Why it works —Grill O'Wisp offers decent CRIT stats upon HP loss but suffers from non-ideal Fire DMG sub-stats.
HP%
When the equipper activates an EX Special Attack, they gain 1 stack of a buff. Each stack increases the equipper's DMG by 4/4.6/5.2/5.8/6.4%, up to 3 stacks, and lasting 20s. This effect can trigger once every 0.5s, and repeated triggers reset the duration. At 3 stacks, the equipper's CRIT Rate increases by 6.5/7.5/8.5/9.4/10.4%.
Why it works —Cauldron of Clarity is a solid, reliable alternative providing stacking DMG and CRIT Rate bonuses via EX usage.
HP%
When launching a Chain Attack or Ultimate, the equipper gains 1 stack of a buff effect. Each stack increases the equipper's Sheer Force by 80/92/104/116/128, stacking up to 3 times, and lasting 12s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
