Return to Darkness GUIDE
Understand Return to Darkness
Useful when…
- Consider it for a Hunt wearer who benefits from CRIT Rate and may attack enemies with a buff available to dispel.
What are the chance and limits?
The wearer gains 12% CRIT Rate at S1, rising to 24% at S5. After a CRIT hit, the fixed chance to dispel one buff is 16% at S1 and 32% at S5. It can trigger only once per attack.
When can the dispel matter?
CRIT Rate is granted independently of the dispel. The dispel effect follows a CRIT hit and is chance-based; a buff must be available to dispel for it to be useful. Adversarial grants Speed after a defeat, while Arrows grants temporary CRIT Rate at battle start. Baptism of Pure Thought focuses on CRIT DMG against debuffed targets and an Ultimate-triggered effect.
What can be upgraded?
Promotion advances the Light Cone through six stages. Superimposition increases CRIT Rate and the fixed dispel chance; supplied examples show a sacrifice copy for selected steps. The one-trigger-per-attack limit remains part of the effect description.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The dispel follows a CRIT hit and remains probabilistic.
- Only one dispel trigger can occur per attack.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating dispel as guaranteed after a CRIT hit.
- Assuming multiple dispel triggers from one attack.
