IsoldeBuild and Guide

Introduction

Isolde is a 6✦ rarity character from the Spirit afflatus who deals Reality damage and belongs to the Support class.

An efficient [Burn] applicator and a strong Reality DEF and Crit DEF debuffer, Isolde is a powerful offensive support who deals a good amount of damage herself as well. As enemy [Burn] stacks resolve at the end of the turn, Isolde gains [Heat] stacks that allow her [Prelude] status to first change into [Interlude], then [Finale]. [Interlude] unlocks her extra attack [Intermezzo] while [Finale] grants all allies [Power Burst] at the beginning of each turn. Not only can Isolde significantly increase a team's damage output, but she can also allow the main DPS to run "Blasphemer of Night" thanks to her easy [Burn] application.

Review

Isolde is a 6-star Arcanist of the Spirit Afflatus, and is the first new 6-star for Spirit since launch. She is a debuffer Support that is centered around the [Burn] debuff. Her main mechanic is actually part of her Insight where, at the start of the battle, she enters [Prelude]. While in this state, she grants 3 stacks of [Preignition] to allies every turn that allow them to apply [Burn], half of which she then transforms into [Heat] at the end of the round. As the enemy accumulates 15 [Heat], Isolde swaps to [Interlude], which gives her the ability to cast FUAs called [Intermezzo], and after 40 stacks she enters [Finale], granting allies [Power Burst] every round and enhancing her own damage on top of the previous phases. Her Ultimate, called “Choking On Blood” inflicts 5 [Burn] on enemies (double that on the primary target) and grants all allies a stack of [Rousing Morale]. She then casts [Intermezzo], the FUA from her Insight, which deals extra damage based on the amount of [Burn] on the enemy. Her skills are pretty simple. Her “Twirling Melody” incantation is a Mass attack that inflicts [Burn] and has extra Pen Rate based on which phase Isolde is in. Meanwhile, “Desired Freedom” inflicts a powerful -Crit DEF and -Reality DEF debuff on all enemies. Gameplay

Extremely consistent on-demand [Burn] application
Consistent high-damage FUAs from [Interlude] onwards
Inflicts high percentage -Crit DEF and -Reality DEF debuffs
Immensely consistent application [Power Burst] once in [Finale]
Access to [Rousing Morale]

There is a lot going on in Isolde's kit, and all of it is excellent. Performance wise, people compare her to being effectively a Damage Dealer that happens to put most of her eggs in the Support basket. Her access to consistent [Burn] application on its own raises Spathodea out of her awkward spot of lacking [Burn] support. Even though part of her debuff card shreds only Reality DEF, her FUA and -Crit DEF debuff allow her to be flexed into teams with 37 (and Windsong) as well. [Rousing Morale] and [Power Burst] are also rare buffs to be giving out that stack with other +DMG Dealt related buffs, and she becomes AP-positive once in the [Interlude] state, which gives her a spot in very AP-negative teams. Everything in her kit is geared towards absolute offense. There we have it! One of the most popular Supports that a great portion of the community have eagerly been waiting for ever since her reveal on the CN server. If you are lacking a powerful offensive Support, Isolde is one of the most reliable.

Access to reliable and high potency -Crit DEF and -Reality DEF debuffs.
