    OVERVIEW

    Roles

  • DPS: Powerful ranged SD Physical DPS with a unique ability to instantly trigger an SD enemy's stardust explosion. JD can also end Stellar Outburst early and refund AR meter, making her rotation more flexible.
  • VS Senadina: Against SD enemies, JD is better against solo boss. Against swarm enemies like Bloodthirsty SD-Mech mobs, it depends on ranks- or you can use JD and Sena on the same team.
  • WoDestiny Support: Provides strong buffs, but currently not the best support for any WoD DPS. Stellar Drain is slow.
  • Future AR Support: Has a locked skill related to a future Astral Ring.

    • Pull Recommendation

  • F2P Players: JD is recommended IF you have tons of spare crystals AFTER you get Vita. JD will cover the annoying Physical and PhyShield weather enemies, and she will also be a support for a future AR team.
  • Competitive: The instant SD explosion is huge, and JD is also not bad as a Physical / Ranged valk, and topscores Ranged Kalpas. In addition, she will also be the uncontested best support for a future AR team, at least until another S-rank support is added for that AR.

    DETAILS Jovial Deception lineup has a bit of complexity to it.
    Crit Rate: Serapeum AstralOP ensures that all JD attacks will crit. Without the Crit conversion from Serapeum, Lantern is more valuable since she provides 30% Crit Rate. However, for most casual players, Lantern is not mandatory, since most of JD's important attacks (Ult, Combo, Weapon) already have boosted Crit Rate.
    Elemental Breach Conversion: JD has a unique passive: When JD has Elemental Breach, if Crit Rate > 100%, gain Physical DMG +33%. If Crit Rate < 100%, gain 22% Crit Rate and TDM +22%. Currently, the only Part 2 supports that can provide Elemental Breach are Senadina, and the upcoming Lone Planetfarer.
    Fastest opener: With SS-rank Serapeum AstralOp, Thelema + Lantern supports provide the fastest opener to get Stellar Outburst on first rotation. This only matters for Top 50 players.
    Support Specializations: Thelema provides Shieldbreak, while Lantern provides hitcount shredder.

    DETAILS
  • At S-rank, Sena support scores higher than Vita. Although Vita provides more buff, the dmg increase is not big enough to beat the score with Sena's zero field time. (Data based on Type Counter Kasumi)
  • At higher ranks and weapon synergy, Sena and Vita scores are close. (Data based on Type Counter Kasumi)
  • Thelema's abilities make her an indispensable support for Lantern. Shieldbreak helps a lot against Kasumi. Evasion spam AR regen is used on multiple bosses: RPC, Tank, Mobius. Thelema herself also contributes damage.

    BEST: Purge of Ten Faces + Leaf's Vision
  • Affix: Full ATK, or 1-2 Crit DMG. Minor difference for the average player.
  • Note on Crit Rate affix: Crit Rate affix is not actually Crit Rate. It's CRT stat, which is used to calculate Crit Rate.
  • Stigma 3PC is important since this is the only source of impair (DEF reduction) in AR teams without Lone Planetfarer.
