Understand Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation
Useful when…
- Encounters with multiple enemy defeats where the wearer has time to build stacks.
- A wearer who benefits from CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG as the battle progresses.
How does the stacking effect work?
The two-piece set grants 4% CRIT Rate. When an enemy target is defeated, the wearer gains 4% CRIT DMG, stacking up to 10 times. The maximum number of stacks is ten; each stack is tied to an enemy defeat.
When is it useful?
Consider it when the encounter supplies enough enemy defeats for the CRIT DMG to build and the wearer can make use of that ramping benefit. Its full stack value is not available automatically at battle start.
How do defeat-triggered alternatives differ?
City of Converging Stars increases all allies' CRIT DMG when an enemy is defeated, with a non-stacking effect, and also increases the wearer's ATK after Follow-Up ATK use. Sigonia instead adds CRIT DMG to the wearer per defeat, stacking up to ten times. Duran builds through allied Follow-Up ATKs rather than enemy defeats.
What should you avoid?
Do not assume the CRIT DMG stacks are present before enemies are defeated, or that the effect can exceed ten stacks. Consider whether the encounter allows the wearer to build them.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The CRIT DMG increase builds only as enemies are defeated.
- The CRIT DMG stacks are capped at ten.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the full CRIT DMG stack bonus as active at battle start.
- Assuming the CRIT DMG effect can stack more than ten times.
