Note for beginners

Acheron has no clear weak point based on current data, but needs the right build (see the Build section below) to reach full potential.

Should you pull Acheron?

Acheron is a top-tier T0 single-target/blast DPS and a fantastic pull if you love explosive hypercarry gameplay. If you're new and lack Nihility supports, think twice — she needs two Nihility teammates to shine.

Pros
  • Explosive damage clearing small mobs and bosses alike
  • Energy-independent, powered by debuff stacks
  • Fast, smooth rotation that's easy to pilot
  • Long-lasting meta staple, always top tier
Cons
  • Requires two Nihility teammates, restrictive team-building
  • Weaker in pure large-wave AoE modes
  • Depends heavily on good debuff supports
  • Signature cone is costly and hard to get F2P

How to play

Each turn hit Skill to stack up while your supports pile on debuffs; once you reach 9 stacks, unleash the Ultimate for a screen-wide slash chain. Always focus targets carrying the most debuffs.

Best teams for Acheron

The core is two Nihility units plus a sustain: Jiaoqiu/Pela apply debuffs to feed stacks and shred defense, while Aventurine keeps everyone alive. Silver Wolf is the accessible F2P pick; Cipher is a strong newer Nihility support.

Eidolons

How far to invest, which milestones matter

E0 is fully functional and already strong. E1 adds a great CRIT Rate boost, and E2 is the best value breakpoint (fewer stacks needed plus more damage). Only push higher if you have spare pulls.

E1
Silenced Sky Spake Sooth★★★★★
When dealing DMG to debuffed enemies, increases CRIT Rate by 18%.
Grants +18% CRIT Rate against debuffed enemies, which is nearly always active given Acheron's kit revolves around applying debuffs.
Acheron's Eidolon×1 Acheron's Eidolon
E2
Mute Thunder in Still Tempest★★★★☆
The number of Nihility characters required for the Trace "The Abyss" to achieve its highest possible effect is reduced by 1. When this unit's turn starts, gains 1 point of Slashed Dream and inflicts 1 stack of Crimson Knot on the enemy with the most Crimson Knot stacks.
Lowers the Nihility-teammate requirement for The Abyss trace and auto-grants a Slashed Dream point plus a Crimson Knot stack each turn, speeding up her ultimate cycle without relying on allies.

Frost Bites in Death★★☆☆☆
Ultimate Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Basic ATK Lv. +1, up to a maximum of Lv. 10.
Purely levels up the Ultimate and Basic ATK with no new effect, so the added power is limited.

Shrined Fire for Mirrored Soul★★★☆☆
When enemy targets enter combat, inflicts them with the Ultimate DMG Vulnerability, increasing the amount of Ultimate DMG they take by 8%.

Apocalypse, the Emancipator★★★★★
Increases the All-Type RES PEN for the Ultimate DMG dealt by Acheron by 20%. The DMG dealt by Basic ATK and Skill will also be considered as Ultimate DMG and can Reduce enemy Toughness regardless of Weakness Types. When breaking Weaknesses, triggers the Lightning Weakness Break effect.
Adds 20% All-Type RES PEN to Ultimate DMG and converts Basic ATK and Skill DMG into Ultimate DMG that can break Toughness regardless of Weakness Type, dramatically boosting Acheron's overall damage output.

Skills & Traces

What to level first — tap each skill for details

Skill Leveling Priority

Ultimate ★★★★★ The Ultimate is Acheron's core burst nuke, dealing up to 446% ATK DMG and enabling a 25% All-Type RES reduction, making it her main damage source.
Talent ★★★★★ The Talent gates the Ultimate's activation and provides the enemy RES reduction during it, a key enabler for team damage, so it ties with the Ultimate in priority.
Skill ★★★☆☆ The Skill deals AoE damage (200%/75% ATK), applies Crimson Knot and builds Slashed Dream points toward the Ultimate, so it still matters but ranks below Ultimate and Talent.
Basic ATK ★☆☆☆☆ Basic ATK only deals 140% ATK single-target damage, a filler skill that is always the lowest leveling priority.
Trace priority: A4 > A6 > A2 Eidolon priority: E6 > E1 > E2 > E4 > E3 = E5

Acheron FAQ

What is the best Light Cone for Acheron?

The best Light Cone for Acheron is Along the Passing Shore (top pick). See F2P options in the Light Cones section above.

Is Acheron worth pulling?

