  • Promeia Overview

Promeia is a S-Rank Ice Anomaly Agent who serves as a main DPS in combat. Moving on to her kit, she possesses a unique resource called Corrosive Chill, which can be restored through hitting enemies. When another squad member triggers FreezeDisorderAbloom or Vortex, Promeia will also restore Corrosive Chill. Upon accumilating enough Corrosive Chill, it will be consumed and converted into 1 point of Trial by Cold, up to a maximum of 2 points. Some of Promeia's attacks can consume 1 point of Trial by Cold to trigger Abloom upon hitting enemies inflicted with an Attribute Anomaly, dealing massive DMG and restoring 100 Decibels. Many of Promeia's Special Attacks can be chained into another by pressing Basic Attack or Special Attack.

Promeia Overview

Promeia Skill Priority

Below are the best skill priorities for Promeia:

SkillPriority
Core Skill Core Skill★★★★★ (Top)
Basic Attack Basic Attack★★★ (High)
Chain Attack Chain Attack★★★★ (Top)
Special Attack Special Attack★★★★ (Top)
Dodge Dodge (Low)
Assist Assist (Low)

Being an Anomaly character, Promeia's main source of damage comes from her Anomaly procs, which don't scale on skill levels, so keep in mind that general skill upgrades outside of her Core Skill have little impact compared to those of traditional DPS characters. Speaking of Promeia's Core Skill, it increases her Abloom DMG significantly with every upgrade, maxing out at a tremendous 635% of Attribute Anomaly DMG of the corresponding attribute, making it her top priority skill. Next up are her Special Attack and Chain Attack, playing a huge role in contributing to her overall DMG outside of Attribute Anomaly. Her Basic Attack comes right after, providing somewhat decent benefits but not to the extent of the previous skills. Lastly, her Dodge and Assist skill aren't too relevant, so you should only consider upgrading them once you've levelled up her other skills.

Promeia Best W-Engines

As an Anomaly character, Promeia she wants as much Anomaly Mastery, Anomaly Proficiency and ATK as possible. Make sure her Anomaly Mastery exceeds 150, as only then will she get the most value out of her Core Skill. Any Anomaly W-Engine focusing on those stats will be suitable for her. Among them, her Signature W-Engine, Frostfall Sickle, is her strongest pick, providing her with additional Anomaly Mastery, as well as other powerful DMG buffs. We recommend you secure this W-Engine if you wish to maximise Promeia's effectiveness.

Promeia Best Teams

Promeia's Additional Core Ability plays a vital role in her performance, it is crucial you have it activated in every team comp. Don't be too stressed, however, because the conditions for activing it are really easy, as you just need to have an Anomaly or Support character in the squad.

1. Promeia Premium Teams

Promeia synergies especially well with VivianBurnice, and Nangong, as they all require minimal field-time and possess the ability to activate Abloom. Yuzuha and Sunna are quite self-explanatory here, they're amazing for any Anomaly teams.

Promeia Mindscape Cinema (draft)

M1: Innocent Idealism
  • Rating: ★★★★ (Great)
  • Effect: When Promeia uses Ultimate: Glaciating Impalement, she gains an additional effect: if Trial by Cold is not at max, gain 1 points of Trial by Cold. This effect can trigger once after a use of Ultimate: Glaciating Impalement. When any squad member triggers Abloom on enemies with Presumption of Guilt, it ignores an additional 20% DEF.
  • Promeia's Mindscape 1 gives her another way to gain Trial by Cold points and provides a solid 20% DEF shred on the squad's Ablooms, increasing not only Promeia's but also the squad's DMG output greatly.
M2: Faltering Conviction
  • Rating: ★★★★ (Great)
  • Effect: Promeia's Anomaly Proficiency increases by 40. The multiplier of Abloom triggered by consuming Trial by Cold increases by 120%.
  • As simple as the effects of this Mindscape are, the boost they bring about for Promeia's DPS is quite great.
M3: Cruel Moonlight
  • Rating: ★ (Not Good)
  • Effect: Basic Attack, Assist, Dodge, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
  • Due to the nature of Anomaly characters, skill upgrades offer minimal changes in performance.
M4: Ruthless Accusation
  • Rating: ★★★ (Good)
  • Effect: When Promeia triggers Abloom, she restores 5 Corrosive Chill. This effect can trigger once every 0.5s.
  • This Mindscape allows Promeia to trigger Abloom more frequently. However, she needs 50 Corrosive Chill for 1 Trial by Cold point to trigger Abloom, which means that you only get 1 additional Abloom from triggering 10 of them, thus limiting usefulness of the Mindscape.
M5: The Dying Moth
  • Rating: ★ (Not Good)
  • Effect: Basic Attack, Assist, Dodge, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
  • As explained in Promeia's Mindscape 3, skill upgrades for her don't matter much.
M6: To Be Continued
  • Rating: ★★★★★ (Best)
  • Effect: When Promeia consumes Trial by Cold to trigger Abloom, it triggers an additional special Abloom effect, dealing Attribute Anomaly DMG of the corresponding attribute at a fixed 200% multiplier. 5 Corrosive Chill and 100 Decibels are also restored. This effect can trigger at most once every 15s. In addition, Attribute Anomaly DMG and Disorder DMG dealt by Promeia ignore 15% of enemies' All-Attribute RES.
  • Promeia's Mindscape 6 is undoubtly her strongest Mindscape, providing many quality of life changes to her kit, as well as boosting her DPS to an even higher level.
