Skills and efficiency
Let's briefly consider the specifics of each satellite:
| Character | Features |
![]() |
A support shielder with a team-based attack mechanic. He provides allies with ATK and serves as a 5-degree alternative. adventurer Bennett, but in terms of pure attack bonus, she only catches up with it with the signature and cons. She prefers teams with Secret Rite, where her "pocket" attacks deal significantly more damage. If you have a regional compass, it can help you find chests. Due to the elements, it doesn't fit into the Nod-End meta. |
![]() |
A pocket hero with two playstyles: a light stance that shreds enemy elemental resistances, and a dark stance with Melt and Steam, dealing high single-target damage. Easily fits into various squads thanks to his mechanics and support weapons. Main disadvantage: inflicts less status than Chef XianglingIt is important to close the reactions correctly. |
![]() |
A main damage dealer, suitable for driving powerful sub-damage dealers. He plays with a stance that imbues his attacks with infusion. He prefers Melt or Freeze compositions, but requires strong allies who can build his special stacks. He belongs to the characters of Witchcraft and receives all the bonuses from resonance, but due to the limited list of allies, fights mainly with fire companions. With the right squad, he'll show decent results, but completing complex content may be challenging. |
![]() |
The warrior is most often the primary damage dealer, but can also serve as a sub-damage dealer. She's a strong and versatile heroine, with a significant advantage in world exploration thanks to her Flame Cycle. The Pyro Archon's main drawback is her specific energy. Her ultimate is built up by spending energy. Nightsoul, so she needs other Natlans. She's a top-ranked Pyro main-DD. |
Comparison of heroes
To make it easier to compare the characters of 6.6, we'll create a table of key points:
| Nicole | Durin | Lohen | Mavuika | |
| Role in the team | Buffer/Shieldman | Sub-dd/Support | Main-dd/Driver | Main-dd/Sub-dd |
| The best constellation | C0-C2 | C0-C2 | C1-C2 | С2 |
| Dependence on the signal | Preferably, it will be more useful than C1 | Not necessarily, there are many alternatives | Not necessary if there are other legendary spears | Desirable, but not required: a universal sword, better to have on your account |
| Is it worth it for a newbie to knock out? | Yes | Yes | No, Warrior Skirk How is Cryo Main-DD more profitable? | Yes |
| Is F2P suitable? | Yes | Yes | No, unless there is Durin, Furina or Escoffier | Yes |
You can assemble a powerful team from the Sabbat against the Melting, but it's difficult to get them all in a single update without spending a lot of money. A Witch and a Dragon are essential for Master Varka, but they're unlikely to be included in the Snow meta with Star Reactions due to the element. Loen has better prospects with the Cryo Kingdom's new features, but it will require specialized supports. Currently, it's only available in groups with Secret Rite and isn't adapted for future 7.X content.
Pyro Archon remains one of the game's strongest damage dealers, but it's difficult to predict how long she'll maintain her position. If you don't want to add cons to your existing heroes or fill a team slot, it's best to skip the Patch 6.6 prayers and save your rotations for Snezhnaya's banners.