Acheron is a top-tier T0 single-target/blast DPS and a fantastic pull if you love explosive hypercarry gameplay. If you're new and lack Nihility supports, think twice — she needs two Nihility teammates to shine.

What is the best team for Acheron?

The core is two Nihility units plus a sustain: Jiaoqiu/Pela apply debuffs to feed stacks and shred defense, while Aventurine keeps everyone alive. Silver Wolf is the accessible F2P pick; Cipher is a strong newer Nihility support.

How much Energy does Acheron's Ultimate cost?

Acheron's Ultimate costs 9 Energy. See the Skills section above for the Energy gain and Break DMG of every skill.

What materials does Acheron need to reach max Ascension?

See the full Ascension Materials list above, pulled directly from the latest game data.

How to read this build page

Every character build page has these parts: recommended Light Cone/Relic sets and stat table, a Trace/skill leveling order, Eidolon milestones worth considering, and a reference SPD threshold. Read them in that order — gear tells you "what to use", Traces tell you "what to level first", Eidolon tells you "is it worth pulling dupes", SPD tells you "how fast you need to be to keep the rotation on time". The section below explains how to read each part and applies the same way to every character on the site — check the exact numbers in the table above this section, since community sources sometimes differ by a few points.

Why the Light Cone and Relic picks make sense

Most characters have a "signature" Light Cone built for their exact role, plus a few cheaper substitutes from the standard banner or easy-to-get 3-4★ cones. Missing the signature isn't a dead end — most characters keep most of their power with a well-matched substitute, typically losing somewhere between a few percent and roughly a fifth of total damage depending on the setup, per most public comparisons.

  • Relic sets (2pc+2pc or 4pc) are picked for the set effect that fits that character's role (single-target DPS, AoE, shield/healing support, Break damage, and so on).
  • Main stats per slot (Body/Feet/Sphere/Rope) and substats follow a priority that changes by role: DPS roles usually chase CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG before ATK%; Break-focused roles prioritize Break Effect; support/healing roles often value Effect Hit/RES or Outgoing Healing over pure CRIT.

These weights differ per character and can shift slightly between ranking sources — follow the exact priority table above rather than applying one formula to every role.

Trace/skill leveling order by role (a general guideline, not a fixed rule)

There's no single order that's correct for every character, and community sources sometimes disagree depending on the team the character is used in — but the general pattern by role is:

  • DPS: level whichever skill (Skill or Ultimate) carries most of the damage for that character first, with Basic ATK usually last if it isn't the main damage source.
  • Support/Buffer: prioritize Traces that boost buff strength or the skill that applies the effect over Basic ATK, since this role's value comes from lifting the team rather than personal damage.
  • Healer/Shielder: prioritize the main healing or shield skill first, since that is the reason the team runs this character.
  • Break/CC: prioritize whichever skill contributes the most Toughness Damage, since the Break/Weakness Break window is where the team dumps damage.

Major Traces unlock at fixed ascension levels in-game, not by choice — but which one to level first (when resources are limited) should follow the role priority above. Since the exact order can differ between ranking sources, check the specific recommendation in the table above for this character.

Eidolons: how far E0 gets you, and which milestone is worth considering

General rule: most characters at E0 (no duplicates) already handle most content, even 5-star characters. Eidolons are a duplicate-fueled upgrade system — higher levels cost more resources for a smaller power gain, and the actual gain varies a lot per character (some barely change role at E0, others shift how they're played at a specific level). The milestones most often cited by the community tend to sit at E1, E2, or E6 depending on the character — but none of these are required to clear the game's content. Check the Eidolon section in the table above for this character's specific milestone and gain; if sources disagree on how to rate a milestone, trust the in-game effect description over a pre-set percentage number.

How to think about SPD breakpoints

SPD (Speed) controls how often a character acts in the turn order — higher SPD means denser actions, and for some roles (especially support/healing that need to buff or heal before the team gets hit) hitting the right SPD "breakpoint" matters more than the raw SPD number. Values like 101 or 134 SPD are often cited as community-common breakpoints (letting a character act again before or after a specific point in certain team setups) — this is crowd-verified action-gauge math, not an official fixed number the game states for every situation. The right breakpoint also depends on the team and allies' SPD, so treat the SPD suggestion in the table above as a starting point to adjust from, not a mandatory target.

Where to dig deeper

This section only teaches you how to read the page — for deeper comparisons, use the dedicated tools:

  • Tier list to see where this character stands against the full roster.
  • Teams for full in-game comps with rotation order.
  • Relic score to check how your current gear scores against the benchmark.
