Sea Breeze Serenade

1-target buff. Extends the [Quartet] status on all allies by 1 round, and grants the [Quartet] status to target ally and to self for 5 rounds; if either target is already in the Quartet status, the Quartet status is extended to 5 rounds; after, recovers Eureka +3 to all allies in the Quartet status, grants Moxie +1 to self, and grants 8 points of [Inspiration] to [Impromptu Incantation] for the round.

"Ф The flow of tides, the cry of steam horns, and the twists of fate synthesize into new melodies."

Inspiration:

For every 1 Eureka consumed, accumulate 1 point of [Inspiration].

At the start of each round, randomly distribute Inspiration points onto basic incantations (each incantation may receive up to 5 points of Inspiration, and at the end of the round, the points of Inspiration on unused incantations are cleared).

When actively casting an incantation with [Inspiration] points on it, add an [Impromptu Incantation] to the end of the spell queue, and all Inspiration points on these casted incantations will be granted to the [Impromptu Incantation].

Impromptu Incantation:

1-target attack. Deals 200% Mental DMG to a random enemy, and this attack deals an additional X% Mental DMG, where X is equal to (the total points of Inspiration granted to Impromptu Incantation x 15); if Impromptu Incantation has at least 3/6/12/20 points of Inspiration, Impromptu Incantation gains attack instances +1/2/3/5 (Impromptu Incantation's damage calculation is based on the average stats of all allies).

Quartet:

Pos Status. Gain ATK +300; at the start of each round, gain an additional (the accumulated points of Inspiration x 5) ATK; this effect is recalculated at the start of each round, and for each ally in the [Quartet] status, Barcarola gains an additional 15% bonus for this ATK increase effect. After casting an attack-type incantation, grant 1 additional point of Inspiration to [Impromptu Incantation], and consume 1 Eureka from each character in the Quartet status (undispellable).

Review

Barcarola is the core of a team that focuses on [Impromptu Incantation], an incantation that deals Mental damage after all allies' cards have been used. What exactly is it? It’s a randomly targeted attack that increases in power with more hits if you have a high count of [Inspiration] stacks. Each hit is randomly targeted. Its damage is based on an average of all party members' stats.

[Inspiration] is accumulated when an ally consumes Eureka (her Insight I effect). She also consumes 2 Eureka using her skill [Music of the Heart], a single-target attack that deals more damage when three or more characters are in [Quartet]. It also increases [Impromptu Incantation]'s damage dealt—even more so if you meet the [Quartet] condition.

Her other skill [Cascading Arpeggios] also consumes 2 Eureka. It's a single-target attack that increases the number of hits that [Impromptu Incantation] will perform, and this increase is further amplified when you have [Quartet].

Her ultimate [Sea Breeze Serenade] is where you get [Quartet]. It’s a powerful buff that increases both Barcarola's and the target's ATK and grants [Inspiration] after using an attack incantation, making them consume 1 Eureka. It also provides a flat Moxie +1 and team-wide Eureka +3 when you initially use the buff, making it a strong buff overall.

As you gain stacks of [Inspiration] from Eureka consumption, you strengthen the attack potential of your [Impromptu Incantation]s, not only through the sheer number of hits but also by increasing its critical rate and damage. The more [Inspiration] you accumulate in a round, the higher its Critical Rate/DMG becomes, thanks to Barcarola's Insight III. Essentially, you just gain passive damage by having Eureka characters in your team, which means you do need characters that help her with this in order to achieve high damage. It’s fairly easy to use if you have the right team.

For her to function, you'll likely need characters like Aleph, Regulus, Voyager, and Matilda. The latter 3 of these characters received Euphoria buffs that allow them to synergize with Inspiration teams. While that’s great, Euphoria costs a lot of resources. So, not only is she a 6-star unit you need to pull for to serve as the core of the team, but you also have to invest a lot of resources into her allies. Even her best teammate Aleph, who doesn't have a Euphoria buff, still requires pulling resources as a 6* unit.

While any Eureka character will likely benefit her, if you want to utilize the effects of a character that consumes their own Eureka, she might not be the best choice. This is because that character will lose their Eureka really fast when paired in a team with her and likely unable to activate their own effects.

However, if you’re willing to invest in an Inspiration team, Barcarola offers an exciting new playstyle with impressive damage potential. Once set up, you’ll have a character with high passive damage, requiring minimal effort in actual battle.

Resonance Builds

Build 1 - Barcarola – Crit Impromptu DPS

Level

R10 - Genuinity (Incantation Might/Penetration Rate)

Code

AiwBLCEsQSUAPTD7QiYTKTM0NTRVQwNDFUUF

A mix of Critical Rate/DMG, ATK, and Incantation Might. NOTE: If you unlock a Resonance Pattern on one Impromptu teammate, be prepared to unlock it for EVERYONE on the team. The Impromptu Incantation scales off your whole team's stats, so hyper-investing in just one of your teammates is a bad idea.

If you don’t have Resonance Patterns unlocked, try this build with Placidity:

Build 2 - Barcarola – Max Investment Impromptu

Level

R12+ - Genuinity (Incantation Might/Penetration Rate)

Code

AvtCLAEsISxBJQBEMERQQwNDFUUFJhMpMzQ1NFU=

At R12 and above, you get access to another Crit DMG piece. Higher investment means higher base ATK, allowing you to replace an ATK piece with a second and third Crit DMG piece.

Psychubes

Addio Coda

Belt It Out

For Rehabilitation

Stray Off the Path

Blasphemer of Night

Comments

Addio Coda is her signature psychube and her best option by a long shot. Up to 12% party-wide DMG Dealt and up to +2 Impromptu Incantation attack instances per round is really good. The 16% Critical Rate is also great.

Belt It Out is a simple 8–16% DMG boost for Star Afflatus characters, which are probably most of her teammate options.

For Rehabilitation grants 16% Critical Rate, 5% Incantation Might, and 12–24% DMG Bonus. All of Barcarola's incantations are 1-target and you want to be spamming them as much as possible, so the passive shouldn't be a hassle to activate.

A bit unconventional, Stray Off the Path can be a simple crit stat stick if you already have it built. Barcarola has no FUA so she can't benefit from the Incantation Might, but her pure 1-target kit means she can benefit from the 18–36% Critical DMG without dispelling it. Plus, this offers 16% Critical Rate. This is better than Thunderous Applause as the Critical DMG will apply to Impromptu Incantation while Thunderous Applause's Critical DMG only applies when Barcarola attacks.

Blasphemer of Night is a classic 18% Incantation Might that doesn't require Gluttony to upgrade. Aleph's [Interpretation], Voyager's slew of debuffs, and even Matilda's [Confusion] can proc the 12–24% DMG Bonus.

About the team

Probably one of the strongest teams available at this time. Utilizes the large amounts of Crit stats stacked by Barcarola and Kiperina (and the latter's Crit Conversion) topped with Aleph's [Interpretation], Regulus' [Rockin' Spotlight] and additional Crit buffs to nuke through anything in the game. Kept incredibly safe by Kiperina's ridiculous [Shield] values. Kiperina CAN be exchanged for Fatutu or Ezra, but this causes amounts of DMG loss. In addition, Aleph can be traded for FP for Inspiration and Regulus(E) can be traded for Voyager(E).
