ETD-4 Passionate Combo
The ETD-4 faction team built around the exclusive Passionate Combo synergy between Lacrimosa and Baicang. Swapping to Baicang during Lacrimosa's Bat Form triggers an immediate attack, a Power Word Silence, a unique super-jump, and a team-wide +20% ATK boost. Combines elite boss burst with the Discord triple-cycle.
Team Composition
Bat Form DPS. Morning Tomato copies the boss's highest-multiplier ability. Tomato Banquet: deals 400% ATK bonus DMG when Discord fires on an already-Broken target — the defining burst window of this team. Provides Nightmare DoT stacks.
Passionate Combo: switching to Baicang while Lacrimosa is in Bat Form immediately triggers an attack, a Power Word Silence, and a unique super-jump — plus a 20% ATK boost for the whole team. Moderate Mischief doubles Scorch stacks on every Power Word while target is Scorched.
Substitutes
Replaces Baicang as the Incantation element anchor. Loses Passionate Combo and Power Word system, but gains Can I Eat This? DoT amplification and Devour CC. Simpler rotation, slightly lower ceiling.
Discord trigger and Break-cap shredder. Blade Draw reduces the enemy's max Break gauge, enabling the Broken state that activates Tomato Banquet's 400% ATK bonus. Second Chaos unit alongside Lacrimosa — both contribute to Nova and Discord cycling.
Completes the Chaos+Incantation+Psyche bottom-trio as Psyche anchor. It's Friendship! converts Nova detonation into a persistent team ATK buff. Off-field healing keeps Baicang's HP-drain economy sustainable.
Substitutes
ETD-4 faction member. Furnace of Guilt enhances Nova to drain 200% of Fadia's base Max HP from the target. Baicang's Moderate Working passive also synergizes: if Fadia's HP drops below 20%, Baicang auto-attacks and heals her — a unique passive loop.
Esper Reactions
Triple Cycle
Discord Triple Cycle Chaos Psyche Incantation
Chaos Psyche Incantation In this team: Drains enemy Break bar when Nova+Scorch are active simultaneously. Lacrimosa's Tomato Banquet: when Discord fires on an already-Broken target, deals additional DMG equal to 400% ATK — the highest single-reaction bonus in 1.0.
Duo Cycles
Scorch Duo Cycle Incantation Chaos
Incantation Chaos Inflicts Scorch on the target for 15s, dealing DoT after triggering Esper Cycle.
Resonance
Moderate Mischief
Scorch Enhancement: Inflicts another instance of Scorch with the same effect as the existing one when a Power Word is generated on a target affected by Scorch.
Can I Eat This?
Scorch Enhancement: Increases DoT taken by the target by 25% for each type of DoT effect while in Scorch state, up to 100%.
Temperance
Scorch Enhancement: Applies one of three random debuffs whenever Scorch is inflicted on a target: -20% ATK, -10% Esper RES, or +10% Break Efficiency, lasting for 15s. The same effect cannot stack.
Triggered by: Baicang → Lacrimosa or Lacrimosa → Baicang swap
Nova Duo Cycle Chaos Psyche
Chaos Psyche Inflicts Nova on the target for 5s after triggering Esper Cycle. When the effect ends, the target takes massive Mental Damage.
Resonance
Furnace of Guilt
Nova Enhancement: Allows all allies to drain Max HP from the target when Nova ends. The target loses Max HP equal to 200% of Fadia's base Max HP, and each ally gains Max HP equal to 10% of Fadia's base Max HP. Total drained cannot exceed 50% of Fadia's base Max HP. Restores both parties' stats upon exiting combat.
It's Friendship!
Nova Enhancement: Allows all allies to drain ATK from the target when Nova ends. The target loses ATK equal to 4% of Haniel's Base ATK, and each ally gains ATK equal to 8% of Haniel's Base ATK. The total drain is capped at 16% of Haniel's Base ATK, and the target cannot lose more than 20% of their initial ATK. Restores both parties' stats upon exiting combat.
Triggered by: Lacrimosa/Daffodill → Haniel swap
In this team: It's Friendship! drains 4% of Haniel's Base ATK from the target and grants each ally 8% of Haniel's Base ATK (up to 16% total drain, 20% cap on target loss).
Why It Works
The Passionate Combo is the most unique faction synergy in 1.0: swapping from Lacrimosa's Bat Form to Baicang simultaneously triggers an attack, generates a Power Word Silence (Baicang's highest single-target multiplier), unlocks a verticality movement option, and buffs the whole team's ATK by 20%. The Discord triple-cycle ensures the boss is both Broken (via Daffodill) and Scorch+Nova-stacked (via Baicang+Lacrimosa) when Lacrimosa unleashes her highest-multiplier Bat Form ability — activating Tomato Banquet's 400% ATK bonus on top.
Key Synergies
Passionate Combo (Lacrimosa → Baicang Swap)
Exclusively available in the ETD-4 team composition. Swapping to Baicang during Lacrimosa's Bat Form triggers: 1) An immediate Baicang attack, 2) A free Power Word Silence (300% multiplier single-target), 3) A unique super-jump for aerial repositioning, 4) A 20% ATK buff for the whole team. This is one of the highest-value swap interactions in the game.
Tomato Banquet + Discord + Break Combo
Lacrimosa's Tomato Banquet passive deals +400% ATK bonus damage when Discord fires on an already-Broken target. Daffodill handles the Break phase while Lacrimosa+Baicang maintain Scorch+Nova simultaneously for Discord — aligning all three conditions at once creates the team's peak damage spike.
Moderate Mischief Scorch Double-Stack
While Lacrimosa provides the Chaos element for the Scorch reaction, Baicang's Moderate Mischief passive generates a second Scorch on every Power Word proc — ensuring Scorch density is maintained without requiring constant re-application.
Haniel It's Friendship! ATK Drain
When Nova detonates (triggered by the Chaos+Psyche swap), Haniel drains 4% of her Base ATK from the boss and redistributes 8% of her Base ATK to every ally. This is a passive, rotation-free ATK steroid that stacks throughout the fight.
Rotation Tips
-
1
Always ensure Lacrimosa is in Bat Form BEFORE swapping to Baicang to trigger Passionate Combo
-
2
Daffodill rotation: apply Chaos/Scorch, then use Ultimate to instantly charge teammate skills before the burst window
-
3
Identify the boss's highest-multiplier skill and prioritize copying it with Lacrimosa's Morning Tomato
-
4
Coordinate Tomato Banquet with the Discord+Broken moment: have Scorch+Nova active, trigger Break with Daffodill, then fire Discord for the 400% bonus
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Unique Passionate Combo is the highest-value swap interaction in 1.0 — free Silence + 20% ATK team buff
- Tomato Banquet's 400% ATK bonus on Discord+Broken creates the highest single-reaction damage spike
- Full Discord triple-cycle (Chaos+Incantation+Psyche) is the most complete bottom-trio setup
- ETD-4 faction synergy enables Baicang's Moderate Working passive (auto-attacks with Fadia variant)
- Strong boss kill potential combining Lacrimosa's burst with Baicang's Execute threshold
Cons
- Requires four S-rank characters (three limited) — highest investment cost of any team in 1.0
- Double Main DPS (Lacrimosa + Baicang) means no dedicated healer unless Haniel is present
- Rotation is complex: requires precise Lacrimosa Bat Form timing for the Passionate Combo swap
- Both Lacrimosa and Baicang have HP management mechanics — sustain without Haniel is risky
