S tier (Build around them)

War of the Roses hands out more than anything else on the roster: hold the basic attack during Bright Rhythm and the entire team gains 50% CRIT DMG for 40 seconds. Her Passive adds 3% team Ignis DMG for every Rose Bloom that explodes, stacking to 15%, and her Passive ability node is worth another 50% CRIT DMG by itself, the biggest single node in the game. Forty seconds covers two full carry rotations, and she needs eight seconds on the field to set it up. Half her value is locked to Ignis teams, and the other half goes anywhere.

About Red Rose

"The curtain falls; thus have I come to thee. Long parted, how brief shall our meeting be?" Master of the Midsummer Night's Ballroom, she is a dancer who never stops: a hunter, and an assassin. A crimson rose that flourishes in blood-soaked soil, her brilliance shines through a thorny exterior, yet wan moonlight and noxious mists pervade and enshroud her, scarring her very soul. Though red by name, the hand fate has given her is dark and cruel, and only in love or in death shall she be granted forgiveness. A preview build's Character Identity screen confirms her as an Ignis character with a Combat Support combat style and Saviour identity. Her kit runs on a 'Rose Petals' resource that she spends to place exploding 'Rose Blooms': Basic Attack 'Akimbo Overture' is a 5-hit Ignis combo that grants Rose Petals on its 3rd and 5th hits, backed by a two-level Charged Attack and a Pursuit Attack after dodging, Skill 'War of the Roses' consumes a full Rose Petal bar for a flurry of attacks and grants a 'Bright Rhythm' state, during which a held Basic Attack spawns Rose Blooms and raises the whole team's CRIT DMG, Ultimate 'Grand Finale' sends out a circle of thorns for massive Ignis DMG and spawns more Rose Blooms, Tactical Assault 'Epic Debut' swings her in on a vine while firing for Ignis DMG and Rose Petals, and Passive 'Onstage Preparation' raises the whole team's Ignis DMG whenever Rose Blooms explode. An earlier preview build called the Basic Attack 'Prelude by Fire' and used 'Rose Petals' for both the resource and the exploding flowers.

In the Dichotomy Beta story, the Red Rose is a flirtatious assassin tied to House Flora, whose members carry flower titles. Her signature motive, The Bloodbath Mystery, describes Flora's dress hierarchy from the inside (white for children, pink for maidens, red for adulthood, and a hidden black echelon above red that represents the house's sins) and states that she has waited and prepared for that day her entire life. She first appears disguised as a clerk applying to be the Detective's assistant, having bribed the real clerk to swap places purely to size the Detective up. From then on she shadows the case, cutting alarms and finishing off assassins to keep the Detective safe.

The reason is a contract: Ashley has been quietly paying the Red Rose to protect him. When the Detective finally draws her out at a noble ballroom, she keeps her promise and tells Ashley's whole story, from a blood-soaked first kill on a rainy Bridgehead night to the debt of vengeance that drives her. Read the full account in the Silver Palace story recap.

How to play Red Rose

A quick-swap buffer for any crit carry, and the best partner an Ignis carry has. She banks Rose Petals, spends them on War of the Roses, then leaves Rose Blooms on the ground that other Ignis attacks detonate.

Difficulty: lowField time: quick swap, though she is comfortable staying longerResource loop: Rose Petals into Bright Rhythm, then Rose Blooms
  1. 1

    Basic attack to a full Rose Petals bar

    War of the Roses consumes the whole bar and will not fire early

  2. 2

    Press Skill for War of the Roses

    Grants Bright Rhythm for the buff window

  3. 3

    Hold Basic Attack during Bright Rhythm

    Spawns Rose Blooms and raises the whole team's CRIT DMG

  4. 4

    Press Ultimate for Grand Finale

    Seeds a much larger Rose Bloom field for the incoming carry to detonate

  5. 5

    Swap to your carry

    The Passive keeps paying out team Ignis DMG as the Blooms explode behind you

Best Implements for Red Rose

Implement stats are fixed rather than rolled, so a set is a decision you make once. The short answer is The Pre-Argent Light. See the equipment guide for how the four slots and the Epiphany fit together.

4 piecesUltimate Charge Efficiency +15%

Increases the holder's Ultimate Charge Efficiency by 15%. When the character's CRIT DMG exceeds 150%, all other team members gain 18% CRIT DMG.

Why Red Rose: She is the roster's CRIT DMG buffer and this set converts her own CRIT DMG into 18% more for everyone else, which compounds with War of the Roses rather than duplicating it. The Ultimate Charge Efficiency suits her quick swap rotation.

4 piecesUltimate Charge Efficiency +15%

Increases the holder's Ultimate Charge Efficiency by 15%. When the character's Amplitude Multiplier exceeds 150%, all other team members gain 18% Amplitude Multiplier.

Why Red Rose: If her CRIT DMG cannot clear 150%, the Amplitude Multiplier payoff is the easier team buff to switch on.

Best Epiphany for Red Rose

One Epiphany per character, and the effect never changes: duplicates raise the substats and leave the effect text alone. The short answer is The Red Shoes. See the equipment guide for where the slot sits, or all 30 Epiphanies.

The Red Shoes, a Lv.60 Epiphany in Silver Palace
Lv. 60Ultimate Charge Efficiency +30%

Increases the holder's Ultimate Charge Efficiency by 20%. When they deal Ultimate DMG, all characters on the team gain 1 stack of Sanguine Step. Each stack of Sanguine Step increases CRIT DMG by 14% for 40s, stacking up to 3 times.

Why Red Rose: Three stacks of Sanguine Step is 42% CRIT DMG for the whole team with no attribute condition, stacking on top of the CRIT DMG Bright Rhythm already grants. Her Ultimate is the swap-out button, so the stacks go up on the way off the field.

Frustrations of Youth, a Lv.20 Epiphany in Silver Palace
Lv. 20Ultimate Charge Efficiency +25%

Increases the holder's Ultimate Charge Efficiency by 25%. The holder grants a 50% CRIT DMG increase to all characters on the team who share the same Reactor Attribute.

Why Red Rose: A larger 50% CRIT DMG, but only to Ignis teammates, which narrows it to Cinderella and Alf. Take it in a dedicated Ignis team and take The Red Shoes everywhere else.

Team Synergies

CRIT DMG buffer, with an Ignis damage bonus attached

Strengths

  • Most of her attacks carry invulnerability, so she rarely takes damage while buffing
  • Moves with far more agility than the rest of the support roster
  • Buffs two separate axes, one universal and one attribute-specific

Weaknesses

  • Half her output is locked to Ignis teams
  • Needs a full Rose Petals bar before the buff sequence starts

Best partners

"Cinderella"

Both halves of the buff land: the CRIT DMG feeds her Quenched crit scaling, and her Ignis attacks detonate the Rose Blooms.

Captain Kaboom

Captain Kaboom's damage leans on crit, so the CRIT DMG half carries over even though the Ignis half does not.

Alf

She can carry real crit gear, so the team-wide CRIT DMG buff is not spent on a unit that cannot use it.

Weaker pairings

Hugin

The CRIT DMG buff transfers cleanly, but every Ignis damage bonus in her kit is wasted on a Gravitas carry. She is a stopgap for the Detective, not a designed partner.
