TololoBuild and Guide

Character Summary

Tololo (TLL) is a single-target damage dealer with a kit design centered around her Extra Action mechanic, which involves rapidly generating Confectance Index through her skills to feed her passive and perform an additional action. These additional actions not only boost her own damage output but also let her perform the role of Action Support enabler. 

TLL’s Extra Action notably gives her above-average mobility for a Sentinel, making her exceptionally fast for a damage dealer. While the impact of mobility is less tangible than raw damage output, TLL benefits from all the positional advantages that come with high movement speed (e.g., objective control).

While character synergy is generally reserved for its own section, it would be weird to introduce TLL without mentioning the TLL(V2)-Springfield(V1) pairing - one of the most potent damage dealer synergies in the game. At its core, the synergy revolves around using TLL’s Extra Action burst potential as a vehicle to convert Springfield’s offensive buffs into an eye-watering amount of damage, all of which is enabled by Springfield’s V1 Confectance Index gain buff to give TLL the push she needs to perform three (!) actions per turn.

Fixed Keys

Fixed Keys core to TLL’s function are:

• 02-01 - Comet Tail Transit: Amusingly, the value of the mobility self-buff isn’t in the utility that comes with increased movement range, but in how it contributes towards satisfying TLL’s conditional skill effects (if under the effect of x or more buffs). 

• 04-01 - Invisible Light: For reasons obvious, offensive damage dealers appreciate offensive damage buffs. Same as above, the self-buffs work towards fulfilling the trigger condition for TLL’s conditional skill effects.

Mod Key

TLL’s Mod Key greatly improves her performance by increasing the uptime on her Extra Action passive (+2 points of Confectance Index on active skill cast) and significantly decreasing the cooldown on her Ultimate Skill (Ultimate Skill cooldown reduction on allied Hydro damage dealt). All in all, TLL’s Mod Key is a noticeable improvement to her base kit and perfectly complements her existing abilities.

TLL’s Mod Key is most notable for being a core enabling factor to the TLL(V2)-Springfield(V1) triple action turn setup, where the Confectance Index gain plays a crucial role in getting TLL’s soup of Confectance Index gain effects to generate enough to cast her Extra Action a second time.

As of writing, TLL’s Mod Key has not yet been introduced to the Global server. Global is expected to receive it at a later, yet undisclosed date.

Character Function

TLL doesn't have specialized content she excels in as she pretty much can be used anywhere you need a reliable damage dealer, making her a pretty versatile pick.

Character Synergies

TLL(V2)-Springfield(V1) is one of the most potent damage synergies in the game. Beyond the sheer damage output, what makes this synergy especially appealing is how cost-effective it is to set up, requiring just two characters to function, with only a modest dupe investment. To briefly detail the mechanics behind the synergy:

• Springfield’s S2 applies the Overflowing Care buff, which (among other things) provides a Hydro damage buff that spans 2 full turns. Importantly, as the buff is not consumed on a per use basis (like many other commonly found buffs in the game), it applies to every one of TLL’s attacks for as long as the buff is active.

• Springfield’s V1 adds a new Resonance buff (+1 point of Confectance Index on Hydro damage dealt) to her S2, which is triggered by TLL’s V2.

• TLL’s V2 changes her S2 damage type to Hydro damage and adds the +1 point of Confectance Index effect to the skill.

• TLL’s aforementioned Mod Key provides +2 points of Confectance Index on active skill cast.

Put together, TLL’s S2 now generates 2 (S2 conditional effect) + 2 (Mod Key) + 1 (TLL V2) + 1 (Springfield V1) for a whopping 6 Confectance Index, which triggers TLL’s Extra Action passive. While a full rotation breakdown falls outside the scope of the character review, the below example shows the outcome of stacking all that Confectance Index gain:

• From a full Confectance Index bar, S3 🡒 Extra Action 🡒 S2 🡒 +6 Confectance Index (per above)  🡒 Extra Action 🡒 3rd attack

An even more potent option, S3 🡒 S2 🡒 S3 (double-cast Ultimate Skill) is made possible with Springfield(V3), which takes advantage of Springfield’s V3 Action Support to trigger TLL’s Mod Key Ultimate Skill cooldown reduction so that TLL can cast her Ultimate Skill and have it ready again as her third action. The relevant interacting mechanics are as follows:

• Springfield’s V3 adds Hydro damage Action Support effect (2 times per turn) to Springfield’s passive, triggered on allied Hydro damage dealt.

• TLL’s Mod Key reduces the cooldown of her Ultimate Skill by 1 turn on allied Hydro damage dealt

• TLL’s skills (S2 at V2) all deal Hydro damage.

TLL’s multi-action turns make her a natural fit as an enabler for Qiongjiu’s Action Support. The basic Qiongjiu-enabler combo can be taken even further with Springfield; TLL(V2)-Springfield(V1)-Qiongjiu takes advantage of TLL’s existing synergy with Qiongjiu to have her function as both the damage dealer and enabler in the setup. The self-contained TLL(V2)-Springfield(V1) pairing conveniently fits into the spare slots of other setups (i.e., Qiongjiu-Vector, Klukay-Peritya), providing a simple way to increase damage.

Vertebrae Breakpoints

SSR characters are reviewed at V0/V1 strength. However, for those especially dedicated players, it is worth noting Tololo’s significant dupe powerspikes at:

• V2: With the addition of this dupe, Tololo’s Mod Key, and Springfield, Tololo is able to perform up to 3 actions every 2 turns.

• V4: This dupe grants 4 powerful buffs when Tololo gains Extra Action: Crit Rate, DEF Pierce, and two Damage buffs (one generic, one phase related), further improving her damage output.

Default choices:

• 02-01 - Comet Tail Transit

• 04-01 - Invisible Light

For the third key you can choose between the following, depending on what you need:

• 02-03 - Principles of Observational Astronomy

• 04-03 - Retrograde Motion

• 06-01 - Galatic Cruise

Sets:

1. Phase Strike

2. Hydro Boost (BIS after V2)

Stat priority:

ATK% > ATK > Crit Rate > Crit Damage (Muzzle only)
