Requiem Feast

Last updated:

Neverness to Everness team guide for Requiem Feast: composition, Esper reactions, key synergies, rotation tips, pros and cons, and substitutes.

Requiem Feast

Zankou's DoT line-up with Blackbird: Lacrimosa triggers Scorch and Nova, Discord follows, and Sakiri amplifies every DoT on the target. It sits just behind the Daffodill and Linko version.

Tier T0
Elements
Incantation Incantation Psyche Psyche Chaos Chaos

Team Composition

Main DPS

Holds the field and spreads DoT with Nightmare Waltz. Her two DoTs, Lacrimosa's Nightmare and Scorch keep Can I Eat This? at full value.

Sub DPS / Buffer

Nova on the swap to Lacrimosa and a 20% team ATK buff from her Ultimate.

Scorch Enabler / DoT Amplifier

Her Ultimate raises the ATK of the rest of the team, Can I Eat This? adds 25% DoT damage per DoT type while Scorch is up, and Devour Whole groups enemies.

Substitutes

Hexed with Zankou in place of the DoT amplification.

Healing and revives, plus Hexed with Zankou.

Chaos Anchor / Sub DPS

Scorch with Zankou or Sakiri, Nova with Blackbird, and Nightmare DoT. She needs more field time than Daffodill.

Substitutes

The Crimson Discord shell without Linko; a high-Awakening Daffodill needs no field time.

Esper Reactions

Triple Cycle

CosmosAnimaIncantationChaosPsycheLakshana
Discord Triple Cycle
Chaos Chaos Psyche Psyche Incantation Incantation

Deducts a percentage of the target's Break when they are simultaneously affected by Nova and Scorch.

Resonance

Tomato Banquet

Discord Enhancement: Deals additional DMG equal to 400% of ATK to the target when Discord is triggered, if the target is already Broken.

Blade Draw

Discord Enhancement: Further reduces the target's Break cap by 10% for 30s while affected by Discord and restores it to normal upon leaving combat. Stacks Discord Enhancement effects up to a maximum reduction of 20% of the target's initial Break cap.

In this team: Deducts a percentage of the target's Break while it is under Nova and Scorch at once. Lacrimosa's Tomato Banquet adds an extra 400% of ATK when Discord triggers on a target that is already Broken.

Duo Cycles

CosmosAnimaIncantationChaosPsycheLakshana
Scorch Duo Cycle
Incantation Incantation Chaos Chaos

Upon triggering Esper Cycle, inflicts Scorch on the target for 15s, dealing DoT.

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 Resistance, or +10% Break Efficiency, lasting for 15s. The same effect cannot stack.

Silent Sunset

Scorch Enhancement: Scorch can be stacked up to 3 times. For each DoT effect allies inflict on a target afflicted with Scorch, Zankou inflicts 1 stack of Scorch on them, replacing the DMG, type, and duration of existing Scorch on the target with those of the newly inflicted effect. Scorch inflicted by this effect cannot trigger it again.

Triggered by: Zankou or Sakiri ↔ Lacrimosa swap

In this team: Applies Scorch for 15s. Zankou's Silent Sunset raises the cap to 3 stacks and re-applies a stack for every DoT an ally lands on the target.

CosmosAnimaIncantationChaosPsycheLakshana
Nova Duo Cycle
Chaos Chaos Psyche 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.

Harmonics

Nova Enhancement: Deals 3 instances of Psyche DMG to the target after their Nova status ends, each equal to 50% of ATK.

Thrushsong

Stain Enhancement: Increases Stain's base DMG Bonus to 30% and extends its duration to 20s. Nova Enhancement: When Nova ends, deals additional Mental DMG equal to 20% of the actual total DMG taken by the target while Nova was active (excluding DMG dealt by the Support Skill that triggered Nova and by Nova itself), up to 1,000× Blackbird's Base ATK. This additional DMG is not affected by any other DMG Buffs or Debuffs. Inflicts Nova on the target once afterward. Prevents Nova inflicted by this effect from triggering the Nova reapplication effect again.

Triggered by: Blackbird ↔ Lacrimosa swap

In this team: Inflicts Nova for 5s. When it ends Thrushsong adds Mental DMG equal to 20% of the damage the target took meanwhile, and Nova is applied once more.

Why It Works

Lacrimosa sits next to both Incantation units and Blackbird on the wheel, so she completes Scorch and Nova and the team runs Discord. Every DoT on the target — Zankou's two, Lacrimosa's Nightmare and Scorch — counts for Sakiri's Can I Eat This?, and Silent Sunset turns allied DoT into more Scorch stacks.

Key Synergies

DoT Pool

Zankou's DoTs, Nightmare and Scorch fill Can I Eat This? to its +100% cap, and Nightmare Waltz spreads up to 4 DoT effects to the pack.

Tomato Banquet

Discord on a target that is already Broken adds an extra 400% of Lacrimosa's ATK.

Rotation Tips

  1. 1

    Open on Zankou, then swap to Lacrimosa for Scorch

  2. 2

    Sakiri: Ultimate and Skill for the ATK buff

  3. 3

    Blackbird: Skill, then swap to Lacrimosa for Nova; Lacrimosa Skill and Ultimate

  4. 4

    Zankou: her full combo, then Blackbird's Ultimate before the next Lacrimosa window
