SBest Lucia Build Guide
Written by Phạm Ngọc Bảo Châu ·
Playstyle Overview
Lucia is an Ether Support and the best choice for any Rupture team, but has almost no use outside them. Whenever she uses a Harmony (such as her EX Special Attack, Ultimate or Aftershocks), the team gains Darkbreaker: Sheer Force based on her initial HP (maxed at 24,000 HP) plus 30% CRIT DMG.
Reach 100 Dream Points to enter the Dream state: she then unleashes an Aftershock every 8s when teammates land hits, refreshing her buffs. The fastest route is EX Special Attack into the 5th Basic Attack hit (60 + 40 points); using her Ultimate during the Dream state lets her re-enter it automatically. Build pure HP. She is easy to play and brings healing, but needs many skill levels.

Her only real target is 24,000 initial HP (the out-of-combat stat) to max out Darkbreaker's Sheer Force, so Discs 4, 5 and 6 usually all need to be HP%, even with her signature and 2-piece Yunkui Tales. Only swap one slot to another stat if your substats already cover the HP, and even then the gain is tiny.

Mindscape Cinema
Which Mindscapes Are Worth It?
M1 is one of the strongest M1s in the game, and M2 is the best stopping point for further investment. M4 depends on how well you use the extra Decibels, and M6 raises her personal damage without much overall impact. Unlike most Agents, M3 and M5 are also useful since higher EX Special levels raise Darkbreaker's Sheer Force.
- M1Dreamer's Nursery Rhyme also ignores 18% All-Attribute RES and grants +5% Decibel generation, and Echo stacks reapply the buff when it ends. A big damage gain that also helps align Ultimates, even unlocking new rotations for Yixuan and Ju Fufu.
- M2Allies with Darkbreaker inside Ether Veil: Wellspring gain 15% Sheer DMG, a separate multiplier that barely saturates; Lucia's Harmonies also deal 15% more DMG. Only Rupture Agents benefit.
- M4Each Ether Veil activation or extension gives the whole team 100 Decibels (once every 15s). Excellent when used well, such as enabling double Ultimates in one Stun with Yixuan, but worthless if the Decibels go to waste.
- M6Inside Ether Veil, Lucia gains ATK equal to 2% of her initial Max HP, and her Harmonies always CRIT with +30% CRIT DMG. Her personal damage multiplies, but it starts so low that the overall impact stays modest.
M1Secret FriendRecommended
When Dreamer's Nursery Rhyme deals additional DMG, ignore 18% of enemy All-Attribute RES and have 5% increased Decibel Generation Rate.
Each time Lucia performs a skill upgrade, she gains 1 stack of Echo, stacking up to 4 times. When Dreamer's Nursery Rhyme ends, if Lucia has any Echo stacks, 1 stack is consumed to reapply Dreamer's Nursery Rhyme to all squad members.
As a child, Lucia's grandmother took her by the hand and led her into the Hollows. From that moment on, she roamed its darkened trails and hunted in its boundless depths. With her brush, she painted the Ethereals she encountered, and the glow of Ether became the brilliance that lit her childhood.
"When I was little, I had three friends: the mighty black shield, the teleporting Thana, and the super-powerful great armor!"
"Then one day, they were gone..."
"But it's okay! I drew them in my notebook. Now, with just a wave of my staff, I can summon them all back!"
M2Great MagicianRecommended
While Lucia is inside Ether Veil: Wellspring, Harmony deals 15% more DMG.
Agents in the Darkbreaker state gain an additional 15% Sheer DMG increase while in Ether Veil: Wellspring.
Lately, a tale has been spreading through New Eridu about the Night Emissary.
"Every night at midnight, the Night Emissary shows up on the streets to tell us all kinds of stories!"
"She's also an amazing magician! Just by chanting a spell, there's a 'Woosh!' and she summons a whole swarm of Ethereals to fight for us!"
"Last time we got lost in a Hollow, the Night Emissary used that very trick to save us!"
—As told by Avocaboo, Devilboo and Boollseye.
M3The Best Partner

