GUIDETeam Building and Rotation
At a Glance
Build around The Lord of Hongyuan Hong Lu and Heishou Identities, all of which have Rupture. Rupture damage is mainly a bonus; the team relies on the latest Heishou's strength and the Lord's extra actions.
Strengths
- The Lord's S3 calls the S3 of an early-deployed Heishou for a three-hit sequence. Many Heishou S3s grant effects that enhance their skills, stabilizing the opening.
- The Lord restores 20 SP to an incoming reserve Heishou and has them use S3, up to 2 times per Identity per Encounter.
- At stage start, the Lord gains Leash-holder of All Heishou based on the number of Heishou, including reserves, increasing Speed, Offense Level, and Defense Level.
- Many members, such as Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept, are strong alone. Adding just 1–2 Heishou to the Lord can provide basic functionality.
Rotation
- Include Heishou among reserves. Early in battle, use the Lord's defense Heishou Keenclaw [黑獣利爪] to retreat a spent Heishou and have the incoming one use S3.
- Coordinating through the Lord's S3 grants Heishou Bolus Contamination, a permanent buff that differs by Heishou. Particularly attractive are the Rupture Count increase for Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Outis and Poise Count increase for Heishou Pack - Si Branch Gregor.
- Outside Heishou, Cinq Assoc. West Section 3 Meursault is strong. His Rupture application is modest, but against targets with at least 15 Potency and 3 Count, he attacks without reducing Count, maintaining allies' setup while dealing damage.
- Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion is near-essential: in addition to Courier Trunk, every 6 Rupture increases Coin Power, enabling full strength early. Retreat through defense if the battle drags on.
E.G.O
- Every Heishou has a Gluttony skill, making Gluttony-focused E.G.O compatible. Wrath is harder to generate.
- Healing options include Fluid Sac, Sinclair's Lantern, and Thoracalgia, which benefits from Gluttony Resonance.
- Using Tears of the Tarnished Blood [汚血泣淚] with the Lord negates death once and restores 60% HP. Self-damage makes using it too early counterproductive.
Weaknesses and answers
- The Lord has extremely low HP. Heishou Keenclaw heals only 1 ally per turn, and Staggered Identities cannot retreat or heal through it. Prepare another healing option.
- The 2 You Branch members carry self-inflicted Burn and tend to consume opportunities for Heishou Keenclaw. Choose their use carefully unless the enemy is weak to Wrath.

Team Builds
Example lineups: 7 deployed SinnersHeishou (built around the Lord of Hongyuan)
Build around the Lord of Hongyuan and Heishou Identities. Every Heishou has Rupture, but status damage is a bonus; the lineup relies on modern Identities' strength. The Lord's defense retreats a Heishou and brings a reserve Heishou out to use S3, so include reserve options such as Wei Branch, the 2 Si members, and the 2 You members. Deploy Cinq Assoc. West Section 3 Meursault, who attacks without reducing Rupture, and the near-essential Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion.
