Danica's Strengths & Weaknesses
Danica can perform well as either an on-field DPS or a support for Stellar-Conduct teams, giving her excellent flexibility.
She provides a powerful Shield, filling the missing sustain role in many premium Stellar-Conduct teams.
As a Claymore user, Danica has access to several strong Standard Banner weapons such as Wolf's Gravestone and Skyward Pride.
Danica can replace Yae Miko in many Stellar-Conduct teams while also providing sustain and teamwide buffs, making these compositions significantly more comfortable and versatile.
Danica is not the strongest Electro DPS at C0 and is comparatively weaker than dedicated Electro carries such as Cyno and Mitya.
She loses a large portion of her support value outside Stellar-Conduct teams, making her significantly weaker when paired with generic Electro DPS characters.

Danica's Talents
Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes.
Charged Attack
Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous slashes.
At the end of the sequence, performs a more powerful slash.
Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Swings her chain and anchor, dealing AoE Electro DMG to nearby opponents and summoning an Anchor that follows the current on-field character's movements.
While the Anchor is present, it will assist in combat in different ways depending on whether Danica is on the field.
When Danica is Off-Field
When the current on-field character in the party hits opponents with Electro or Cryo attacks, the Anchor will launch a Coordinated Attack, dealing AoE Electro DMG at the opponents' location. This effect can trigger at most once every 1.5s.
When Danica is On-Field
Danica's Normal Attacks will be converted into Special Attacks using the anchor, dealing Electro DMG that cannot be overridden by infusion. This DMG is considered Normal Attack DMG.
Excitement
While the Anchor is present, Danica can accumulate Excitement by performing anchor Special Normal Attacks or by having the current on-field character in the party hit opponents with Cryo or Electro attacks. When Excitement reaches its maximum, depending on whether Danica is on-field, all Excitement can be consumed to unleash different special Elemental Skills and enter the corresponding Maid Form:
Defense Maid
When Danica is off-field, switch to bring Danica on-field, automatically triggering "Entry Skill E2", and entering Defense Maid. Generates a Shield for the on-field character and refreshes the Anchor's Duration. During this time, "On-Field Skill E2" cannot be triggered.
Battle Maid
When Danica is on-field, the Elemental Skill will be replaced by "On-Field Skill E2". After using it, Danica enters Battle Maid. While in this state, after using "On-Field Skill E2", the anchor Special Normal Attacks can skip certain Normal Attack combo hits. During this time, "Entry Skill E2" cannot be triggered.
Additionally, when the Anchor disappears, Danica will exit the Maid Form. While the Anchor is present, Battle Maid and Defense Maid cannot coexist — upon entering one Maid Form, the other cannot be entered.
Commanding the battlefield with the poise of the Tsaritsa's handmaiden, launches a 5-hit wide-range attack, dealing AoE Electro DMG.
Radiance: Stellar-Conduct
- The 1st and 5th hits additionally deal AoE Electro DMG that is considered Stellar-Conduct reaction DMG.
- For a period of time after use, if Danica is in Maid Mode, the current Maid Mode will be Enhanced, granting the corresponding Enhancement effect based on the current mode:
When Danica is in Defense Maid mode, increases ATK for all Characters in the party.
When Danica is in Battle Maid mode, immediately restores all Excited energy and increases the DMG dealt by Danica's "On-Field Skill E2".
When Maid Mode ends, the Enhancement effect will be removed.
Danica's Ascension Passive Talents
Anchor decreases the Electro RES of nearby enemies by 15%.
Radiance: Stellar-Conduct
Further decreases the Electro RES of nearby enemies by 15% and their Cryo RES by 30%.
After casting 「Entry Skill E2」, Danica's own ATK increases by 20%.
After casting 「On-Field Skill E2」, Danica's own ATK SPD increases by 20%, and when the Special Anchor's Normal Attack hits an enemy, she additionally gains 25 Excited points. The above effects can stack up to 3 times.
The above effects last until exiting the current Defense Maid or Battle Maid state. Re-triggering will refresh the Duration.
When party members trigger Superconduct, it will be changed to Stellar-Conduct, and party members' Base Stellar-Conduct DMG will be increased based on Danica's ATK: Every point of ATK she has increases the Base Stellar-Conduct DMG by 0.7%. The maximum increase that can be gained this way is 14%.
Additionally, when Danica is within a Polestar Field, she will enter the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct state.
When your own Characters in the party are under the effect of Sheer Cold, Movement SPD increases by 10% and Stamina consumption decreases by 10%.
Danica's Constellations
When Danica uses "Entry Skill E2" or "On-Field Skill E2", she restores 20 Elemental Energy for herself. This effect can trigger at most once every 14 seconds.
Additionally, the Defense Maid enhancement effect in Elemental Burst is increased by 80%, and the Battle Maid enhancement effect is increased by 120%.
While the Anchor is present, Danica grants 7 stacks of "Toast" to all nearby Characters. When all nearby Characters have consumed a total of 6 stacks of "Toast", the active Character on the field additionally gains 1 stack of "Toast".
"Toast": When a party Character triggers a Stellar-Conduct reaction, 1 stack of "Toast" will be consumed, increasing the DMG dealt. This increase is equivalent to 100% of Danica's ATK.
Additionally, when Danica triggers a Stellar-Conduct reaction while in Battle Maid Mode, all current stacks of "Toast" she possesses will be consumed. Each stack increases the DMG dealt, with each increase equivalent to 150% of Danica's ATK.
Resummoning the Anchor or refreshing its Duration will reset the stacks of "Toast".
Increases the Level of Elemental Burst by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
When the active on-field Character under the protection of Danica's Shield deals Stellar-Conduct DMG to opponents, regenerates 3 Elemental Energy for the other nearby party members. This effect can trigger at most once every 3.5s.
Additionally, when Danica enters the Battle Maid state, a Shield will also be generated. If Danica leaves the field while the Shield is active, it will be destroyed.
Increases the Level of Elemental Skill by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
While the anchor is present, the Stellar-Conduct DMG dealt by nearby characters in the party is increased by 20%.
Additionally, when Danica enters the Defense Maid state, every 1,000 ATK Danica has increases the Stellar-Conduct DMG dealt by the on-field character by 10%, up to a maximum of 40%.
When entering the Battle Maid state, every 500 ATK Danica has increases her own on-field Skill E2's CRIT Rate by 2.5% and the CRIT DMG dealt by 25%. CRIT Rate can be increased by up to 10% and CRIT DMG by up to 100%.
The above effects last until exiting the current Maid state.
