Shadow Harmony feeds CRIT Rate and ATK during combos, 2pc 
Woodpecker Electro adds steady CRIT.4: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG · 5: Electric DMG · 6: ATK%
CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG > ATK% > PEN
Skill priority: Basic Attack > EX Special > Dodge/Assist > Ultimate > Chain
Worth pulling and fully investing in: she's one of the strongest Electric Attackers in the 3.0 meta, piling on damage fast thanks to Silver Star and Aftershock. Her only weakness is needing enough CRIT and a good stunner to go all-out, but her team frame is very easy to slot together.
IN-COMBAT targets (per game8/gamewith): ~70% Crit Rate and 180%+ Crit DMG after buffs (her Additional Ability + 4pc Shadow Harmony grant ~22% Crit in combat, so the static sheet can read lower). Crit DMG is the golden stat because her Core Passive adds up to 30% of her Crit DMG to Aftershock damage — so Crit DMG double-dips. Main stats: slot 4 Crit Rate/Crit DMG · slot 5 Electric DMG · slot 6 ATK%. Substat priority: Crit Rate = Crit DMG > ATK% > PEN.
1) OPENER: enter and stack Silver Star marks with Basic Attacks (2 full basic cycles reach 3 stacks), or Dodge Counter twice to stack fast. 2) HOLD Special (~50% energy) to fully restore marks and land a heavy burst hit. 3) LOOP: tap Special 3 times in a row for the Azure Flash follow-up chain — each time White Thunder is full it drops an Aftershock lightning strike that crits. 4) Keep her ON-FIELD almost continuously; avoid swaps that drop Silver Star marks. 5) ULTIMATE: fire it inside your stunner's daze window (Pulchra/Qingyi) to dump Aftershock — with M2 the Ult also opens extra Azure Flash follow-ups.
EX Special triggers the White Thunder aftereffect 3 TIMES without consuming stacks — pumping Aftershock damage straight into the stun window (~+23% dmg, per prydwen/game8). A very worthwhile first cone, especially for burst during the Daze phase.
The best stopping point (~+20% dmg): a PERMANENT +12% Crit Rate, and using her Ultimate grants 6 stacks of Thunder's Cry enabling extra 'free' Azure Flash follow-ups — more damage plus self-supplied Crit Rate that eases disc requirements. STOP AT M2 for most players. Priority order: pull her signature Severed Innocence FIRST, then M1, then M2 (per prydwen: M0R1 → M1R1 → M2R1).
All skills +2 levels. A small flat bump with no gameplay change — low value, just a stepping stone to M4.
Hitting a Silver Star-marked enemy ignores 12% Electric RES (~+10% dmg, per prydwen/genshinlab). A modest bump with an easy condition, but not worth pulling for on its own — only a bonus if you already have it.
All skills +2 levels again. Still just flat numbers, a bridge to M6 — low value.
A big jump (~+30% dmg): after triggering White Thunder 6 times she unleashes a huge AoE hit (~10x multiplier) that scales for both single and multi-target. Very strong but whale-tier — most stop at M2; only those with spare resources aim straight for M6 (skipping the bland M3-M5).
- Rock-steady on-field Attacker: most of her damage comes from Aftershock follow-ups that crit, delivering consistent output with no anomaly RNG.
- Simple, intuitive rotation (stack marks → hold Special → tap Special 3 times) — far easier than combo-heavy Attackers, friendly even to newer players.
- Her Core Passive also buffs the WHOLE TEAM's Aftershock damage by 25%, so she synergizes strongly with follow-up-heavy partners.
- Flexible teams: runs well from F2P mono-electric (Trigger/Rina) up to premium comps with Astra Yao, with strong Electric resonance.
- Very stat-hungry: needs ~70% in-combat Crit Rate and 180%+ Crit DMG to unlock her Core — demanding disc RNG and farming.
- Demands nearly constant on-field time to keep Silver Star marks; frequent swapping drops stacks and DPS — awkward in quick-swap comps.
- Basic Attack windows leave brief openings to get hit — she lacks the generous i-frames of dodge/counter Attackers, so boss reads matter.
Excellent in Shiyu Defense: single-target burst teams (Soldier 0 + a stunner Pulchra/Qingyi + Astra Yao) dump heavy Aftershock chains in the stun window to melt one side's boss fast — game8/prydwen rank her among the top current Attackers.
Also strong in Deadly Assault: steady on-field play keeps Silver Star marks up and rains Aftershock on high-HP foes; mono-electric (Trigger/Rina) or Astra Yao comps regularly hit top scores when given enough break time.
