Who Is Sigrika? Kit Overview
Sigrika is an Aero Gauntlet Main DPS whose entire damage output is classified as Echo Skill DMG. This includes her Forte Circuit outputs and Resonance Liberation, making her one of the few DPS characters in the game who scales almost exclusively through the Echo Skill damage type rather than Basic Attacks or Heavy Attacks.
How Her Rotation Works
Sigrika’s combat rotation centres on building and spending two types of runes:
- Rune: Trust is generated through Basic Attacks and Dodge Counters
- Rune: Answer is generated through Resonance Skills while Sigrika is in her Decipher state
Once you have the right rune combination, triggering an Enhanced Heavy Attack consumes them to deal Aero Echo Skill damage. Different rune combinations produce different effects, including stagnation and enemy pull mechanics, giving her crowd control utility alongside her damage output.
Sigrika also builds a resource called Soliskin Vitality whenever any teammate casts an Echo Skill. When you trigger her Enhanced Heavy Attack with sufficient Soliskin Vitality, her damage multiplier increases and she gains additional damage amplification. This means she performs notably better in teams that cycle Echo Skills frequently.
Sigrika’s Signature Weapon: Solsworn Ciphers
The Solsworn Ciphers is the only new 5-star weapon introduced in Version 3.2 and serves as Sigrika’s best-in-slot Gauntlet.
| Stat | Value |
| Base ATK | 588 |
| Secondary Stat | Crit DMG 48.6% |
| ATK Bonus (R1/R5) | 12% / 24% |
| Echo Skill DMG Amplification (R1/R5) | 32% / 64% for 15 seconds after Intro or Echo Skill |
| DEF Shred on Echo Skill Hits (R1/R5) | 10% / 20% for 6 seconds |
The DEF shred component is particularly valuable since Sigrika’s entire kit revolves around Echo Skill DMG.
Sigrika Best Echo Set and Recommendations
The confirmed best-in-slot Echo set for Sigrika is Sound of True Name, which synergises directly with her Echo Skill-heavy kit:
| Set Bonus | Effect |
| 2-Piece | Aero DMG +10% |
| 5-Piece | Dealing Echo Skill DMG increases Echo Skill Crit Rate by +20% and grants Aero DMG Bonus +15% for 5 seconds. Given how frequently Sigrika triggers Echo Skill DMG, this bonus maintains near-permanent uptime |
You can farm Sound of True Name from the Frostlands Transit Port Tacet Field in Roya Frostlands. If you are still building up that set, Sierra Gale serves as a solid alternative in the meantime.
Best 4-Cost Main Echo: The Nameless Explorer is the recommended choice, as it summons an attack path dealing Aero DMG and grants +12% Aero DMG and +20% Echo Skill DMG Bonus, aligning perfectly with Sigrika’s kit.
Echo Stats Priority:
| Cost | Main Stat Priority |
| Cost 4 | Crit Rate or Crit DMG |
| Cost 3 | Aero DMG Bonus or ATK% |
| Cost 1 | ATK% |
For substats, prioritise Energy Regeneration (which converts into Echo Skill DMG via her talents), then Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and ATK%.
Sigrika Resonance Chain Priority
Sigrika performs well at Sequence Node 0 (S0) without any chain investment, making her accessible for free-to-play players. However, her chains provide meaningful upgrades. Here is a breakdown of the most impactful nodes:
| Sequence Node | Key Effect |
| S0 | Strong baseline performance without any chain investment |
| S1 | Adds +70% DMG multipliers to Basic Attack Stage 5 and key Resonance Skill outputs. Also grants interruption immunity during Enhanced Heavy Attack windows |
| S2 | Adds +115% DMG on the Resonance Skill Learn My True Name and provides Echo or Divergent state bonuses when out of combat |
| S3 | Inborn Gift gains additional effects, including +15% DMG amplification per stack on key skill triggers |
| S4 and above | Party ATK buffs and Resonance Liberation DMG boosts for higher investment players |
For most players, S0 or S1 is the recommended stopping point. S2 provides a noticeable damage jump for those willing to invest further.
Phase 1 Banner Characters and 4-Star Rate-Ups
Featured 5-Stars in Phase 1:
- Sigrika (NEW)
- Qiuyuan (Rerun)
Featured 4-Stars in Phase 1:
- Yangyang
- Sanhua
- Buling
Standard 5-Star Off-Rate Pool: Jianxin, Calcharo, Encore, Lingyang, Verina
Should You Pull Sigrika?
Pull Sigrika If:
- You want an Aero Main DPS with crowd control utility on top of damage
- You already own Qiuyuan, since his Echo Skill buffs pair directly with Sigrika’s kit and significantly raise her damage ceiling
- You enjoy rotation-based gameplay that rewards planning rune combinations before committing to a burst window
Skip Sigrika If:
- Your roster already has several strong Main DPS characters and lacks the supports to power her kit
- You do not have or plan to pull Qiuyuan, as her damage drops noticeably without Echo Skill amplification support
- You are saving Astrites for Phase 2 or the Version 3.3 anniversary patch, where two new Resonators, Miyuki and Denia, are expected to debut
Should You Pull Qiuyuan?
Qiuyuan is a 5-star Aero Sub DPS and Echo Skill DMG Buffer who is one of the most impactful supports for Echo-focused teams. Here is what his kit provides:
- 30% Echo Skill DMG through his own kit
- 20% Echo DMG from his signature weapon
- 16% Echo DMG from the Law of Harmony Echo set
- 50% Echo DMG Amplification to the next Resonator via his Outro skill
He pairs especially well with Sigrika, Phrolova, and Galbrena, all of whom rely on Echo Skill DMG for a large portion of their output.
Pull Qiuyuan if you plan to build Echo Skill DMG teams, especially if you own Sigrika, Phrolova, or Galbrena.
Skip Qiuyuan only if your roster does not rely on Echo Skill DMG archetypes at all.
Phase 2 Banner Overview (April 9 Onwards)
Phase 2 features an unusually large rerun selection with three 5-star Resonators simultaneously, all of the Spectro element:
| Resonator | Role | Key Pairing |
| Lynae | Spectro Sub DPS / Team DMG Buffer | Pairs well with most DPS, especially Liberation-focused |
| Zani | Spectro Main DPS (Spectro Frazzle) | Requires Phoebe to reach full potential |
| Phoebe | Spectro Sub DPS / Spectro Frazzle Applier | Essential for Zani teams |
It is important to note that with three rate-up Resonators active in Phase 2 simultaneously, your 5-star guarantee will land on one of them but you cannot choose which one you receive among the three. Factor this into your Astrite budget before committing pulls to Phase 2.