—Knock, knock knock.
With the steady rhythm of knocks, a kebab was passed through the window.
"Proxy, take it! Hot off the fire — roast skewers with lemon popping candy, paired as perfectly as a Dullahan's sword and shield!"
"Once you finish eating... let's head out and play!"
"I have a feeling... tonight we'll find some amazing inspiration for an urban legend, the kind that can make the entire forum explode!"
M4Late-Night HoursRecommended
When Ether Veil is activated or extended on the field, Lucia grants all squad members 100 Decibels. This effect can trigger once every 15s.
A Scholar of Urban Legends must have keen curiosity, plenty of drive, and the guts to set off without hesitation. Lucia is no exception.
That's why, during her early days in New Eridu, she became a regular at Public Security.
"How many times do I have to tell you? Chasing after ghost stories doesn't give you the right to wander into construction zones!"
"Don't sleep on the streets, don't run around in the middle of the night, and don't go diving into Hollows in front of everyone... These are all part of the 'Rules for Life in New Eridu,' and you need to take them seriously!"
"If you really can't sleep, then... uh, why not go explore Thymefield manor, and tell Alice a few ghost stories while you're there?"
M5Dream Watcher
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
Night falls dark as ink, the stars shining bright and brilliant.
She journeys from afar, carrying stories, ballads, and unfinished verses.
She plucks a flower, dew gathered upon its petals, and sets it on the windowsill.
She watches over your dreams, keeping them warm and safe.
"Good morning... Huh? When did you get here, Lucia?"
"I'm not sure, but it hasn't been too long... time just seems to fly when I'm around you, Proxy."
M6The Never-Ending JourneyRecommended
When Lucia is inside any Ether Veil, her ATK increases by 2% of her initial Max HP, and Harmony always triggers a CRIT with Harmony CRIT DMG increased by 30%.
Lucia's life is an endless journey. She runs beneath the moonlight, searching, crossing street after street, city after city.
Stories intertwine like threads, spinning endless dreams, while gentle song flows beneath the glow of the night lanterns.
Her search never stops, and under the stars, the journey goes on without end.
Only when the night fades and the sun rises does the girl step out of the Hollows, stretching lazily.
"Yaaawn... I'm so tired... but everyone says it's best not to sleep inside a Hollow..."
"Maybe I should just crash on the floor at the video store instead!"

"Wanna hear a story about Ethereals?"
"If you listen, we'll be friends! Listen to one more, and we'll be best friends!"
"My tribe lives on the edge of the Hollow, far from civilization."
"For us, the ever-changing city feels more distant than the wild cosmos."
"Though, just because we don't have all your fancy metal boxes from the city doesn't mean we're writing on turtle shells!"

Story
Details
Lucia, a member of Spook Shack, goes by the online name "Night Emissary." She's a backpacker, an Ethereal story enthusiast, and a connoisseur of late-night food stalls. Records show that Lucia hails from a tribe living on the outskirts of the city. Legend has it their ancestors once encountered an Ethereal called the "Night Horror" (absent from the Hollow Investigative Association archives), which left them with a strange gift: Ethereals tend not to notice them. The cost, though, is that they dream of the Night Horror at night, and under its influence, they sleepwalk into Hollows, where corruption awaits. Because of this, the tribe took on the role of Nightwatchers. They rest during the day and hunt deep in the night, avoiding the Night Horror's pull. And if anyone must sleep at night, their family will keep vigil at their side until dawn. Lucia grew up surrounded by her kin, and even after arriving in New Eridu, she has kept to the Nightwatcher tradition of staying awake through the night and watching over her cherished friends, shielding them from the Night Horror's reach. Master, if you hear a knock at your window late at night, don't be alarmed. It may just be a sleepless night guardian stopping by to say hello. Additional note: Lucia's pet is "Chestnut," a small, friendly Hati. It once lived in the Hollow's outskirts, but has since moved deeper inside. Even I can no longer detect its exact whereabouts.

Lucia's father worked with the Defense Force's special forces, and because of his demanding duties, he could only return home once a year. For young Lucia, that time with him felt like a reward in itself. While on leave one time, Lucia's father received an emergency order and had to depart at once. To calm his crying daughter before leaving, he coaxed her into covering her eyes for a game of hide-and-seek. By the time she finished counting and opened them, he was already gone, never to return again. Years later, during an operation in the Town, Lucia came face-to-face with her father, now corrupted into the Wandering Hunter. To the soft tune of a nursery rhyme, she at last brought their unfinished hide-and-seek to an end. The Wandering Hunter laid down his obsession, tainted by miasma, and slowly faded away. Their reunion took place here — as did their farewell.
Cooperation Notes:
Belle
Lucia enjoys traveling the Hollows alone and tracking down Ethereals. She also often shows up with snacks, tapping on the window before slipping into the video store to watch a movie... She's always popping up in different places with a bright smile — just like a little sprite flitting through the night!

Ever since getting hooked on Lucia's Bangboo ghost stories, Eous has stopped going to bed on time... Now it just camps out at the front desk, ears pricked for the sound of tapping on the window... What a headache.
