Understand Divine-Querying Master Smith
Useful when…
- A wearer who can inflict the DEF reduction state and whose allies can benefit from the resulting team damage buff.
Effects and trigger
Two pieces increase Max HP by 12%. Four pieces increase the wearer's CRIT DMG dealt to enemies in the DEF reduction state by 28%. After the wearer inflicts that state on an enemy, all allies gain Comburent for 2 turns, increasing their damage by 15%. The effect cannot stack and can be triggered again after the wearer uses an attack.
When to consider it
The 4-piece support effect requires the wearer to inflict the DEF reduction state. Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters instead rewards damage against debuffed enemies, with stronger CRIT DMG conditions at two and three debuffs. Messenger Traversing Hackerspace grants team SPD when the wearer uses an Ultimate on an ally. These sets serve distinct triggers, so compare them against the wearer's actual actions and the desired effect.
Limitations
The personal CRIT DMG bonus is specifically against enemies in the DEF reduction state, and the team damage buff requires the wearer to inflict that state. Comburent cannot stack; the stated way to trigger it again is for the wearer to use an attack.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The personal CRIT DMG and team buff each depend on the DEF reduction state.
- Comburent cannot stack and lasts 2 turns.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the team damage buff triggers merely because an enemy is already in the DEF reduction state.
- Expecting Comburent to stack with itself.
