Danica's Stat Priority
: Energy Recharge > ATK % > Elemental Mastery
: ATK % > Elemental Mastery
: CRIT > ATK % > Elemental MasterySupport Danica prioritizes ATK and Energy Recharge. Her Elemental Burst provides ATK buffs based on Danica's own ATK, making ATK extremely important for maximizing her teamwide support. Energy Recharge is equally important because she wants to use her Burst every rotation. Danica also deals off-field Stellar-Conduct damage, so CRIT and Elemental Mastery remain useful once her ATK and Energy requirements are met.
Recommended Stats for Danica
Build recommendations assume a "decently built" level of artifact rolls. Using different weapons may increase or decrease certain stats relative to these recommendations.
: ATK % > Elemental Mastery: ATK % > Elemental Mastery: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG > ATK %DPS Danica is an ATK-scaling Stellar-Conduct damage dealer and should be built similarly to other reaction DPS characters. ATK and CRIT are her main offensive stats, while Elemental Mastery further improves her Stellar-Conduct damage. Energy Recharge is still useful because she wants to use her Elemental Burst every rotation, but around 120-130% is generally enough when Danica is played on-field.
Recommended Stats for Danica
Build recommendations assume a "decently built" level of artifact rolls alongside Wolf's Gravestone. Using other weapons may increase or decrease certain stats relative to these recommendations.
Danica's Talent Priority
Danica's Elemental Skill should be prioritized first, as it is responsible for a large portion of her personal damage and is also important for her support gameplay. Her Elemental Burst should be leveled next, as it provides her ATK-based team buffs and contributes additional damage. Her Normal Attack talent has the lowest priority.
How to Play Danica
As a support, Danica provides off-field Electro application, a powerful Shield, ATK buffs, RES Shred, and additional Stellar-Conduct support. Her rotation is very simple: use her Elemental Skill first to activate her Shield and off-field Electro application, then use her Elemental Burst to activate her ATK buffs before swapping to your main DPS. Danica requires very little field time, making her easy to fit into most Stellar-Conduct rotations.
As an on-field DPS, Danica's Elemental Skill infuses her Normal Attacks with Electro, which is where a large portion of her damage comes from. Start by using her Elemental Skill, followed by her Elemental Burst. Her Burst deals Electro damage and further enhances the Normal Attacks granted by her Skill. From there, remain on-field and repeatedly use Normal Attacks until her damage window ends before swapping back to your supports.
Danica's Best Constellations
Danica's C1 is a solid early upgrade, helping solve her higher Energy requirements while also increasing her personal damage and providing additional ATK buffs for the team. Her C2 is her strongest early Constellation, significantly increasing the team's overall damage and making her an even stronger Stellar-Conduct support.
Danica's C1 is a good upgrade for her DPS playstyle, providing additional Energy while also improving both her personal damage and ATK buffs. Her C2 is the major stopping point, significantly increasing both Danica's own damage and the damage of her entire team, making her one of the strongest Electro DPS options at this investment level.
